MoonShine Ranch

Today we had to give our last hugs and kisses to Baby Hamlet and his sweet mama “PB” (short for Peanut Butter:) as they went home to live in their own pasture with Big Daddy “J” (short for Jelly:). They came to us when Baby H was a few days old so that he could grow up safely in a barn his first few months of life in this wild and crazy world.🥰 What a privilege this time has been! These two are the sweetest donkeys and if I were an awful person I would have run away with them! 😂 But they have a wonderful family so instead we just had a good ol hug fest followed by tears and said good bye for now.

With the Kentucky Derby coming up, I got a call from a local school group asking if a few students could visit the ranch and talk with me about racehorses and the effects of racing on horses and their life when they’re done with their race career.
HOLY COW! Did someone tell them that I’ve studied this endlessly and I have a true LOVE/HATE relationship with the sport? (Basically I love watching it but I hate what I’ve learned about it, and no matter what anyone says, it isn’t always pretty) Anyway I was happy to share info with them so they could finish their group project and we had a GREAT day! Thanks for visiting!!

PS…IF I had to choose, I pick SO HAPPY for the WIN tomorrow!
