Captain is one of our free leased horses.  When we went out to feed him today, he was heaving heavily.  We had this problem when he fist arrived in October, but he was doing so much better after we put him on some herbs.

When my husband had feed the horses yesterday, he didn't notice one bale was a little moldy.  I separated it out of the feed area and threw it to the ground.  The horses usually don't touch that hay because of the smell.  It was all gone today.  I guess Captain got hungray last night.

We gave him some more herb mixture and I prayed for him right there in the pasture.  I guess I probably gave the neighbors something to talk about.  They are pretty curious about us. 

It doesn't make sense that people would move from the city to a very rural area and buy a bunch of horses in order to help a bunch of kids they had never met before.  God has His plan and as long as we know we are on His path, that's what matters. 

Elle was looking a little better today.  She waited until I had put the hay out and then looked over at me to see if I was going to bring her the feed pan with her mixture.  Smart girl! 

Blaze is our orphaned horse.  He lost his mom when he was only a couple months old.  They think it was lightening.  He is quite timid.  He was following me around in the pasture today.  A very encouraging sign.  He has such a kind temperment.  I look forward to seeing which child the Lord will match him up with. 

It is interesting that each of the horses on the ranch have a purpose here.  They are each so different, but will reach kids with different troubles.
