Remember when I asked you to pray that Jewels does not have twins? This 2-minute video shows Kristel off to the equine vet with both Jewels (tobiano paint) and Maggie, who as I announced a couple of weeks ago, was bred and we have/had the ultrasound to prove it ➡️ Well, the unexpected happens sometimes.Continue reading “Off to the Vet!”

Painted Acres Fun
Watch the video to see what kind of “fun” Painted Acres is talking about. We are so excited!
More Tales from the Circle C Ranch
It’s official. My publisher picked up my Andrea Carter and More Tales from the Circle C Ranch. The book has an official cover now and an official release date: January 2025. However, I will get my copies of the book probably by Thanksgiving, which means I’ll have the books myself before Christmas. This new collectionContinue reading “More Tales from the Circle C Ranch”
Welcome, Maggie!
God blessed Painted Acres Ranch with a new mare! She’s about 14hh and has the best personality of them all. She was a gift (a registered AWR and APHA, high-end quarter horse is quite a gift! Great great great granddaughter of Lucky Bar and Three Bars.). Why was she gifted this sweet, gorgeous brood mare?Continue reading “Welcome, Maggie!”
Jem = Levi
I thought it would be fun to show you the “then and now” pictures of Jem Coulter from the new books. Levi on the cover of the new books is almost thirteen, Jem is actually 13 in Valley and Ocean (going on 14) but I figured it’s close enough. Here are the original photos IContinue reading “Jem = Levi”
New Colors for Goldtown
My publisher is redoing the covers–at long last!–and here are three of the finals. Notice anything different? If you guessed they have different colors, then you guessed right. I requested that the production team give each book in the series a different border and spine, and they agreed. So, whenever the next book goes intoContinue reading “New Colors for Goldtown”
Circle C Special Spots
Update! Sophie T. has sent her Circle C special spot to me. So, I figured it was time to completely post a new blog post so all could see. Thanks, and keep ’em coming. Send your photos to circlecadventures@gmail.com Also, a young artist (Kendi) shared her beautiful painting of Taffy and sent it to meContinue reading “Circle C Special Spots”
Kody and the Saddle Pad
It comes to all good horses eventually. They need to learn to carry a rider. Clearly, Dakota (at six months old) is not old enough to carry even the youngest rider, even though he is over 12 hands high already! However, it’s never too early to teach him that saddle pads are fun and interestingContinue reading “Kody and the Saddle Pad”
Look-a-like Fun Reminder
See more Photo Fridays >> Just a reminder. I am still accepting submissions for the Look-a-Like Round 3 contest (Circle C and Goldtown). I think that this time . . . instead of choosing a random winner, I will open it up as a “Readers’ Choice” vote. I haven’t had one of those for aContinue reading “Look-a-like Fun Reminder”
Rubicon and His Foals
Rubicon’s Moonlight Motion, Dakota’s sire, has been trained to lie down and let his former owner, Megan, rest on his back. Rube is a big stallion, 16hh, but he’s as gentle as a kitten. (Kristel is his new owner). Watch this fun video with Megan showing Rube off, and then Kristel beginning the first stepContinue reading “Rubicon and His Foals”
