Thank You!

Many thanks to everyone who supported our June fundraising house concert.  We raised $3400 for the care of the horses!  Harry Chalmiers sang one of Nina's favorite songs, Stay with Me, and here it is as a memento of this exciting and successful event.

Tack Sale to Benefit Rescued Horses

One of the ways people contribute to the rescued horses at Eye of the Storm Equine Rescue is by donating tack and supplies. Over the years we've accumulated quite a collection of halters, riding boots and clothes, even saddles. After using what's needed, Eye of the Storm offers the rest for sale to the public as a way to raise money for the upkeep and care of the horses. This year the Pegasus Tack Shop is providing a booth for Eye of the Storm to sell used tack (English and Western) on Saturday, May 22 (rain date is Sunday, May 23). Pegasus Tack Shop is located at 429 Great Road in Acton. All proceeds at the booth go to Eye of the Storm Equine Rescue, a designated 170(b)(1)(a)vi, non profit organization for the prevention of cruelty to animals, under section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code.

Looking for a Truck Doctor

My old Ford pickup truck needs its own truck doctor. Any mechanic out there want to help her????

She's getting kind of squashy in the front end and needs a checkup.  We really rely on the old girl (named Big T for "big truck). She's tired, but still pretty awesome.

This needs to be volunteer work, as the economy is tough on us too. Perhaps in exchange for the best horse poop in town for your garden?

Coco the "stall potato"

Our wild little Coco pony has turned into quite the little stall potato. Thanks to her human friend Sylvia, she now allows us to touch her all over, stands quietly for hoof trimming, and jams her face against the gate to be caught first to come in for dinner.

Her naughty son Moon bugs her so much all day outside that she really appreciates getting away from him and into her own little space.

Last year at this time she was dragging a rope attached to her halter because that was the only way to catch her. Now we just hold up her halter and she puts her face right into it herself!

(read the story of Coco and Moon getting reunited.)

Making friends in muck boots

While standing in line at our wonderful, local farm stand (which is open year round), a fellow horseman working at the register commented on my boots. This happened after several days of torrential rain. I told him that after so many layers of clothing had gotten soaked through, I kept extra boots, clothing, and Xanax in strategic locations. Looking up I saw the two women standing in line behind me nodding their heads and laughing.

And people wonder how I make friends wherever I go....

The Wonder of Nightfall

Have you ever wondered what "night fall" really meant?

As  I looked at the sky one clear night I saw the deepest blackness on one side of the sky and beautiful blue on the other.

As I watched I feared that some horrible storm was coming. The black slowly overtook the blue and bright stars appeared in the blackness. I just witnessed the "night falling!"

Where have I been to have never noticed such a thing before?
