Pretty, Painted, & LEERY, New Arrivals!

Kisses & her 3 week old Filly arrived at Safe Haven on Tuesday, August 2nd. They were offered on Craig's List for $100.00, Maggie's Mom called her & told Maggie if she could find them a place to go, she would pay the $100.00 so the Untrained Brood Mare would not end up at the slaughter house. So, you can figure out the rest of the story!

Kisses is a Registered Homozygous Paint, she is quite leery of people, but we think she will come around after a whole bunch of FOOD, LOVE, & COOKIES!

The little filly is so cute, & she NEEDS a NAME! Got any suggestions?? The color on her ears, covers both ears but not the pole, so I'm wondering if she qualifies for being a Medicine Hat? I will be looking that up shortly.

What you see here is; The first step in the 'people are a good thing' process! We put some cookies in her feeder, as she will not come to take them from your hand. She Will some day soon tho! I'll be sure & let you know the Day she does! It's Amazing just how many horses we get in, that Don't know what Cookies, Apples & Carrots are!  

The little filly really liked the salt block with the selenium mineral in it! she was at that over & over again!

After all that Salt, she needed a Drink! These two will be out at Safe Haven for quite awhile, they are in the 'settleing' in stage, as Safe Haven always keeps the horses for a few weeks just to settle in, before they are evaluated as to what they know, & if they are sound, or if they have any issues, & just what they are trained for! If you have a couple of hours to spare, you are Welcomed to come & Volunteer at Safe Haven to help us take care of the horses! HORSES are the BEST THERAPY around! Hope to see you soon!
Bye for now,
Linda C.
