Hi All,
Like most of you my summer has been a busy one! This is the year that Dream turned 4...and being so this is the summer that Dream learned the cold hard truth to life..he is a horse...not a 24/7 lawn mower..granted he does that job well. I thought it was time he learned to do more so in April he left for 4 months with the trainer to be broke to ride. Here are some pics of him.
In case your wondering Dream is a 18 H percheron and I have raised him from a weanie..He came home a great horse, that is a blast to ride. I will be using him this fall to move the cows home, so I'll get to really see what he's made of....My only thought/worry is just how do you get a calf to stop/turn if it can walk right under the horses belly???...lol
This is my other summer project....Everyone meet...Olenas Dun With Doc..A.K.A Honey...She is/was a rescue.(shes MINE now..hehe) The pics I'm going to post of her in the begining are from BEFORE she was in my care! She had a skin fungus, a very heavy worm load, and fluid in her lungs and to make matters worse she had very little handling.
Her winter coat hides just how bad she really was....she was nothing but skin and bones...her cost was so matted and full of goo that she almost made ya gag if you got to close to her....she just smelt that bad!
Pics after 30 days of good feed and lovings, her neck in this pic shows a bit about how thin she was. she started looking 100% better as she shed that yucky winter coat.
After 60 days...She is 8 days away from her 1st b-day in these pics.
Feeling a bit better!
A pic from this past Aug....She just had a bath and the pink stuff is swat..she had an old scar that healed raised with like a skin flap or tag removed from her wither area and yes those are pink rings around her eyes...just to help keep the flys a bay...
We are still working on her wormy belly! but she is coming along nicely.
Here is a link to her lines.

She has decent working lines for my area + you can't be to picky when it comes to a FREE rescue horse....lol
I'm hoping that she will enjoy ranch work, sorting,penning and maybe even some cutting...but we have a ways to go before we get there....but she shows some promise...
Honey spys a cow!
She sizes em up....
Changes her mind for something a little more her size..lol
She starts moving the calf...
after about 30 seconds of this the calf is not so sure this is fun and trys to bolt away...she ran right with him, got in front of him, turned him and then pushed him a bit more before the fun ran out of the game and she let him go....Darn cam batt. died after the last pic so I missed it all..on film anyways.
