It's a Mandy magical morning! It's hard to believe she's 18 months old already and she continues to be her late sire in every way. We did a bit of refresher groundwork training and wowsa! All I could do was reminisce about her sire and think of her black splash foals one day by Preacher (last pic)💙

Me and Preacher had our first training session at dawn today. We did some light round pen (join up) and desensitization to a rope being wrapped around his front/back legs, the dreaded plastic bag, and hissing from the 2 gallon fly spray monster that he accepts now with ease. A must for the TX flies! He progressed so quickly and joined up 3 times after one short session👏🏻😍 Impressive.

He's adjusting well to our crazy 110 heat index and it makes me happy to be working with a yearling c**t again. He's developing quite a trusting relationship already and the best is yet to come! 💙

Thank you everyone for his warm TX welcome!

I'm in love. Many thanks to Susan Motter of Prairie Hills Morgans for agreeing to let him come to Texas! I have no doubt this was not an easy decision. And "Preacher's" breeder, Holly Kiva Schlortfeldt too, of course! I was able to get some pictures before the rain started and we had some time together to bond. What a c**t!! He was 100% pre-occupied with showing off for the mares when he was turned out but he was quickly ignored LOL. I can't wait for the fun to begin but for now, I will drool and thank the Lord for this amazing blessing.

I can't figure out why tagged people never works on this page. My apologies.

He's here in perfect condition! Letting him rest and eat. More pics tomorrow!

Mining and it was not for gold!

For over 50 years there was once a small cattle barn in one of our pastures with a small shed on one end. Every couple of months I use a pole magnet that I sweep over the old building site. I usually come away with 3-4 nails every couple of months (over a 2 year period) so I try to stay on top of this, especially after heavy rain. This picture is what I got today sweeping the 20x20 area 😲 We've had a couple very hard rains in the last month. What's not shown are 6-8" pieces of old rusty barb wire that had been buried for many years. I assume a barb wire fence was once near this old building.

I recommend sweeping in and around the area if you know a building was once there. It's worth the magnet investment and time. I wonder how long I will have to keep doing this! 😩

Heart attack - also in this area I came millimeters away from a Copperhead bite. It was staying cool under the water trough and nearly nailed me when I was turning the trough over to empty it for cleaning. Assume a snake is there if you have venomous snakes!

I have not seen this before so I want to share ICYMI.

Given some recent needs to register Morgans instead of the breed losing them, this is a nice idea if anyone wants to donate.

Side note: Assuming 1500 or so DNA kits are done a year on submitted Registration Applications, it seems reasonable that this $50 fee could be negotiated lower. Maybe it has been already 🤷🏻‍♀️ Personally, if they could negotiate it lower to $45 for example, I'd be happy to pay the $50 so $5 could automagically go to "Dollars For DNA." $7500/year is a decent pot of money. I'm on the fence about it being used for geldings or the aged and unable to produce. All Morgans are valued and loved in the breed but with limited funds maybe this DNA money should be used for Morgans that can possibly go on to produce for the breed, if not already. 🤔 I like that the issue made it on the radar!

Announcement!📣 It's a very happy time here as we Selah-brate the newest addition arriving later this month. This is the incredibly well-bred (100% foundation) black splash c**t, Little Dreams Skyhawk. He's a yearling and Susan Motter has given him a great foundation for me to continue his training as he matures. 💙

When I began my search I had a few things very high on my list - quality, pedigree, young and black splash producing potential. I am ecstatic that he gives me all of that and then some! With the limited splash lines it was important to me to produce foals that don't share similar lines up close, and to also maintain exceptional quality. He checks the boxes on all my mares.

We feel very blessed and we're super excited to meet this lovely boy by the gorgeous Prairie Hill Armani. His pedigree is as Susan said so perfectly, "he goes back to the (foundation) well with some very old lines."

3 of my 5 girls are EE and I have very good odds to develop my splash program in black. He is Ee aa nSW1 W20W20. I haven't met him yet but the barn name "Preacher" is what I see. I'll know if it fits soon.

I'll be doing a photo shoot when he arrives and I can't wait to begin our journey together. Happy happy!

Many thanks to Prairie Hill Morgans!

I spent coffee time with the girls this morning! It's been too hot here! Here's a few candid shots of Kassie and Mandy after breakfast. Kassie is so faded she could be mistaken for buckskin 😂 Well, that's one way to get a buckskin filly!
