First, we'd like to congratulate two new adopters! This week brought adoptions for Ada and Velvet, two of our long-term residents. Both are young mares, and they have deserved their own special people for some time!
First to get to her new home was Ada. Ada is a dark bay, nearly black, Quarter Horse mare. She came from the feedlot in Yakima. She's a lovely horse, and a volunteer favorite for years.
Our second adopted horse this week was Velvet. You can look to previous entries and read about Velvet and the four fillies. All were rescued from the feedlot in Yakima as well, and their road to recovery was long and arduous. Velvet had issues with people touching her head and feet, and needed a very special person to work with her and help her recover from whatever past trauma she endured.
Last week, Lynne came to meet Velvet. She decided to adopt her, so this week, Jim and Sherry delivered Velvet to Redmond, Oregon, all the way on the other side of Mt. Hood.
Velvet loaded up just fine, and was content for the 140-mile drive. Here are some pictures of Velvet in her new home:

At the barn, things are also going well. All the regulars have been out and doing great things with the horses. Peanut Butter Boy is feeling better, and he's happy to be back out in the big field with his friends. All is well at the barn!
A note to volunteers:
Because of insurance reasons, we will no longer be able to have volunteers who are under 18 years old. It's impossible for the Hytyme representitives and boarders to monitor all activities and situations. Those who are under 18 can still come to Hytyme, but they must be taking lessons or working under Kassi's direct supervision. Her email is k-sessions@hotmail.com. Thanks for your understanding! More to come soon!
