    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

A new 4 legged addition!

Picked this little guy up yesterday! He's a 2 year old, and unbelieveably sweet....just look at those ice blue eyes!! We've been looking for another mini paint about this size to make a team with the guy I already have, and though his markingss aren't as similar to the other guy as I planned, I simply couldn't pass him up! You just don't find minis with the "War Bonnet" markings, and I fell in love instantly.....he's still sporting a very full winter coat, there's a lot less horse under all of that hair than you think!

The Amish family that does our cart training is going to be tickled pink with this guy! Now, to come up with a good name for him...and get the farrier out here.

Awww, he's gorgeous :) I'd love to see him teamed up and hitched to the cart, I bet he and your other paint will be a spectacular sight.
 
He is very cute!! There are people down the road from me that raise them, love to watch when they are out.
Dang, can't let the kids see this lol
 
Even the ol man melted when he went out to meet him this morning (he was at work when I got the little guy yesterday). This mini is so unbelieveably sweet...even with the other horses calling at him from waaaayyyyy over in the other pasture, he still seems to prefer human attention. Especially surprising since he hasn't been gelded, lol. (The horse that is...not the ol man. :rofl: )

Zoo tours run every 3rd Saturday, from 3 am to 4 am...donations are welcome. :D
 
Yeah Cat..your guy melted. but does he ever baby talk the Critters? I know I'm embarrassing Jeff but he will baby talk the Ratties and Geckos and Spiders.

I used to live on a Dairy Farm and that was the grandest time of my life. I still try and get to the "Farm Faires" now and then and when I see them milking the Cows I always say "I did that and it was SO much fun!"
...Boy do I miss the Farm life. Farms are the real Zoos, especially when there are Herpers on this Farm. lol
 
He'd deny it, but yeah, I think he talks baby talk to the critters more than I do, lol....and he's got little "pet names" for his favorites. It's just too funny.
 
He's adorable! Here's a picture of the rescue one at the sanctuary I'm doing an internship at next year. Notice the deformed feet.

Awwww.....has he been seen by a farrier at all??? I noticed that when I first looked at your other post featuring several of the animals there.

Poor guy.
 
Oh absolutely. Everyone there is totally vegan and they spend all their time finding humane farm vets and have farriers there once a month at least. They were just deformed, but I don't know if it was a birth defect or I think she had a severe case of foot rot from living in her own feces for so long.

Anyway, very sweet! Her best friend is the baby llama : )
