HOOFBEAT
By Dorothy Rogers
The tarantulas are on the drive in to the
ranch again this afternoon. They insist that
there will be either rain or fog within
3 days. Yes, I know that this is often
thought of as their breeding season,
but it never ceases to amaze me when
it comes to their predictions. The ants
also seem to be out enforce.
How often do we pay attention to
the signs before us? The Lord gave us
many signs as recorded in the Bible,
yet we often don’t notice or ignore
them. Blessed.
The Horse and Man
Foundation
Thanks go to HorseandMan.com
and a caring workman for alerting
authorities and setting up a fund to aid
two emaciated horses known as “Bonnie”
and “Clyde.” The senior Paint horses
(not from this area) were seized and
are being supervised by Sound Equine
Options. The two horses are on the
UC Davis’ re-feeding protocol. “Clyde”
Patty Knudson
marked a little over a 1 on the Henneke
Scale (measures body mass) and “Bonnie”
slightly better.
I know that there are endless open
hands asking for donations at this time
of year. The Horse and Man Foundation
donations are 100% tax deductible.
The horses can’t give back, but
I know that they will be grateful
to any who help. You’ll know you
helped to right a wrong and so will
the Lord. Thinking about making
a donation? Need more information?
Go to: horseandman.
com Perhaps make this gesture in
memory of a dear riding or work
partner.

Sharing your experience and

have a positive impact for the rest
