 "MOON"

MY DAUGHTER OLIVIA'S HORSE; MOON WAS DONATED TO PHOENIX RISING THE FALL OF 2006. SHE'S NOW 21 YRS OLD, AND WORTH HER WEIGHT IN GOLD! SHE WAS A CHAMPION IN HER DAY - UNTIL SHE DEVELOPED A VISION PROBLEM IN HER RIGHT EYE...AND NOW SHE'S 'RETIRED' HERE WITH HER OWN LITTLE GIRL TO LOVE AND CARE FOR HER.

Here are Olivia and Moon on a trail ride May 2008.

Here is Moon in her snazzy new bridle!

    

CHANTILLY LACE (a.k.a. "Eden") was a birthday present to me from my friend Linn of Epona Horse Rescue in Minden, NE. She was ransomed at the Loop City, NE auction, and will spend the rest of her life here at Phoenix Rising. This gorgeous buckskin mare is 18 yrs old; and has been a brood mare all her life. She's carrying a foal now, in fact...however I am happy to say that this will be her last one. She gets to retire from years of breeding...and learn how to be a spoiled, loved pet. She's quite distrustful of humans, but is slowly coming around. It makes my heart smile just to look at her...talk about EYE CANDY!

Eden had a FILLY!!!!!!!!!! 

Eve was born May 27th, 2008.

 

Meet EVE!!!!

Eden is so happy her tongue is sticking out...or is that from chasing Eve everywhere as she explores???

Here is Eve the day she was born.  Still a little wet, but it was raining that day!

 

Eve likes following around Becka!!!  She knows that the big girl knows where to go.

     

"Rico'' - is a 3 yr old purebred Arabian

Boarded for the Robert Maxwell Family, Rico will be a permanent resident of Phoenix Rising.

Rob and his father, Guy donate time and feed every month to Phoenix; one of my greatest blessings!

Here is a picture of Rico's first ride!  He had never been saddled or bridled before coming to Phoenix Rising and look at him now!

     

SAMANTHA'S FIRST HORSE, "SPIRIT" IS  NOW A (VERY PREGNANT!) 7 YR OLD MARE.

SPIRIT IS A REGISTERED PAINT....REALLY! LOL.

WE'VE HAD SPIRIT FOR FIVE YEARS ALREADY; SHE'S ONE OF THE ORIGINAL RESIDENTS OF PHOENIX RISING.

Spirit had a FILLY!!!!!!

Becka was born May 7, 2008.

Becka already knows how to wrap people around her little hoof!
