End of An Era

Janet, calmly loaded in the trailer, ready to move.

 We sold our last horse this week. The sweet red-and-white tovero filly with blue eyes, named Janet for a teacher and friend known for her patriotic "support our troops" in-school campaigns has moved on.

When the full-grown, saddle trained horses were here we hardly had time to ride. Maybe the mares enjoyed the company of their small herd in the pasture, but none got to explore the miles of trails in the area, so we let them go to homes that could better serve them. The filly, although she grew with us for over 3-1/2 years, was not trained to saddle or bridle. Now, she has a new home.

We were concerned about loading her in the trailer for the first time, but when her new owner was present, coaxing her from the head while I kept pressure at her hind end, why, she walked on within minutes. The process was so calm, and smooth that we knew she was going to a good home.

Tashena with Jerry, her new pal.

Once she arrived in Nashville, she explored her new pasture with Jerry, following him as closely as she had followed us here. Her new name is Tashena Scout Winter Foxx. We are sure that Tashena will be well loved and cared for by her new owners.

Bye, Janet.
