On Monday, it was confirmed the some of the rescue horses from the ranch would be used in a music video that was being shot on Tuesday. I was asked to haul the horses since I have the truck that can pull the horse trailer while fully loaded. We knew that Tuesday would be crazy, but I don’t think any of us realized how crazy it would really be. Tuesday morning found Munchkin and I at the ranch earlier than usual – much to Munchkin’s chagrin as a morning person she is not. We still had not heard what time…

Munchkin – a Proud Horse Owner
Posted in Family
Last week, an unexpected sequence of events lead to Munchkin becoming owner of Dixie. She isn’t living at our rental house as it’s not a horse property, but when the time is right, she will be coming home to live with us.

Munchkin’s Foster Horse

Munchkin thought that she’d be fostering Sadie, but over the weekend, Sadie was adopted by a really great family which is wonderful news for Sadie. Thankfully, we had talked about this possibility prior to arriving at the ranch, so while she was disappointed, it wasn’t a huge let down. With what happened next, it quickly became the last thing we were thinking about…. Shortly after…
