Sessie out for a walk w/ Kayla!

Sessie had a very busy day on Sat. Feb 27, 2010! She was out in the arena for a run & a roll, & then towards the end of the day, Kayla & her Mom, Sandy, took her out of her pen & went for a walk!!! She's such a pretty girl! We got her in the sunshine for a body shot! She is doing pretty good, still on antibiotics, still has some fever off & on SO! we're not out of the woods, as they say, w/ her yet!

Sessie didn't want to interrupt her walk for more pictures!!!!

She is gaining weight, but as you can see, she has a ways to go yet!

Sessie's NOSE!!!!! Isn't it just the prettiest!!!!!

Sessie wants to THANK ALL the people who are helping her back to health & all the Support, Love, Prayers, & Good Thoughts, you all are sending her way!!!!

Lisa Chadwick's pics of the newborn filly!

I'm starting off with this pic, as it is such an awwwww.........moment. Mom & daughter together!
We just love to see them bonding! Tracey is touching the baby for the first time, & wiping her off, w/ a cloth she used on Mom first, so it as her scent on it! She was cold & shivering so we had to find a blanket, & try to dry her off some.

Tracey found a 'dog blanket' & that's what we have to use, until the one Bonnie ordered comes in!!! Steve is 'gathering up' baby, w/ Mom's supervision of course!

Well, they have the halter on, now for the blanket!

Oh Boy! Hang on Steve!!!! Ginger, you are being so....................GOOD!

Tracey is imprinting our little filly for the first time EVER! for both of them!
Steve always up for a little fun! Wonder if Tracey knew he was doin' that????
Okay......this next pic is why Lisa Chadwick is a professional photographer! She has THE EYE as they say!

Steve is still on 'BABY WATCH' for this prego mare, Mello! She's very interested in Ginger's baby & we're hoping it inspires her to have hers!!!

Now we see Billy, with tongue action goin' on!!! He's a T/B & has 'special needs' too! Like psych supplements!!!!!! Bonnie has taken him under her wing, & provides his medicine for him!
Wade made sure that Charley was NOT left out in all the picture taking & gave him a MOHAWK!!!THAT RIGHT THERE IS JUST TOO FUNNY!!!! Charley is a good sport & Wade did not have him wear that for too long!!!!

Lisa Chadwick's pics are signed Celtic Clicks Photography, & she shares them with Safe Haven Horse Rescue! AWESOME LADY! THANK YOU LISA!

Baby Girl's second day!

Bonnie called the barn phone & asked Steve to get a measurement on the 'newbie' for a waterproof, breathable blanket!!!!!! Here's Steve, saying come on little baby, you got to get up now!!! Come on Sweetie, get up, your Auntie Bonnie needs to know, how big you are so she can go SHOPPING!!!! "]

Baby Filly...decides to get up!!!! YEAH.........come on you can do it!!! (I've got MOM busy w/ TREATS!!!)

The Baby is up! & the tape measure is ready!!!!! I notice that her little halter is TIGHT! She's GROWN over night!!!!! OY VEY= RODEO!!!!!
So she measured 23" from the withers to the tail bone & now is being SOooo....GOOD for Steve! Oh Dang! Shoulda, kept my mouth shut!!!!!
Hang on to her Steve! Don't let go!!!!!!! YEEEHAWWWW............She actually was very good! Look at her little tail all tucked in!!!!! Ahhhhhhhh.....

Okay! Easy Baby Girl! Steve have you all fix up in a sec!
Steve gave COOKIES to Mom, Ginger, after all the 'fussing' w/ the baby was over!!!

I almost didn't include this pic! BUT, when you make it bigger, you can see little Baby girl.....asking ...."Is he done now MOM???" Sooooooooo..CUTE.............!

The blog is being a BRAT............"/
Well, guess that straightened it out!!!!! Hope she makes you SMILE! Will keep you all posted on her!

Tracey's pics of the newborn filly!

Baby Girl is kinda tall, & was a little confused as just where the milk 'jug' was!!!!! so she's trying Mom's flank! Tracey said that she just loves her little Appy eyes!!!!! VOILA! She found the right spot!!!! Nummer, nummers!

