We have a new member of the family! “Diego,” as we are calling him until he tells us his permanent name, is a 16-month old Friesian Percheron Paint cross.
 After I greeted him, I looked down in the grass:
We take that as a very good sign!
Diego is out with the geldings now learning the ropes. He will grow up in our green fields. He’ll be started using natural horsemanship principles. He’ll most likely enjoy the variety of dressage, eventing, trail riding, and medieval reenactments, with some horse shows thrown in. We look forward to posting his progress!

Congratulations are in order to Cappy from Albany, NY. Cappy is Zydeco Boogaloo’s proud new owner.
Boogie traveled “like a lady” to her new home. Her new name will be “Adrianna.” We can’t wait to hear updates!

Mark patrols CNN with fervor. This morning, he emailed me a link in disgust. Apparently, authorities raided the “Almost Heaven Kennel” in Emmaus, PA. They rescued 800-1000 animals from this nightmarish menagerie and puppy mill, including miniature horses. They also discovered 65 carcasses.
Our blood boils at human greed and cruelty even as we cheer on the officials who successfully rescued hundreds of animals from unimaginable conditions.  We deplore this operation that borrows from our name. We are absolutely dedicated to creating a “heavenly” experience for our horses and riders here in Wild, Wonderful West Virginia.
Almost Heaven Kennel may be located 180 miles away, but they are 180 degrees apart.
