I just returned from an awesome ride, about 60 degrees,
clear sky, no dust and only a few mud spots. ?Saw 2 deer, but didn’t see the
bobcat.? Its days like today that make me
remember why I live here and put up with all the B.S.
Anyway, I have a 23 year old Quarter horse mare that looks
like a 15 year old. I am no expert on this, but the combo really works well for
me. ??I feed her bermuda grass
and ½ leaf of alfala the a.m.? In the p.m. she gets Bermuda grass with 1
pound of Manna Senor, one pound of bermuda
pellets, ½ pound of MaxieGlo (new less expensive version of NaturalGlo,
stabilized rice bran) and hoof and joint supplements. She has her teeth done by
an equine dentist each fall.
?This seems like a lot,
but Sierra has had several bad quarter cracks, but has never been lame or under
weight. ?She is worth her weight in gold
as she is my training horse who baby sits both human and equine youngsters.? I am so thankful we found her as she has made
many of my horse dreams come true. ?I
could not have taken on Lyric our 5 year old Arab mare with out Sierra.? Sierra has also taught my daughter many
things, not the least of which is love and patience. ?Our family is truly blessed by her presence
and every day I thank God for her.? I may
sound a bit far out here, but I will feed her whatever it takes to keep her
healthy, she deserves nothing less.

loafing days are over!
