Pam's Wonderful Project

The Lido Fund, which the Horse of The America's Registry administers,provides assistance to help individual Colonial Spanish Horses who are in need. In the past the help has been used for short term hay supplies and to assist in transportation costs. Pam Yohn, one of our adult riders and member of the Board of the Gwaltney Frontier Farm, has designed these sturdy tote bags with a great picture of Lido and Stardust when she was a yearling. Proceeds from the sale of these bags go the the Lido Fund.

There are still a few of these bags left. The cost is only $25.00 or two for $40.00.

Christmas is coming. You know a lot of people who have a lot of stuff.

They need something to put that stuff in.

Send me a note. There are only a few left

Spicer Has Grown A Lot Since This Old Post From 2011

I Want to Ride In Geronimo's Cadillac

My daughter and her husband Jake grow and sell produce and eggs as Browder's Fresh Pickin's here in Tidewater. They like to do things as natural (and as efficiently) as possible. They have a chicken pen that has been idle over the summer and is over grown with weeds. It would be a bit of a job to hoe it clean.

Instead, this morning Amanda came over and picked up Spicer, my rare San Clemente Island billy goat, and delegated the task to him. Though we have a wide range of modern conveniences, we are without a goat transport system.

We had to improvise.

Spicer was looking good this morning riding through Smithfield on the back seat of a Lincoln Town Car. His only previous riding experience had been in a Durango, which demonstrates the adaptability and versatility of a fine Spanish goat.

Best Of Both Worlds

A mule takes much of what is good in his father, a donkey, and much of what is good in his mother, a horse and puts it all in one package.

Meet Belle, our brand new four year old molly mule. She is likely faster than her father and stronger and smarter than her mother.

She is going to be great to have around.

Red Feather Goes To School

Within the next few months  Linda Whittington Hursts; children's book based on the life of one of our Corollas, Red Feather will be available. It will be her third book dealing with the nearly extinct wild Colonial Spanish horses of Corolla.

She  cares about the horses and she speaks out. If you care about the horses, these books are a great way to kindle an interest in them  in generations to come.

The Best Understanding of Is Comes From Appreciating The Simple Beauty Of Was

Picked this potato bug mandolin up at an antique store yesterday. I think it is likely WWI era. It even had some gut strings on it.

Tomorrow the last known existing very high percentage breeding pair of Grand Canyon Colonial Spanish horses will arrive here.

The mandolin is joining our music program for much the same reason that the Grand Canyons are joining our breeding program.
