Just as a reminder to myself … it’s not always in the triple digits in Vacaville!
Rain Day in the Barn
Mouse checking out what’s going on in the barn on a very wet, dreary and rainy day - he’s definitely very curious. Everything was touched and all surfaces were cleared. Even our left over thanksgiving pumpkin was inspected. Plus a little nibble here and there was much appreciated!
Lead Line Time for Mouse
Carol came to visit today and met Mouse and Molly - we practiced walking nice and we all went for a walk around - they did great!
Molly and Mouse Relaxing
Loving their down time in the November sunshine!
Their winter fuzz is beginning to show :)
Bo and Belle Update
Happy ponies/ happy mom! So wonderful to see Bo and Belle doing so great in their forever home and looking so very heathy.
Calvin and Hobbes are Back
The boys came home to us - time to start over and find them another great family. We are always happy to welcome them back but for now it’s time for them to relax after their long trailer ride back to us.
Molly and the Green Ball
Not be out done by Mouse and his habit of exploring the world with his mouth (Molly’s more about her feet), she showed us today that she too could carry things around in her mouth. She was very cute and so proud of herself.
Checking in with Bodhi
Wow! He is one healthy and handsome little pony! So great to see him doing well with his new family.
Meeting Grace and Wellness Check
Today Sandy and I travelled up to meet Grace and also to be present for her first wellness check. Grace is a very sweet mare and so far is doing well with all the recent upheaval in her life. We are hoping she settles and begins to feel safe and cared for. At this point (due to hind end issues) she will be staying in our senior sanctuary for her remaining days.
A Lovely Picture of Grace
Already bonded with her caregiver, Grace comes forward for a handful of hay. I love this pic of her!
Bringing Grace to Our Sanctuary
Today was a big day for Grace and hopefully after this she will be able to relax and begin to enjoy her life again. She will be well cared for and loved. Many thanks to Christina and Melinda for hauling her safely.
Grace
Meet our new senior Grace. She came to us after the animal shelter in Orland had taken charge of her. She was found wandering with no one stepping forward to claim her or to offer her a home. Our BHR foster mom will be bringing her into her home. At this time we don’t know if Grace will be a permanent sanctuary member or if she will be available for adoption. Way too early to tell; we are just very happy to have her with us. Grace will be moving to our senior foster within the next few days. More to come!
Watching Out Over His Buddy
Instant buddies - Patriot and Mouse are the guys! But LuLu’s maternal instincts kick in every once in a while and she too checks in to make sure the little ones are ok.
Rain Gutters Go Up!
Big day for the barn today - we are getting brand new rain gutters before the winter storms come rolling in. There’s been a lot of work done to our little barn already but we still have a long way to go. A big thank you to Danny and Lucas for climbing up there and getting the job done. Next weekend it’s new gutters on the run side of the barn.
Grains for Patriot

Dinner Time for Molly and Mouse
The best time of the day! Other than breakfast of course!
Hay Delivery Day
Always a happy day!
Molly Enjoys the Shade Tree
During the very hot summers in Vacaville any bit shade is a luxury and much appreciated!
Kenny and Leann Come to Visit
A wonderful surprise today when Kenny and Leann came to visit. Not only did they get to check out our new barn and meet everyone but they also brought Leann’s Quad (and it’s blue!) so that I could move things more easily. I got a quick lesson and my top speed was less than 5 mph! Life on the edge!
Gravel and Mats for the first Shelter!
Kenny came out today to move gravel and place the mats in our first shelter. Things are definitely moving forward!
Looking good!
