Lexy and her lessee love each other. I'm so excited for them. Eventually, the lessee will buy Lexy; which is great for everyone involved.
Which means I needed to make some other changes.
I have fought long and hard to keep Julie and Fae but I have nothing left. I have no more fight, no more ways to keep them.
So they are up for sale.
I know, I'm a horrible horse owner. I was stupid. What is more stupid is not being able to pay their bills and more importantly not able to pay my bills. I have narcolepsy and it is hard for me to function; let alone hold a full time job. My narcolepsy is getting worse and I cannot continue to own them and hope everything will magically get better.
If I can't feed them or put bedding in their stalls then I have no right to think I should keep owning them. That is stupid thing to believe in.
I'm thankful for the opportunity to own them and I will make sure that they find a good home.

I have two people coming to look at them this afternoon.

Update
The lovely horses in my life are doing well.
If only the good times lasted longer than they do.

Tuesday Morning Update
Where do I begin. How do I relate to my readers and convince them that helping me during this tough time will also help them.
Or maybe I should say that my readers' generosity will help keep the horses in my life happy. As well as help Fae grow big and strong.
The ultimate goal for Fae is the Olympics.
Which means a lot of time and lots of money.
Right now, I am trying to secure a job that can provide financial support for my long term Olympic goals. Short term my money situation is pretty bleak.
The horses don't have any grain.
They go through about 150 lb of grain a week (go through one bag every 2 1/2 days). Right now I am working 11-12 hours days with minimal results and so I have very little time to care for them. I want to provide for them but I am having trouble on the financial and time management front.
So if you have a dollar or two in your bank account (which I don't, actually) and you have any interest in seeing these horses stay with me please contribute to this fund.
It's not a huge amount but every bit helps and at some point in everyone's life they need help. I just hope that one day I get the opportunity to help out others like I've had so many people help me out.
Also please pass this along as the more people who read it the more responses we get. Facebook is inundated with "help this pet or help that one" and I'll admit I've grown numb to those photos. You do know me though, you know my struggles. Read my blog, read how I've gone through the ups and downs. The fears and the hopes of striving for this goal. You know who I am and you can come and see my horses in person if you want. I am not perfect, but I do love my horses and I only want what is best for them. So help the horses or help me or contribute to a better tomorrow or the restart of a dream.
I dream of a better future and I hope you do too.

Update On The Girls
I've been in a bit of a flux lately. Not sure if the horses were staying or going and it turns out the answer was both.
As in the moved from their old barn to a place much closer to me- a place that suits our needs much better. All three loaded and trailered like a dream. Fae was fantastic. Takes after her mom 100% and Lexy was great too.
The other great thing about the new place is that the three of them get turned out together. I was extremely nervous to put the three of them in one paddock so we turned them out in the ring which is huge. They immediately galloped around for a bit, Julie pinned her ears at Lexy and Lexy respected the warnings. Now Julie and Lexy are best buddies and Fae gets to do her own thing. Lexy acts like she was Julie's foal at one point and is now grown up. It is a very weird thing to watch... Julie mothers both of them but also lets them do what they want. Lexy has gotten more relaxed now that she is turned out with Julie. I'm sure they've communicated to each other and Julie has told Lexy that I'm a nice person- at least I hope so.
At any rate I lead the three of them together and they are fine. A perfect little herd.
Here is a photo I took this morning.
Here is the video of their first time out together. No bucking or biting, just a few ear twitches and glares.

