"Small" World... (especially in the miniature horse business!)

We received an email today from Fitzpatrick Farms regarding one of our broodmares, Kentucky Sunshine (see right). Apparently they own Kentucky's sire, who is now a gelding but had sired three foals before and they are looking for them. It's always fun to connect with others in your "horse family", isn't it?

Btw, please be sure to give Miss Kentucky a break right here as she had JUST had a baby girl when this photo was taken -- you can even see a wet little leg off to the right side... She's a pretty, pretty lady! We've had 3 foals out of her (she's an absolute dream in the birthing process -- so easy), have sold 1 and still have the other 2...

On the left is a picture sent to us of McSperitt Cutter's Inspiration (aka "Mini-Me"), Kentucky's daddy, by Ashton Fitzpatrick of Fitzpatrick Farms. I definitely see the resemblance in those beautiful big doe eyes!

Brrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

It's been unusually cold here in the Mississippi, and I can assure you that we Southerners aren't used to it! Finally getting a chance to wear all those heavy winter clothes we so rarely have a need for...

Only a few issues with the horses -- frozen water troughs, some curious kids testing out the ice on the frozen pond -- but nothing major (fingers crossed). They may look unrecognizable compared to summertime, but I bet those fuzzy winter coats are finally being put to good use!

Please make sure your animals have a warm source of shelter during extreme cold weather!!! And pass the word along to friends & neighbors...

Minus Three...

SOLD THREE HORSES TODAY!!!
Very excited for both the buyers AND the horses for finding each other!
Of course it's always a bittersweet blessing to see them go...
