Many things have happened since the last update of this blog which have resulted in the change of location. We are still in Loxahatchee, FL but now sharing 10 acres + of gorgeous real estate with an amateur horse rescue operation (IE: they don't do this with the soul intent of "flipping" their horses). We now have gorgeous pasture with access to miles of trails and only a quick trailer ride from Wellington. We also have two brand new additions to the herd; Asia who's a gorgeous fleabitten gray arabian mare and Tessa who's an 8 year old off the track TB mare. Both of them have come a long way and Tessa has started training as a jumper and being taught some lower level dressage for fun. Asia is being ridden by Kimmy and is available for adoption.

We will be showing art again at the Acreage Chilli Cook Off/Festival on April 25th and 26th where the public will have an opportunity to win a covetted commission slot for a personal model of their horse or the horse of their dreams. $5 a ticket and the winner will be drawn on Sunday night after the festivities are over. for $3 a ticket someone can bid on a rare piece of canvas work. I say rare because there's only a handful of canvas paintings done by me in the world. All proceeds go directly to the care of the horses.

We will also be seen out and about at upcoming shows this local show circuit season with Tessa, Wes, Jeze, and possibly even Dolly who's been taught bits and pieces of showmanship and "Halter" the past few months. With a bit of luck our thoughts on retraining her as a riding horse will pay off and her confidence in us will allow us to do this. We started her originally shortly after acquiring her and were deeply set back by a near fatal car accident. Time will tell but we're INCREDIBLY excited!

Hope everyone had a happy and safe Easter!
