Sun! Finally!
It was a glorious weekend out at the rescue. So far, this year has been totally weird, weather-wise. By mid-April, this part of Oregon usually has had 17 days over 60 degrees. We've had three so far. Things are looking up!
It was a very busy weekend for us. Many of the regular crowd was out. Michelle the Carrot Lady is feeling so much better, and she was here to give the horses their favorite treats. Kim and her daughters, Brooke and Vanessa, were out mucking stalls. Brittany and Logan stopped by to groom horses. Kari mucked stalls. Kassi was out to work with horses and show horses that were up for adoption. Of course, Sam and Katie were at the barn, being their usual amazing selves.
One of our long-time volunteers, Amelia, is coming back from college in Montana on May 10th. Amelia worked with Boss, the most troubled of the four fillies, and gained Boss's trust. Boss is stunted, and as a result of malnutrition and neglect, won't really grow much more. She's stunted a bit mentally, too, from whatever horrific past she endured. Thanks to Amelia, Boss has realized that people aren't all so bad. We're excited to see what the summer holds for Boss and Amelia!
As those of you who know Boss understand the importance of Amelia's hard work. On another blog, we'll share some more of Boss's history and progress. (This paragraph is also a bit of a hint about our mystery horse in the last post...!)
In other fun and exciting news, we have a Facebook page!!! Check it out!
Jodene put this wonderful page together for all our friends, and to keep them updated about what's happening at Hytyme. You can see some great pictures over there (including many of Boss!). You can also see lots of videos of life at Hytyme, and learn what some of our adopted equines are up to these days.
If you've got a Facebook profile--definitely "like" the Hytyme Equine Rescue page!
