RRF dinner

Come join us Friday, September 11 for the annual Rainforest Restoration Foundation dinner and auction.

Erik drives Tuxedo in cart

Erik is learning to drive Tux in our old cart. Rhea marked out a driving arena (40 meters by 80 meters) in the middle pasture where Erik can practice circles and squares and the like. Fun!

Belize travel notes

We had a great trip to Belize with family.

I am posting a travelogue of Belize Forums. You can read my (Erik's) daily accounts at this link:

Enjoy, and please leave a comment.

On Earth Day, our mare "Baby" delivered a bay filly with assistance from Rhea, Erik and the boys. All are doing well.

Belize trip report

This is Erik and Rhea at the Cahal Pech resort in San Ignacio, Cayo district, Belize. We stopped for a drink and a view of the sun setting over the Belize river valley in January, 2009. If you want to read about our adventures, Erik posted a trip report on belizeforum.com. The direct link is http://www.belizeforum.com/belize/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=151467#Post151467
There have been over 2,000 views of our trip report, so it must be interesting to some people! If you read it, feel free to comment or ask question at the end.

Another photo of Rhea with Chistoso ("Chee" for short), seen here with "Baby" (AKA, "Did Not Frost" to APHA), getting large with Mateo's baby due April 11, 2009). Chee is napping in the warm December sun and very glad he now lives in Oklahoma!

Chistoso

Here is Rhea and our new baby, Chistoso. He came home this month and has fit in very well with our herd. His best friend is Tuxedo, the POA gelding. They play and play. When he wants to eat from the round bails, he does so next to Baby our QH brood mare as she is nice and never pushy. We'll keep you updated here about him over the winter.
