"There is nothing better for the inside of a man than the outside of a horse" -Will Rogers
Job 39:19-25
19 “Do you give the horse its strength or clothe its neck with a flowing mane? 20 Do you make it leap like a locust, striking terror with its proud snorting? 21 It paws fiercely, rejoicing in its strength, and charges into the fray. 22 It laughs at fear, afraid of nothing; it does not shy away from the sword. 23 The quiver rattles against its side, along with the flashing spear and lance. 24 In frenzied excitement it eats up the ground; it cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds. 25 At the blast of the trumpet it snorts, ‘Aha!’ It catches the scent of battle from afar, the shout of commanders and the battle cry.

Oct 21: Babies are Picked Up
Today I decided to skip school since the babies were going to be adopted and I wanted to be there. The lady was a bit late, but not by much, than we went out and started showing them off. She had been interested in Comet because of her injury and wanted to take her in as a rescue horse and she had already chosen Gatsby by looks and the pics. She had seen of him. She had to choose between Partner and Comet which seemed to be a very hard decision. Finally Partner walked up to her and put his head in her arms. She immediately melted and decided to adopt both of the boys but also take Comet because she had some friends who were interested in her. We loaded them up easily and, after a few tries to get out of our driveway, she headed out. We were sad to see them go but we were also happy that they got a good home. Now, the next step is the fall horse show.

Day 100: 4 Babies
On October 1st we brought back 3 more Mustangs than we expected. There were no registered bidders there which meant that all of the Mustangs would go for minimum bid. One of the horses got bought by a man that already boarded his horses at Reber Ranch. 2 of the other Mustangs ended up going home with there trainers and the three that didn’t went home with me. The three that came home with us were super sweet and nice. It took them a while to warm up to us but they were soon running up to the gate when they heard us call them, and they would put there heads on our shoulders (which is very rude but sweet). We had a lot of fun working with them every day and my sister was even thinking of keeping one, Gatsby. Partner and Gatsby are practically twins, both bay with at least one full sock on there hind feet. I like to call Partner ‘Clue’ because his stripe (on his face) looked liked like a question mark. There was also Comet. She is very sweet and fun to work with but she has a wound on her head. We had a vet come out to check it out and found that her skull was actually fractured and she would have to take medication twice a day. Even with the add on of special care for one horse it has been a great journey and we look forward to finding them great homes.
