Great picture Priscilla! I hope everyone has a great holiday season, including our horses.

Whatever is Beautiful, Whatever is meaningful, Whatever brings you happiness...
May it be yours this Holiday Season and throughout the coming year.

From the Koehler Family(& Taz) to yours. Here's wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Joyous, Happy New Year.

Stacey,
I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I can honestly say, I know exactly what you are going through, I lost my mom unexpectedly a few years ago. If you ever need to talk, please call me my home # is 830-303-8283. There is nothing like talking to someone who has been where you are right now. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Priscilla

Stacey,
please accept our condolences on the passing of your mother, we will keep you and your family in our prayers. I know you must be deeply devastated. I know if you are like me, you find comfort in your horses, they seem to understand us and know what we need. All of these tough times you are coming through are only to make you stonger, just keep your faith in God and all will be for His purpose. I know it will be a tough season to go through without her and I know you will miss her, again, I'm sorry for your loss. If there is anything you need, please let us know....

With heavy regret Rio Gato and myself did not get to go to the Women Luv Horses due to my mother passing away yesterday without any notice. our family is having a hard time with this due to no warning not that it makes it any easier. Rio Gato is doing well and coming along since the last blog we did. we did learn that some anonymous person sent an email to blm stating that my horses were not cared for and fences were barb wire and falling down, and the horses is stalls had no windows to look out. (there are grates on each side of the doors), also i had too many horses on 3 acres, which if any of you know i have 10-12 acres at my place. i now am being checked up on by blm, which is fine. my horses are my greatest pride and have been for years. i would not put the time and energy in to 2 mustangs and my other projects, along with clients horses if i did not care about my business and horses. i will blog again when i can. thank you to all of my sponsors and friends for the support you have given. god bless.

You know, Priscilla, I think that when any of us do not "ask" a horse to do something, it's only because of our inabilities, not theirs! With time as Kirstin continues to develop her bond with Taz and gets the confidence in herself, she will do amazing things! I really believe that of her, she's such an awesome young lady....I'm so glad everything is going well for her. We are pretty much in the "winter rut"! It gets dark too early for us to do anything! I'm attaching a picture of my 4 year old mustang that I put socks on his ears to see if it would bother him.....the photo speaks for itself!

Kirstin announces Thanksgiving morning that she is going to ride Taz bareback and without reins. She wasn't quite brave enough to remove the bridle, but she did remove the reins. These 2 make such an amazing team.
