To start, we'd like to say thanks to our amazing Katie for dealing with the many bottles and cans we've had lying around for years! It was no easy feat--those bottles and cans were covered in years of slime and mold! However, now we'll have a new system with BottleDrop, and we'll have a green bag for collecting the bottles and cans. When it gets full, it can be turned in for cash. This should keep the pigeons away! What a great idea; thanks again, Katie!!

In very exciting and heart-warming horsey news, Tempest has made a new friend! For those of you who don't know her, Tempest is our blind appy mare. She's very closely bonded to Juliet, an older quarter horse. Both mares were on the feedlot in Yakima before getting to Hytyme. We've been worried about what will happen to Tempest if Juliet is no longer around, since Tempest is much more dependent on Juliet than the other way around. So, the other day, Jim noticed that Juliet was out grazing in the field, and Tempest was inside with Braveheart.

We're so happy that Tempest has made a new friend!

Also, in other very exciting news, Hytyme will be participating in the Eagle Creek Farm and Feed Customer Appreciation day on Saturday, September 24th!

Here's a link to the map: Eagle Creek Farm and Feed

They'll be having a raffle there to benefit three charities, and Hytyme is one!

We'll also be bringing one of our wonderfully adoptable horses, Spendy. Here's what her Dreamhorse ad says:

"Spendy is a sweet TB mare ready for a new home! This bay mare stands at about 16.1 hands tall and is about 11 years old. She is well started under saddle, having been ridden English and western. She walks, trots, canters and stops nicely and has even been over some small jumps. Spendy is easy to catch, tie, bathe, and with her feet. Intermediate rider recomended, adoption fee is $500."

So, we hope to see you there! It should be a great day. Stop by and say hello!
