Blind Cash, Then And Now
I was out taking photos this afternoon of our blind foal Cash for his new Web page (not up yet) and was struck by what a big boy he looks like now. The photo above shows the little tyke when he arrived back in early March at the age of 4 weeks. He was impossibly cute, not to mention tiny and cuddly. And today...
As you can see, he's actually looking like, well, a real horse! He's now 5-months old, drop-dead handsome, easy-going, and smart. (Look at that powerful Quarter Horse butt!) Although he's in the same pasture with Lena and Destiny, two of our blind mares, he spends most of the time cruising around by himself. He's full of self-confidence and apparently doesn't think he needs a couple of nanny-mares looking after him!

WHAT A HANDSOME GUY !

He did all that growing in three months? Wow! I think that says a lot for devotion, love & whatever you're feeding him! He looks very heathy & handsome. It sure is nice to see the photos together.
Hugs to all,
ginger, Tobias & the cat that came in the dog door

If a man comes to your front door and says he is conducting a survey And asks you to show him your bum, do not show him your bum. This is a scam. He only wants to see your bum. I wish I had got this yesterday. I feel so stupid and cheap. -The Bum http://www.widgetmate.com

These are two wonderful photos of handsome Cash! It will be fun to see his beautiful and muscular development as he becomes full grown.
His picture, in particular, gives me an even greater sense of how vital your work is and how blind horses can assume a wonderful and healthy quality of life.

It's hard to believe he was such a little cutie pie just a short time ago. Now, he looks like one of those proud Marlboro ad horses, especially with that gorgeous background - great shot!

He is SO sweet! What you do with these blind horses is truly wonderful. At Horses' Haven in Michigan, our blind horses are also out enjoying the summertime, with their blind and sighted companions. I wonder, often, about Brynn and Claude. How are they doing? Amazing to see sweet Willy go to a loving home...I had a beagle, so it's esp. touching to me.
