We have a new family member. Winona
was born on June 16th. Our herd consists of all 2 1/2 year olds with the exception
of baby Winona and Sir Donnelly, our senior member. All are in excellent health.
We prefer to supplement their feed with fruits and vegetables. (They love apples,
oranges and savor watermellon). The herd is all halter trained in a gentle fashion
-- when they are ready. We move forward at their pace so that there experience
with humans is all positive.

Baby likes to hang
out with the king of the herd, Sir Donnelly, an appendix quarter horse.
Due to coyotes, we introduced mom and baby back to the herd as soon as possible,
for their protection. Instantly, she was the sweatheart of the herd.

It's been a totally different experience watching
how the herd takes equal time watching over Winona and disciplining her
if necessary.

| If your desire is
for a life-time partner, one that has been spoiled, one that likes hot grub
for dinner, please contact us at Shangri-la,
and you're welcome to visit us at our ranch located in northern Colorado
near the Wyoming border. |
