Promise Acre: Our Journey

[Mini Horses]

It may be that Duke misses your voice and touch....a lot of animals are that way....

Got him this morning. No funny business and he behaved as normal, a bit pushy but not naughty.... he seemed happy to see us. just a bad fit I suppose....

Seems these things show that horses DO have feelings and KNOW YOU !!

Drove 15 hrs to pick up an older stallion I had sold with first right if they sold. She called 4 yrs after, I went. Upon arrival she said he had gotten a little hard to catch & halter....but, I called he came, I loved on him & held out his halter -- he put his head in it!! We drove HOME.

They know & remember. Duke just didn't like or agree with those arrangements! He's yours.

Well done with making hay.... ended up with 96 more bales, 55 stored in my trailer... but at least it's not tractors in there....
made apple pear sauce Monday... got 14 pints and a 2nd degree burn. Thankfully I have an aloe plant...
have been getting lists made for our big bunny show... taking 9 down, only bringing 3 home. 2 are a friends, 5 are sold it all goes well. Lots of transporters to connect with... and just making sure the bunnies do well... my suv will be filled to the gills.

can't say I am thrilled with this but DH likes him... and I agree he just didn't want a new fancy home... goofy horse... if DH just wants to ride him every once in awhile, well I guess that's that.

Not a good idea to show the kids why they need to be careful with hot stuff on the stove! Hope the burn heals quickly.

Honey on a burn is very healing also.

So today is the last day of ARBA National convention! What a trip. Frankly way too many people but most were kind and friendly. The only thing left is to pack up and go home. We got here Sunday. Got bunnies checked in and 2 bunnies to transporters.... that was fun with 20,000 duc) rabbits and their owners. But got it all worked out. Monday the kids bunnies showed. They only place top 10 so no placings. But John's new mini rex doe is a sweetie. Tuesday Jocelyn went to feed and ended up getting 3 of the bunnies fitted to harnesses. We are contemplating teaching them to "hop"

Then up early Wednesday where we had a meeting with other Velveteen lop breeders for discussion of a new "inclusive " club. And then it was show time. There were 82 Velveteen lops to show and 6 judges judging.... they wanted them all up at once!!! There were 5 exhibitors with some family to run bunnies, write, ect! It got crazy for a bit. But all worked out. The COD holder Megan is very nice, great to work with. And I am super excited to work with her. She had 60 to 70 of the lops showing. Everyone did pretty well. Our jr broken buck, Julian placed 1st/6 and Doc, Sr solid buck placed 6/16. I feel affirmed that our program is going in the right direction. Judges were impressed with stock. I really feel they have a very good chance at passing next year. Jocelyn loved the show and was my helper all week. John and Kinzey hung out with my cousins whom we stayed with. And found some allergy medicine to help Jocelyn's allergy to the bunnies!!
We are letting the crowds get less as we only have a 2 hour dive home. So kids are sleeping in. Ready to get home .

We are contemplating teaching them to "hop"

So instead of "Walkies!" it will be "Hoppies!"?
