Desi loved Perrydale!

He was so good for all the obstacles. He has turned into the sweetest spotted partner. I can’t believe we are officially 100 days in! We have a special treat scheduled today, and I can’t wait to show you what I have planned for him!

He will be available at the auction!

“Lydia, wake up, there are wild horses…”

Best husband award goes to Josiah for not letting me sleep through this!

I was not expecting this lovely surprise to send us off on our spontaneous kayaking trip! I wasn’t expecting the meteor shower that night, either. It’s amazing what can happen when you break up your routine to do something new.

In this video you will see wild horses from the Warm Springs Indian Reservation off of the Deschutes river. Two horses of mine have come from that tribe, and it was encouraging to see a healthy, active, and colorful group of horses out on land with no fences as far as the eye can see.

There were several foals in this band, as well as juveniles, an old mare, a proud stallion keeping watch above, and what appeared to be a visiting bachelor testing the waters of capturing a mare.

It’s weird knowing I might see one of these horses in my barn someday. I’m grateful for the life I get to live and for the kismet moments that God arranges.

While my heart will always belong to the kind of Mustang with four legs, this blue beauty brought its own kind of magic. 💙My gratitude to Santiam Forks Farm for opening their breathtaking property and lending us their gorgeous Ford Mustang, creating the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable portrait session.

Can you believe this photo?! I can’t wait to see the rest! Desi will be available at auction in one month ❤️

I had the most amazing portrait session yesterday with Lydia Dedera’s Horse Training at the most picturesque farm. Lydia is gentling Desperado (Desi) for the Teens And Oregon Mustangs Challenge. Desi is an absolute gentleman. He was so sweet and stood perfectly for his portraits. He really enjoys scratches on his withers. He will be available for adoption at the challenge on August 31st.
