New Baby Goaties, New Garden Fence and Major Hailstorm
Must be spring in Texas. Our goat, Dixie, had triplets. Donald, Daffy and Daisy are the cutest babies. Dixie has been a good mom except she keeps losing her babies in the pasture. Alicia and I were out until 9:30 one night finding Daisy and two days later Dixie lost Donald and Daffy. This time [...]
Horse Temperament: Is It Important to Temperament Type a Goat?
Horse temperament typing has become a way of life for me. Each one of my horses gets fed and managed as an individual with a diet based on his temperament and each is thriving with this approach. In the past however, my milk goats on the other hand just get pellets. I put out free [...]
Stuck in Weed Eater Hell
All I wanted to do was whack a few weeds at my gate. I had my weed eater tuned up, I made sure I had plenty of gas and extra string. The weed eater worked fine the day before but now it refused to start. I was stuck in weed eater hell! I checked the [...]
Do You Let God Dance Through You?
Have you ever wanted to be good at something but the harder you worked at it the worse you got? That’s me about dancing. I want to dance and I feel the music inside me but my body simply does not cooperate. I don’t have a great sense of rhythm and I don’t follow worth [...]

In the mind of an osteopath, any area where 2 or more structures come together is a joint and every joint must [...]
Nigubian(g pronounced as j) kids arrive!
I have been waiting for my Nubian doe, Dixie, to deliver for 6 weeks now. I got all excited when she first started to make a bag and then learned that first kidding goats start getting ready a long time before they are due. This is the opposite of maiden mares, who often don’t bag [...]
Holistic Horsemanship – Are you soft around your horse?
Don’t you love those little zingers you get from God. Here I am, not even through my first cup of coffee, having my morning meditation time with God and he zips in one of those zingers. With my horses I am always wanting them to be light and soft in their responses. I was asking [...]
