Weather indicators! The temperatures cooled enough for these two to climb the hill! Lots of low-elevation grazing right now during this hot spell. Bracklinn Phoebe and Willowtrail Star Lily.❤❤

Hello, Miss Speckle-Face! Willowtrail Star Lily is my first gray, so every day is new as she changes color. I remember meeting her father's half-sister, another gray, at this age, and she was similarly speckled!

My Fell Pony stallion Globetrotter Moth and I are so grateful to my brother and sister-in-law Tom and Anne-Marie for coming to visit. They decided that rather than tour the many local attractions in the Black Hills of South Dakota, they would instead spend their time on the ranch helping with projects. One of them was repairing the fence in Moth's grazing paddock that was damaged in last December's wind storm (beautiful repair job seen in the background!) Thank you! They also brought much needed moisture (they're from the Portland, Oregon area where rain is much more plentiful than here!) So a few weeks later, Moth's paddock has finally grown enough for him to use!

Here's the latest edition of my newsletter. I'm grateful to Jill Rabenstein for sharing her inspirational story about how the Banker Horses in this country shape her stewardship of Fell Ponies. And then there's a story about the importance of small herds in breed conservation. Enjoy!
