CONGRATULATIONS TO MARTINI & BRIA! Winners of November's photo contest with the theme of TRUST! Although his name is Martini, he believes his name is Good Bo...y! says Bria's mom, Marlo Schalesky. "From only having a halter on him 4 times in March and otherwise completely untrained, Marti can now be ridden (walk, trot, canter, circles, etc.) at liberty, bridleless, etc. He’s also learning tricks like lying down on command (in the picture) and bowing. He adores little kids and gives lessons for the little ones (as young as 4 years old - just like him!), and will do just about anything Bria asks. Smart, willing, kind, and loves to learn new things ... Marti is, after all, a bit of a nerd." "Bria got him in March from Marlene at Valley View Ranch Equine Rescue to enter a junior rescue horse competition (Bria was 14 at the time) which was then cancelled due to Covid. So we adopted Marti, who is the BEST HORSE EVER. He and Bria make quite a pair." DECEMBER'S PHOTO CONTEST: WE HAVE TWO THEMES! Holiday Costumes (closing date December 22), and Freestyle - any subject (closing date December 31). Free entry and $100 prize for each contest. This monthly photo contest is FREE to enter, with an award of $100 for the best photo of an adopted equine by an amateur photographer that matches the monthly theme.

Red flag alert coming again for Monday - Tuesday. All we can be thankful for is we haven't had a fire emergency yet. But with OC blowing up and our local fire h...istory I suggest each horse person tag a friend or contact for trailering and relocation support. The most valuable emergency number is for VCAS 8053884258 for horses and farm animals. Come hell or high water they will be the ones to get through to you. Put their number on speed dial. Of course my truck is gassed up ready to go for those in need as well, please don't hesitate to reach out for help. See more
