Spending a day w/ Linda R. & Safe Haven

Last Friday, Sept. 4th 2009, I went w/ Linda Richards as she did a few 'chores' for Safe Horse Rescue. We had to take Grandpa Hank & Sylvester to there new 'foster' home in Red Bluff where Barbie lives. We had to deliver Micah to his new 'foster' home & then pick up a surprise! Here is Hank & Sylvester going into the pasture..............
Here is beautiful Barbie in all her 'bling' Look at how shiny & plump this "Diva" is! She was sharing her 'place w/ our old horse Cody, but the sad news is that Cody had to be put down as his knee wasn't working anymore & he just couldn't go on that way:( He will be missed very much. So.....Barbie told Barbara (her foster Mom) that she would like to have some company to share the pasture with!........ & Barbara called Linda R. to see who we could send her way, & they decided to send G. Hank & his buddy Sylvester. What lucky, lucky boys those two are!


Barbie decided to show Hank the whole pasture & led him to back gate, & then they both came back!


In the meantime, Sylvester thought that the baby goat was his long lost pal, & for a minute we thought he was gonna go thru the fence!!!!! That was a hold your breath moment! He was more eager than this pic shows......& for awhile he was 'charging' up & down the fence, looking for that little goat!!!!!! He was so focused on his task, that he was not paying any attention to any thing or anybody, so I found myself hugging the telephone pole that was in the pasture (for dear life) waiting for him to settle down!!! That, he did, & here, is just lookin' around!



After the whole 'baby goat' thing, Hank & Sylvester decided to investigate the other side of the pasture & off they go!






This is Barbara's caretaker & his baby goat! He gave me a bunch of assorted peppers! Very nice!







Now Sylvester is just watchin' that baby goat!






Here's a close up of the baby goat!!!!!!!!!! Really cute!







We stayed until the 'boys' were comfy enough to check out the grass :) & then we continued on our way........We left Red Bluff & headed north to Anderson.......next stop......bringing Micah to Theresa........for Carley :]










Micah is meeting Theresa Dearman.........Dearman Pump.......for all your water pumping needs! They have been a very big sponsor for our Playday event!











Theresa thinks Micah is soooo handsome!






We opened the gate to the pasture........................ & off he went!!!! Nice big ole pasture & there is a pony out there for company! Micah pretty much ignored the little pony but a few days later they were hanging out together. Micah is in the pasture behind Bob's Market, where I work :]
When I showed up for work, on Sun. My boss Sam said that he really liked Micah too!









Now that we had delivered Micah ........we were on our way again........this time to pick up the surprises!!!!!!!!!!







And here they are!!! Not these two, they are just some of their buddies.













Here's our new friends.......Petey, the light colored one & Betty, the dark one. They are very sweet, & it only took a little while to get them in the trailer!




So we arrive back at the ranch & Linda walked the llamas thru all the horses! Just so the horses would know what was up!








Jimmy is quite curious & was gonna come real close! Cherokee in the back was certainly alert!
















I chose this pic, because Gracie has her head hanging outside her pen as if to say 'are you kidding me'!!!!!















Addy is right up to the fence lookin' at the llamas, but little Song took off for the very back of her pen!!!!!! She has an alley way behind her pen & she going to stay there. Song is the paint.

Zipper & DeeDee are watching too!
After walking the llamas we put them in the arena for the night & it was time to feed everybody!















This the vehicle we feed with & it is called The Zoom Zoom! It's loaded w/ 3 bales of hay all the mush buckets (on both sides) & then the 'dry buckets' in the front.














Also a few buckets of grain on top too.







So after we finished feeding & watering the horses, this is what we look for; HEADS DOWN & BUTTS UP!

































Cuz that means everybody is eating & no one is sick.........whoo hoo.......






So, it was 10am when we started this day & it was well after six when we finished up all the chores! Quite the full day wouldn't say? Oh yeah, after we left Micah, we went & picked up 25 bags of Alfalfa pellets too! This is just one day in the life of Linda Richards, she is on the go seven days a week!

Bye for now,
Linda C.
