Little Churchs Call Her Blessed (May 8, 2005)
Little Churchs An Angel Whispered (May 24, 2005)
Blessing arrived on Mother's Day!
Blessing takes "in your pocket" to a
whole new level. She's happiest
standing between our legs, or on my
fork while I'm mucking stalls. Her early
days' antics made it obvious she'd
need a firm hand, it's just so hard not to
laugh while I'm doing it. August 2006:
Blessing makes a terrific jogging
partner. Feb 2007: Blessing turns
everything into a toy. And if a gate or
door is open-she'll get through it. What
a clown! June 2007: finally 30"!!
On the
right we
have
Blessing
clipped
at 1 year!
Whisper was next. The pinto coloring was evident when just
her nose and hooves were visible. The resemblance to her
sire is shocking. Except for sharing a sire, there are no
similarities between the fillies. Whisper was shy and hesitant
for weeks, but with consistent love and patience she came to
love our attention. She's always poised, always a lady.
The folks on the miniature horse forum say she is a silver
bay tobiano with sabino roaning. Pretty fancy, huh?
June 2007--Whisper is 32".
12

These two are inseparable.
When I take one out of the
pasture for a lesson, the other
runs circles until they're
together again.

May 2006, first whole body clip.
Getting ready for a show!
July 2006--getting all prettied up for the July 4th
parade! The iffy rain forecast scared us from going;
little hooves don't do well on slippery pavement.
These pictures are included because,
well because I really like them! July 2006
We are very proud of our first foals. It was pretty good
beginners luck to get two fillies, one a silver buckskin, the
other a pinto. Their sire, Haligonian Moving Target, is a
Top Ten National Champion!
Maybe this
desensitizing
lesson
wasn't
needed?

No girls, this is
not the end!
2007--Blessing, Whisper
and Rosie in winter
jammies. Just a lazy day in
the sun. The three fillies
make a grand welcoming
committee for anyone
pulling in the driveway.
February 2008-- Whisper gets a kiss from Kennedy.
Blessing and Kennedy sure make a cute pair!
Blessing left for her new home in NJ on July 3, 2008.
