Many of you are no doubt heading out for this very special 250th Anniversary Fourth of July weekend, but Mr. M and I are not. No, sirree! (like Andi would say). We are sitting in the quiet Ponderosa pine forests of the Okanogan Highlands, enjoying the “NO FIREWORKS” for the mountains. Fireworks plus extremely dryContinue reading “🎆Happy 4th of July & What Am I? 🎇”

The Colt’s Name
Yeah, sorry but the name contest was cut a little short. If you didn’t get a chance to suggest a name, this is what happens when you wait until the last minute to submit anything around here. LOL Why? Because I received 87 suggestions and Kristel was impatient to name the colt. She was callingContinue reading “The Colt’s Name”
Day Two & Training
It’s fun when Kristel sends videos. Here is one I put together of the colt’s first day outside with Mama Jewels. She is so proud of her boy! Her tail is flagging and she trots right by last year’s foals (who are now yearlings: Knightley and Trissy). Enjoy this two-minute video and see Baby’s firstContinue reading “Day Two & Training”
Name the New . . . COLT!
Jewels foaled last night (June 26, 2026) and gave us a beautiful . . . COLT. We are laughing with embarrassment because the “nail” trick did not prove true, after all. It was accurate every time, and I admit, even I saw it go ’round and ’round last spring and assured myself that she wouldContinue reading “Name the New . . . COLT!”
Waiting Around for a Foal
Jewels is in active labor since this morning. I’m guessing a foal by tomorrow morning! I’ll send pictures and videos and I’ll start the foal naming contest! While I am waiting around, I came up with yet another Trouble in Tacoma book cover. (Well, actually, I’m creating a book trailer and I liked what IContinue reading “Waiting Around for a Foal”

Kody at Three Years Old
Remeber Kody? I do believe you guys named this one: Royale Dakota Moon, three years ago in March 2023. Kristel sold Kody at two years old, and a few days ago, she got an update about our little colt (gelding). He has been in training for a year and is jumping and getting ready forContinue reading “Kody at Three Years Old”
Old Foals & New Foals
Jewels is getting ready to foal! Year One she gave us a beautiful palomino, Jewels Taffy Kandy, but Taffy had to be put down for untreatable (and painful) laminitus. Year Two (last year) she gave us a lovely paint-type horse, Jewels Moonlit Treasure. Out of the eight color combination possibilities (based on Rubicon’s and Jewels’sContinue reading “Old Foals & New Foals”

I do have some Tales 7 and 8 books left and I could offer those. But here’s theContinue reading “Fan Fiction & Name the Foal!”
