Horses and the Rain

January 31, 2021 By ezarkos

Winter has finally come to Southern California, and it came with a few back-to-back rainstorms as well as some hail! Thankfully all of the horses have shelters and have been safe and dry.

This weekend while we had some sunny days we took advantage of the weather and groomed some of the horses. A few of the horses took advantage of the warmer weather to take a well-deserved nap!

Sue grooms Lou Dillon.
Freya was a good girl while she was being groomed.
Stetson gets his feet polished.

Ulysses photobombs in the background while Sue puts conditioner on Lou Dillons’ hooves.
Hope gets her face brushed.
Sapphire munches her hay while enjoying a grooming session.

After getting new shavings, Quixote took a long nap in them (you can see Lou Dillon taking a nap in the background as well!)
Rio also decided to take a mid-morning nap.
Brandye brushes the dirt out of Cindy Lou’s feathers.

After his nap, Quixote rolled in the arena and covered himself in mud.

Glenda Gets a Brand-New Coop (Thanks to Our Amazing Volunteers!)

August 28, 2025 By ezarkos

Glenda is one of the chickens at our ranch, and she had previously been living in a coop we built when we moved onto the property. The coop was sturdy enough to keep larger predators out, but unfortunately mice and rats were able to find their way inside. We did what we could to try to strengthen … [Read More...]
