This is a friend of mine who is a wonderful horse advocate/rescuer. This is the story of Summer Brennan {Click here} and her mustang Amado.... enjoy.

The Safeguard American Food Export Act, just introduced into congress may save the horses. Please go to facebook and go to Oklahoman's Against Horse Slaughter 2012 and Beyond, there is a post with a link to a petition, and send an email to your Washington Representatives. I can't get my links to work here for some reason. Imperative that you call your representatives in Washington, tell them you want them to support HR 1094 /S.541 Safeguard Act, and to stop using your tax dollars to fund horse slaughter. They are moving ahead with things at this point in Oklahoma, a meat company has just applied for USDA approval to slaughter horses. Big Ag rules here and the legislators pander to the cattlemen. The cattlemen are behind the horse slaughter bills here, so many are boycotting beef. Cattle ranchers are also the reason the USDA spends 100 million dollars a year to kill wildlife. Some of their hired killers are quite abusive. I know politics is not fun but the word has to spread...

Hello all ! I don't know how many of you know that I am from and in Oklahoma. Our {crooked} legislators have decided to force horse slaughter on us. We do not want it, but we are having a hard time getting the word out. Our media here is, well I suspect been told to keep quiet about all of it. So we - Oklahoman's Against Horse Slaughter {on Facebook} are battling. I have provided a link here if you want to help. We can get great exposure on this if we get enough "up" votes. Please visit the link, register, which is super quick, email & password - done.... and hit the "UP" arrow on the left of the text box. Then sign the petition, you're done ! Visit us on Facebook to become educated about the subject, because you can help even if you don't live here. Help us stop this unnecessary evil. Thank you !!!!!

Sunday I hopped on Indi for her to teach me a lesson, I mean to ride her for a little while. I didn't put on my helmet, which is rare, even though we usually have an uneventful experience. The back of Indi's pasture is wooded and I don't know what kind of horse eating monster was loose in the woods, but she was not going anywhere near them. Blowing , snorting, jumpy, not paying attention , not stopping when asked, turning and leaving without being asked ..... I finally had to get off, do some ground work with her and show her that the woods were safe and that what I say still goes .... I told her she could take most anything that came out of the woods. She was unimpressed and proceeded to forget about personal space and leading manners. Whirling, bumping, pulling.... more ground work until she settled down. I rode again for a few minutes to reassert my Alpha mare status. Then I gave her the evening hay. That was the answer to everything, the monster apparently slinks ba...

Now called "Tribal Horses" my new designs will start their life in my Zazzle shop and work their way around from there. Shown here is the "Tribal Mustang." Look for the dagger, hearts, and the word "Wild" worked into the design. Do you like black and white art or do you prefer color ? I think I will add a red heart here and there with a touch of turquoise on the next one. This is why creating art never stops....those little trouble making words " I think I will....."

I decided to make definitive goals for 2013. Or maybe they are a bit more like things I want to find in the coming year...I need one of them, hope for the other and the third I can work around because I am fine on my own. In no certain order they are Aventure, Love and Money. I'll let you know how things turn out.... Did you make special goals or have ideas of what you seek to find this year ? "HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE !!! "

We are having a white Christmas this year, which is pretty, but it cancelled my plans so I am home with just my furry family. I hope your day is all you want it to be. I am looking forward to the New Year and I have plans to be more active on my blogs this coming year.... so we will catch up soon ! Merry Christmas !!!!
