Calico Girl- Spirit of the Red Rock is the offspring of two horses pulled from the Red Rock herd management area by the BLM in 2004. The Good Springs fire left little for the wild horses to eat. Calico and her mom were adopted when she was three days old; now she's five years old. She was a gift to me. Her former owner called her Spirit, but I think Calico suits her better. Our goal is to be an endurance team. XP Rides here we come.

Moved Again
I'm pretty sure this will be the last time for a long time. I finally have a home where I can have Calico in my backyard and I am so pleased. It happened rather suddenly, but we found a nice place in the middle of L.V. on a half acre. Calico has her buddy Wishes and a new little friend, a mini named Rusty. I've set up the round pen in the middle and they can move all the way around the outside, at a lope if they like, and find shade under the trees throughout the day. It's the best I can do in terms of 'paddock paradise' on such a small property, but it's much better than standing in a 12 x 16 stall most of the day. Also, the half acre next door is vacant, and the owner said I can ride on it whenever I want to. I'd like to buy it from him, but that will have to come later. We love the new place. I really feel like it was built just for us. It's home.

All I can think is I wish I lived closer because I'd love all that manure for my garden. Happy for you and J. that you have your horses near.
