Legendary’s Hot Summer is sizzling HOT! Out of our jack, Springlake Razmataz and our NMDA Champion jennet (Tennessee State Fair – 2009), Designer Donkey’s Macy Lee (Circle C Corona X Big Woods LN Miss Berri) . This girl is gorgeous with outstanding confirmation. She has a really wide chest, gorgeous straight legs, nice rounded rump, beautiful head and personality PLUS! She was born 30 days beyond her due date (a 13-month foal) and we were out-of-town the day she was born, therefore, we don’t have accurate birth height measurements. Thank you to Tennessee Equine Hospital for delivering our precious baby. The below photos are 4 days of age.

Summer is HOT!

Last summer, we had the cutest baby Miniature Donkey with personality PLUS! He loved to follow me around the yard and hold onto my pants. Well we submitted the below photo for a calendar on Miniature Donkeys and it was selected for one of the months. Legendary’s Buster Brown is now loved and owned by Jim and Jennifer Cline. Hmmm, I wonder if he follows them around the yard and holds onto their pants!

Dooley and Buster, two sweet and adorable Miniature Donkey geldings found paradise at the home of Jim and Jen Cline. They moved to the Cline’s home this year along with Dallas, a black and white Spotted Saddle Horse and a quarter Horse gelding. Below are some candid shots of Dooley and Buster from their IPhone (not bad quality). These photos bring a HUGE smile to my face knowing these two precious babies are so happy in their home. Thanks Jim and Jen!!!!!

In this picture Lucile looks so innocent, that is how she kills so many rolls of toilet paper, they never saw her coming!

Lucile is one of our two cats. Katrina went to the pound and fell in love with a cat. She called and asked if it was ok to bring the little boy cat home. Of course I said wait, I want to see what this animal looks like. My plan was if I give her time to think about it and she thinks I am coming over to give her a hard time she will just go home and forget all about it. Well, I showed up and I fell in love with a little girl cat.

That is how we left the pound with two cats instead of one. Linus the boy was to be hers and Lucy, the girl was to be mine. Surprise, the cats had different ideas. Long story short, Linus (the boy) is my cat and Lucy is now Lucille (the girl) and is Katrina’s cat.

Linus is a little lazy and a lot fat. His story at another time.

I have to admit that Lucille is the most remarkable animal. She has very expressionistic eyes. You can always

Katrina climbs the fence; Call 911!

By: Dick

Katrina is obviously a Tom Boy but there are times when her feminine side shines bright. I am certainly prejudiced but I think she is one of the most beautiful and sexy women I have ever met but she can get down and dig a ditch or get greasy working on a car, no problem.

You probably read the previous post about our recent adventure with Dixie and how serious it could have been. At the time I was playing with my cars and moving one from the garage to the shop to work on it and noticed Dixie was in the neighbor’s pasture. I wasn’t concerned at the time just ticked off she jumped the fence. She was happily grazing on their tall lush grass. I assumed it was another case of the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence and she simply bounded over an obstacle to get some food. Since Dixie is Katrina’s true love it was up to her to retrieve the mule. She thought the entire episode was very funny and couldn’t stop giggling. I on the other had, was very upset thinking this damn animal is going to jump that fence every time she doesn’t get what she wants to eat.

Well, Katrina stopped laughing long enough to start after Dixie. The first challenge was the fence. (more…)

Why Did the Mule Cross the Frence?

By: Katrina

Well, we had just seeded our pasture and put the horses and mule (Dixie) in a smaller yard to give the grass a chance to take hold and grow. I let the horses out of their yards to chew down some long grass in the backyard behind our house (not a pasture). They were all doing a pretty good job of being self powered lawnmowers.

I grabbed one horse’s halter and encouraged them to get closer to the house since there was longer and better grass for them to eat at that location. Well, as soon as I got the horses in the perfect location, Dick fired up one of his cars which spooked one horse and of course got everyone excited. All of a sudden, we had a herd running towards the barn.

There is a pathway between our detached garage and the fenced property line. This is the path the horses were running towards. It’s a narrow pathway and with four horses running through there at the same time, it was crowded. Well, Dixie was pushed towards the property line fence and felt she had no choice but to jump the fence. I watched in disbelief. (more…)
