My Little Red Barn, Lori's new horse

Videos of our first ride!

There is a place in eastern Washington called The Feed Lot. It is a place where unwanted horses go that people don't want anymore. They come in all breeds & ages, young & old. Sometimes they are just sick or injured and the owners just don't want to deal with them. Sometimes really nice well bread horses end up here just because of the owners bad circumstances. From this Feed Lot they are shipped to slaughter houses in Canada & Mexico where the meat is then sold to markets around the world. However this feed lot is a bit different. The owner allows a volunteer group to come in each week, evaluate some of the horses and try to find either foster care or get them adopted. THIS is where Lady came from. 

Lady's feed lot name was Dinah. She arrived at the feed lot in December 2011. I actually saw her posting on the Rebel board, but didn't have the money and we were not set up yet for horses. (We had just moved in here) A sponsor paid her feed lot price and a foster home was found for her. Not long after that her foster caregiver got sick and she was moved to another foster home and re-posted on the Rebel board. At this point my neighbor wanted to buy the young Thoroughbred (Honey) that was given to me earlier this year. So we sort of did a trade, she paid for Lady but got Honey. Anyway, Lady is here now and I am soooooo happy with her!!! 

The reference in the videos to my Lacey horse, (for those who don't know) Lacey was the beach rental horse I use to ride. We had a rare and very strong bond. It broke my heart when I had to leave her to move to Texas. While in Texas the ranch and all the horses were sold. There will never be another Lacey, but I had hoped I could find another horse that could fill the void, and Lady is that horse!
