The unofficial word is that our trainer, Mark Burnette took 4th place in the 2008 Extreme Mustang Makeover in Fort Worth, Texas. No word on how much money his horse, Hoof Hearted brought at auction. I will post it here when I hear from Mark.
As a side note, we currently have three horses left that were trained by Mark, so you had better buy them while they are hot. Leroy, a bay ApHC leopard gelding, Zana, a sorrel AQHA mare and Heath, a red dun AQHA gelding have all had 30 days training with Mark Burnette. Joe, a Palomino gelding was also trained by Mark during the winter months and was not touched all Spring or Summer, he recently sold for $2500, he had not forgotten any of his training after sitting idle all of those months.

Videos
I got all of the videos of Mark Burnette and his Mustang, Hoof-Hearted, uploaded to YouTube.com. These were taken on the same day that they left for Fort Worth, Texas, for the 2008 Extreme Mustang Makeover. This was his last practice ride at home. The last video is of my Husband riding him.
The radio program did air this morning and Mark mentioned us as one of his sponsors and commented on the good horses that we have for sale.
You can see all of the videos here: My YouTube Channel. I currently have 34 videos there, so you will have to click the "see all" link under the videos listed on the first page.

Our First Casualty of 2008
We have only 5 mares bred this year and the first one due to foal was Jetta, our black ApHC mare. She was due to foal at the end of February or the first of March. Yesterday was January 19th and we certainly were not expecting any mares to foal on the coldest night of 2008 so far. I think it got down to 4°F here.
My husband went out to find a dead black leopard colt this morning, it was out of the sack and was clean, we don't know for sure what happened but assume that it was just premature and not viable. It was small and the mare had just started making an udder. By the look of it's feet, it never got up.
This may be the result of the quality of hay that we are feeding, a result of the drought this past summer, normally we would have had the mares separated and on good alfalfa before now but we just didn't have enough good hay to put them up as early as usual.
We are very disappointed because we have never gotten a black leopard from any of our own mares before. This mare has always had bays in the past.

The First Day Of 2008
Well, we have come to the end of the first day of the year, it snowed and the temperature dropped all day. Tomorrow is suppose to be even colder. The mud has all frozen and the ground is a lovely white. It was a nice day just to sit and look out the window.
My husband took care of all of the stock today, so I didn't have to go out. I really don't mind the cold, I actually prefer it but when it drops below 18 degrees, I am not so anxious to be out.
I worry that the animals don't have water and it will be difficult to get them water in the morning. Angel, my Great Pyrenees pup will be snuggled in with her goats tonight, she is well equipped for the weather and loves the cold but she is a heavy drinker, so we will have to get water for her very early in the morning or she will go looking for it herself and I don't want her wondering away from home.

Happy New Year!
2007 went out like a Lion, the wind was howling, it was raining and we even saw some lightning. After midnight the temperature started dropping and we started seeing a few snow flakes around 2:00 am.
It is snowing now and sticking to the ground, it is very cold. The mud isn't muddy anymore it is all frozen which makes it easier to walk on.
All of my chickens will have to be put in the goat shed and bedded down with straw. It was good that they got to be out in the sunshine all day yesterday.

New Year's Eve
This is it! The last day of the year, better practice writing 2008 on everything. I just noticed that I have a doctor's appointment in January 2007, I guess the girl that wrote out the card hasn't been practicing. It is a beautiful day for the last day of the year, nice and warm.
We are going to a neighbor's tonight for good food and to ring in the new year.
I have made a few resolutions, but none that involve food or lack of it. One is to add to this blog daily, so this blog will probably have a bunch of useless posts in it that detail my boring life. If you can bear with me until spring it might get exciting when our goats and horses start kidding and foaling. I may even post a few pictures along the way.
