This is Strawberry. We adopted her from a wonderful horse rescue "Blaze's Tribute" out of Jones, Oklahoma. She was part of a large group of horses that had been starved and mistreated. She has a little bit of an attitude, but we like to say that she's just "spirited". = ) She is one of the most beautiful things you will ever see when she runs.
Here is Strawberry letting Coco's baby kids climb on her - see, she's not all that mean. When Coco had her twins, Strawberry actually stood over the first born to protect and make sure none of the other animals bothered him. Since then, she tends to look after them and almost "babysit" while Coco takes a break.
You can see Big Prairie in the picture above on the right and at a later date in the picture down below. He is a colt we purchased at a local horse auction. He was in rough shape when we got him, but when he was pushed through the arena, his strength and spirit shined through the mud and the cuts. We are working with him and he is turning out to be a big beautiful horse. With summer, his nappy winter hair is gone, showing a shiny black coat. He should be at least 16hh when grown.
Okay, he may look a little scary in this picture, but he is actually a sweetheart. This is our llama - Indio. If you hum, he will come up and softly kiss you on the cheek.
Here he is again - not looking quite as scary.
These are four of our eight dogs. They are all EXCELLENT farm dogs! They will lay around and let chickens and ducks run around without ever chasing them.
This is Lily with her baby Lil Bill. They are part of our developing Saanan milk goat herd. So stay tuned for future goat milk products!
This is that same sweet looking baby Saanan pictured above. We felt we couldn't call him anything else but "Hell Boy". = )
This is 'Ol Spook. He is approximately 35 years old and living out his retirement on Shady Hill.
These are our peacocks. They are yearlings and the male is starting to develop long beautifully colored feathers.
