Breanna (mom) has been at the vet hospital since last Tuesday and hopefully will come home today. Baby girl was born Friday at the clinic and was only 16 pounds and 18". She came home yesterday and has to be pan fed her milk every 2 hours. This will be a Christmas to remember.

Reader Photo (And Local News!): WWU Equestrian Team

Tryouts for the 2009 WWU Equestrian Team were held at Cowgirl Cattle Co. on Sat, Sept 26th. The team will be comprised of 35 girls, from walk trot to open caliber, that will be competing in both english and western equitation. The team will be competing in IHSA events in the Northwest throughout the year, and then will hopefully sending girls to both regionals and nationals. This is a club sport at WWU, so there is little funding that comes from the college. There will be a great need for sponsors to help cover their practice costs and travel expenses. They will be doing a number of fundraisers throughout the year, but they offer some year long sponsorship options.

They also will be needing donations of good quality english and western tack. The team will be auctioning off a raffle colt that has been donated to the team, as well as having a silent auction. If you have anything you would be willing to donate to the silent auction, it would be much appreciated. These girls are some of the finest, and they are the future of our great equine industry. Anything you can do to help them along the way will be greatly appreciated! If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, or in donating tack, please contact me for more information! coastalequine@aol.comThanks!Allison TrimbleWWUET Coach

Reader Photo: Horses Down Under!

This week's photo is from Dianne Mortenson, who says:

I thought your readers might enjoy a few photos from Australia. I'm original from Australia, and I travel back every year or so. So last year I went back and based my training out of Kiama NSW Australia. Kiama is right on the coast, It was a thrill to see dolphins and whales while traveling from farm to farm to train. Of course I was always on the look out for spiders and Black snakes, they loved to slither into the round pen to warm up on the warm sand. I have many more story's from Downunder and heaps of pictures on my web site.

Reader Photo: The Danger of Leaving Halters On

A reader sent in this photo to help remind other horse owners to take their horses' halters off when they're left in the pasture...

Mark says: "We put Skipper and Cruzer in this paddock with a fence between them and the sheep. Minutes later, this is what we found. Skipper reached over the fence, picked him up and over a 4' fence...as you can see, Cruzer is thinking, 'what the heck is this?' It was good that we were there to get that ram off - he is about 140 pounds."

Our 98yr old neighbor Clare walked over with a sachel of homemade bread he had baked as he routinely does. Keeping a watchful eye out for his arrival, we spotted him  out in the field with "Chica" (AQHA 2008) our new filly. There is no age limit to the joy horses bring to humans.