What a pretty face. It would have been nice if she would have had an Appy blanket! but we'll love her just as much anyway!!!

Ginger's pretty Face, & those Appy whites!!!!
Poor baby girl, she is only about three/four hours old in these pictures! She is a little fuzzy looking like, everyone else that showed up to see her!!! LOL!!!
Guess What..........I'm gonna do another blog w/ pics of her TODAY!!!!!! We'll be able to compare!!

GINGER HAS HER BABY GIRL!!!!

Ginger gave birth to a baby filly about 6am today, Wed. Feb 24, 2010! Steve was there to help if she needed it! & here's the Very First Pic of Her!!!!!! She's so cute!!!! Her legs are so long...that Linda R. says she could be half T/B! Steve had to help her find the teat this morning.

You can see Mello, in the background, & she is due next!!!! Gonna have babies coming out our ears!!! Awww....she is just a bundle of CUTE! &&&&&&..................

she's all ready a fiest!!! Look at her here tuckin' her butt to BUCK!! AGAIN!! OMG!!! that's cute! OK, after that little show of independence,,,,, Linda R. said that we better get a halter on her now!! We gave Ginger some breakfast, & went to get halters & lead ropes!
Tracey went in with Ginger, as she has worked very hard with her since she arrived at Safe Haven! Ginger can see that halter! & we can see the whites of those Appy eyes of hers!!!
Tracey went slowly so as not to spook Ginger, & avoiding a knocked down little baby! So baby had a drink & Ginger let Tracey closer!

Good Girl Ginger!!! Tracey is getting the halter on Ginger & we're Thankful, she is doing good!Baby girl is still having some breakfast!Nice pats & sweet words to Ginger after Tracey got the halter on her!!!
Now that we can control Mom, we can start to gather up the baby....

More pats, & kind words, to our new Mom........She so wants to please, & most often she does!

I was at Safe Haven to feed the horses this morning, & they were all saying are we gonna have Breakfast OR Brunch!!!! So at this point, I leave to 'get on it'!! So there is a whole series of pics that I missed & they will be on a blog tomorrow!!! Right after Tracey & Lisa send some to me!!!
You'll be able to see if there was a 'rodeo' to get the blanket on this pretty little package! LOL!!!
Such a FACE!!! So what should we Do about a name???????? Open for suggestions!!!!!

Bye for now,

Lydia & Romeo...........

Lydia, saw Lisa's cool new saddle pad w/ stirrups, & asked if she could ride SWEET Romeo, to try out the new equipment.........next thing Lyd knows.....Romeo is being a 'BRAT'!!!! & she loses her stirrup & almost loses her her balance! So ..................off to the round pen w/ a saddle they go!!!!!! They went UP............

They went DOWN.........CROW HOP!!!!!!

Romeo went.............. OKAYYYYYY! ALL RIGHT, ALL READY,!!!!!!!! YOU WIN, LYDIA! & STARTED TO BEHAVE HIMSELF!!!!

&&&& THEN........Lydia..reminded him of the good boy, he really is, & they did some real good work in the round pen!!!! Looking GOOD, Lydia! YOU too Romeo!!!! So after awhile in the round pen, they went back to the arena, & Romeo redeemed himself & they had some fun together!!! He's a very sweet horse & must have been 'feeling his oats' as they say!!!! It was very Nice weather on Sat., we were all feeling frisky!!!!
So as the day wound down,, it was time to feed & Lisa is checking on her boy, Romeo! I asked her, How do you call Romeo????? Lisa shows us!! She says; You just go Romeo, Romeo, where for art tho........ROMEO???????Safe Haven Horse Rescue is such a good place!!! We all have so much fun!!! & let me tell you! When Lydia was 'ridin' out' Romeo, she had lot's of support, & encouragements from Bonnie! Lydia has come such a long way w/ her riding......practice, practice, practice!!!! She is quite the rider these days.......& I am so very PROUD of her!!!!! SHE ROCKS!!!! & so do ALL THE SAFE HAVEN VOLUNTEERS!!!!!

Hope to see you & your family out to Safe Haven SOON!!!!!!
