Bad Camera!

Ok, so I was going to take pictures of the new filly i have. I got a suggestion of calling her Raven, so i started to call her that. My camera' battery died on me! What is up with that? i only used this last set a few times, turned off the camera and let it sit for about 3 weeks. Turned it on last night and it said batteries are dead! Come on! Tick me off! So I will get batteries tonight and then take more pictures. Trouble is - i will be home late and now that its getting darker sooner, i may not get good pictures or any at all if it is dark! So pictures will come, just later.
How about it getting colder now? Dont we get alittle bit of 60's before going into the 40's? I am still in my shorts and a T-Shirt in the mornings because I am moving around and I dont get all that cold.
I went in with the new filly last night. She loves her grain and i took out the pail from her eating it and she followed me - alittle bit closer than I would like, since I dont know or trust her yet. She is an eater, for sure! She did take grain out of the pail with me holding it last night and this morning. I also gave her pieces of apple and she liked those too. Wasnt too sure of them, but she liked them. She also turned her butt towards me this morning so I had to get after her about that. Have to nip that in the bud right away!
I got a nice donation from a lady named Nancy from Washington yesterday. She said that a couple who got married in Las Vegas asked that donations to horse rescue groups be made in their names in lieu of wedding gifts. What a nice idea! i got to 'meet' Nancy via email. I looked on the internet and put up Second Chance Horse Rescue and it came up with a few. I think she probably wanted to give to the one who is in Washington, but she was nice and wasnt disappointed in giving to me after she learned I am in Wisconsin! That was so very nice of her. Thank you Nancy!
October 25, Sunday will be a trick or treat fund raiser based at Saddle Ridge Stables in Oregon for my rescue. You can go to a few of the stables and also to some horse homes to get candy all dressed up with you and your horse. All proceeds will be donated to my rescue. Will help with my hay bill! So there will be a fee to participate and then we will go out to the places, meet back at Saddle Ridge and judge for best costume and most candy and one raffle. We have some nice prizes to give out! Hoping for certificates from Dover, Schneiders and Mounds! I also have a Breyers horse figure to give out as well! Should be so much fun. So please contact me if you want to participate! The place is big enough to bring in your trailers and horses if you dont live near by. We will start at 1pm so it will be light enough. We dont want to take horses out in the dark!
I am also planning a big fund raiser for June 2010. I hope to have it at a special place! We will need volunteers to help out so please let me know if you can help with this! I will know more details after we get together this weekend to brainstorm ideas for this event. I want more than just horse owners to come out. It will be geared for families with kids who dont normally get to be around horses. We will have food, drinks, a band, face painting, horse rides and a bigger event in the arena for horses with special talents! We will also have vets to give talks and also have correct ways in grooming your horse, other basic classes as well. lots of ideas! Should be so much fun. So that is my update for the day! Have a great one and hug your horses!
