Happy Birthday, Miracle Update

One of our residents had a birthday yesterday. MyLight celebrated her 20th birthday on Monday! The birthday girl had lovely weather for her celebrations, about 65 and partly sunny. She enjoyed some extra treats, including the always popular Mrs. Pastures cookies. She was hoping she could have 20, one for each year, but we said no!

Happy Birthday MyLight!

For those of you who have continued to ask about Miracle's progress we are happy to report that she is doing well! Lori at Sunkissed Acres said that every now and then Miracle needs a little bit of help getting up, but most of the time she gets up and down on her own. Apparently when she is up she is remembering that being a baby horse is supposed to be fun! She runs, bucks, leaps and spins until she wears herself out and has to go down for awhile. Then she gets up and goes right back to playing. I've seen a short video clip of her trotting and she was a surprisingly cute mover. Her gruesome chest wound continues to heal nicely and she has a wonderful appetite.


The best news about Miracle is we have been APPROVED as her new home!! When she is ready to make the move Miracle will be making her home with us. We are very excited and cannot wait to meet the little princess sometime in the not too distant future! In my excitement I've already ordered her a new leather halter from Quillin's, complete with "MIRACLE" nameplate. I look forward to the day when I get to put it on her cute little head.
