"hey if we chest bump hard enough, we might become an OREO!"
Thanks for this posting William, you bring out so many rather obvious but I think much overlooked or unnoticed points that can make all the difference in the world. Thanks for your wisdom here, its very helpful. Still love the photo and the mare's d…

Profile Information
- About Me:
- I have loved horses all of my life. When I was 2, we couldnt afford a horse so I became one - traveled on all fours and robbed hairpeices from my mom for a tail. At age 11, I got my first horse - an amazing mare (blue roan
Appaloosa/QH cross named Lochi's Cin), we grew up together in Seattle area.
I moved to NYC half way through high school and was separated from horses for nearly 10 years. It was at Claremont (in NYC) that I found my next equine guide, an Appaloosa/TB cross named Spring Thaw. He became mine b/c he kept leaving riders in Central Park and coming back to barn through 4 city blocks and traffic by himself - which was a liability to them but a sign of super smarts to me...we have been together now for 12 years. Next came Dane, my 10yr old Lipizzan cross - who is my current competition horse in Dressage and Eventing (lower levels).

He started swelling on Thurs 12/17, local vet Dr. Fazio came out and found a puncture wound in the fatty pocket above the eye (don’t know name). He flushed it and gave iv antibiotics, ban-amine, and bute.
Dr. Fazio came Friday AM to check it and it was worse and pussing, he wasn’t willing to mess with it and said to get him to clinic for x-rays, etc.

PLEASE help to save Cloud's herd!!! We with voices owe these horses that!
Please help to save Cloud's herd in Montana. Roundups are scheduled.
New born foals get killed, their mothers mamed and they bunch stallions together and then they fight in a bloody mess to the death - dont let this happen! Its senseless - based on corruption and greed from suits who know NOTHING about horses. These horses' ancestors settled this country - they have earned the right in history/legacy to have a range atop some mountains to live in peace!!!

Horses as Guide Animals for the Blind... Radio Interview
Hi gang!
At Animal Matters Radio we had alot of fun talking to Janet Burleson (The Guide Horse Foundation) www.guidehorse.org.
And as a horse person I have to say that if I ever did lose my sight I would opt for the mini wonder seeing eye horses as my partner.
Not living in NYC though, they need at least a back yard! and TGHF gives each recipient a companion mini so that the seeing eye mini has a herd friend when not on duty.

- Do you mean you found an image of my art online? I do have a horse medicine wheel image here: http://www.spiritofhorse.com/store/store/comersus_viewitem.asp?idproduct=376 I have options for allowing the use of this image for workshops and advertising. Thanks! Kim

- Hi Christianna,
Thank you for your sweet comments about my art. I do feel that I am channeling the horse's spirit and my exploration of this is a joy and an honor. You mentioned posting on of my horse collages - do you mean one of my soul essence portraits? Thank you for asking and for your offer of a link. I appreciate the link but I actually don't allow free posting of my art because I sell my art as logos and advertising use, but I do have some wonderful free animated banners you can access on the bottom of my links page http://www.spiritofhorse.com/store/store/custom_pages.asp?id=79 I'll look into adding my ecards website banner there too - do you know about my ecards site www.spiritofhorsecards.com?
Neat that you grew up here : ) ! I come to upstate NY Rochester area frequently to visit my best friend there.
Thanks
Kim

- In response to a previous comment -- many foals, often only days or hours old are forced to run in the roundup and die...trampled to death and orphaned. The older, wiser horses are also taken, leaving the inexperienced ones without the knowledge of where the grazing and watering areas are and the survival skills needed to pass on for survival of the herd. I just wanted everyone to know what's going on, in case they didn't.
