By Christa Lesté-Lasserre, MA as published on TheHorse “Could be good, could be bad…” “For those of us who live with equines this study highlights something that we have known for quite some time…’how did he get out of the stall, how did he open the door to […]
“In this current climate of chaos and lack of moral fortitude it is extremely difficult to stay centered, on point and positive about anything, it seems. Election fatigue and fear for the future of this once great country is beset upon all of us and simply laughing at a story about goofy equine antics just might not be enough to snap us out of this funk on Feel Good Sunday, today. So with that being said, we are going to give you something with a little bit of substance to it, something that you can wrap your heart around and perhaps give you a little bit of hope during this most bizarre and unprecedented time.
This story, below, may not have an equine as the principle actor but it most assuredly speaks to the fact that wild animals (including wild horses and burros) are not ‘things’ that can be used and abused at the twisted and perverted discretion of humans (BLM). The reality of animals having the right to live wild and free in their native environments speaks to the very core of what Americans live and die for…freedom. The time for us to practice what we preach is perhaps lone overdue; let’s make a difference.” ~ R.T.
“Last week the videos of baby burros playing struck a happy chord so we were pressed to keep the ball rolling with another collection of feel good equine vids ensured to make you giggle. Personally, after watching the compilation it dawned on me that it was just another […]
“With the entire World suffering from an intensely serious and chronic ‘Stupid Plague’ what better way to gain a little relief and revitalize ourselves than by spending a little bit of time enjoying the magic and wonder of baby donkeys. From running about enjoying life just for the […]
“If you are lucky enough to live with horses and donkeys have you ever noted the softness that they exude when little, miniature (children) humans are about? Our herd just melts when tiny, two legged creatures are among them. It is always an event that endears me to […]
“Sorry gang, I don’t mean to demean or overshadow our earlier Feel Good Sunday installment but I just could not resist the urge to include the funniest moment that I had this week. Although this video, below, is a commercial it speaks to where a lot of us have been, MANY TIMES! I showed it to Terry and we mutually had a great laugh but she quickly sobered up and said, “‘t was a good marketing move not to highlight a woman.’ I replied with, ‘No comparison intended,’ with all of my fingers crossed behind my back!!!’ ” ~ R.T.

“Many Thanks to Jimmy Fallon and Kevin Bacon for not only writing but publicly performing the battle cry for Wild Horse Freedom Federation and Straight from the Horses Heart, we love ya guys!!!” ~ R.T.
By Rebecca Endicott as published on Little Things When I was a kid and would ride the yellow school bus in the mornings and afternoons, my dog would always walk me down the long driveway to keep an eye on me. In fact, lots of people have similar […]