Where we are now
In the past two months I went from having one horse to three. I quit my job and spent some time recuperating from several years of emotional strain. I also witnessed several of my dreams being fulfilled and I got to live the dream. For a few days at least.
Dreams need money to fuel them and I lack that money. I don't want to admit it but I have to. I made a huge mistake. I messed up and I have dragged too many people into this.
Why do I post this on here instead of on my other blog?
Because this is specifically about my horses.
I don't have any more grain for them and I have no money to buy more. I am out. I have hay but these guys need grain to fuel their bodies. Julie is producing milk, Fae is growing quickly and Lexy is putting on weight.
I will not be a hoarder and hold on to my animals when doing so would make their health go down hill.
I will not be that person on the news who is seen as a misinformed animal person who was too prideful to let go of their horses.
I love my horses and I have done whatever I could to keep them fat, happy and healthy.
I can no longer do that.
It is my mistake. I own that mistake. I took on too much and now my animals are paying the price.
My loss is the opportunity for someone or several people to buy several amazing animals.
Excellent broodmare and excellent under saddle horse. Three amazing gaits and a lovely personality. Clips, loads, trailers quietly. A dream horse that will do what ever you ask of her. An older mare that looks and acts half her age. Would be a fantastic broodmare. Seen above with her 2013 filly by Lord Cosmo.
Did I mention she has amazing bloodlines and that she is a registered Trakehner. They don't breed them like this anymore.
Price is firm at $3500
2013 Trakehner Chestnut filly out of Feinjuwel (by Kronjuwel) and by Lord Cosmo.
Are you looking for royalty and beauty and brains?
If so then you have found her. She is a miracle baby with the sweetest, most personable attitude I have ever met. This filly is something I wanted for a long time but unfortunately finances forces sale. She was born August 6th 2013 and will be weaned by spring 2013. She has beautiful movement and good bone structure. I can go on and on about her but the truth is one look and she'll steal your heart as well.
Priced at $12,000 she is a steal at this price. She will be worth five times that amount in a few years. She is a great investment opportunity and I would consider offering partnerships in co-ownership if you would rather own part of a horse but not have to deal with the day to day care.

GALEXY
A 2005 Blue Roan Medicine hat pinto mare this girl has lots of love to give. Originally I had planned to use her as a lesson horse/ training project but my time and budget do not allow for those plans. She came from Camelot and went through quarantine. She is up to date on deworming, teeth floating and hooves as well as shots. This girl is skittish and requires a patient hand. She has learned to trust me in the past two and half months I have owned her and she is a very sweet horse. She has been lunged and has had a saddle on but no riding training. She wants to please. This girl is really special and really deserves a special someone to take care of her.
I think she would best be suited as a companion horse as she has multiple (I mean multiple) lumps and bumps. It is most likely some form on equine cancer but do not let that scare you away. Equine cancer is different than human cancer and she has plenty of life left to live. She is a relatively easy keeper and loves being in a stall. She leads quietly. Loads and picks up her feet. She will do what ever you ask of her as long as you are quiet and gentle. This mare is a diamond in the rough looking for someone willing to polish her up real nice. She loves other horses and is extremely submissive. Not a mean bone in her body.
Ideally I would like to make back what I've put into her but I really want to find someone who is the right fit for her. She can be registered with the pinto association for less than $200. She would make a great broodmare. She loves my 2013 foal.
She could be a riding horse as she seems to enjoy working. She has three lovely gaits and moves like a horse twice her size. She would throw beautiful foals.
All offers will be considered
All horses are for immediate sale. Those interested in Feinjuwel and Fate's Jewel take note that Fae won't be ready to be weaned until February 2014. If someone was interested in both Feinjuwel and Fate's Jewel I would sell them together for $14,000. Alone Feinjuwel is $3500 and Fate's Juwel is $12,000. Will consider payment options as long as buyer can prove they have the funds for the long term care of these animals.
Feinjuwel and Fate's Jewel won't be able to leave where they are until February 2014. Month to month cost is to be split between buyer and seller.
Galexy is ready to leave at any time.
Videos of all three are available upon request.
Serious inquiries only.

Sharing Fae's Story
I want to share Fae's story.
To get it out there that all things are possible if you hope enough and have faith that things will work out.
Oh and if you get a little crazy sometimes and do things that are illogical.
Help me get it out. I just contacted Warmbloods Today to do an article for them to share Fae's story. So hopefully they'll get back to me and I'll be able to write something up.
Fan base (well, Fae's fan base) help me get her famous!
Who wants to see Fae be famous?
Let's make this a Disney story!!!!
Underdog, uncertainty and impossible odds!

Fate's Jewel is HERE!!!!
It's a Filly!!!!!
Chestnut with 4 white legs? Maybe I don't know it's hard to tell because she's so little and new and squirmy. Julie was in foal for 363 days. That's pretty much a year. The foal is healthy. Leggy!!! and doesn't know what to do about her legs. She's easily distracted and wants to stand up but just can't seem to figure it all out. Julie is very interested in her and talks to her all the time and freaks out if she can't see her. She makes me nervous because I'm afraid she is going to step on Fae but I just have to trust that Julie won't do that and that she'll learn how to be a good mom.
UPDATE (extended) 8/7/13
Fae has been alive for a day and a half and has gotten so much stronger. She had low blood serum (plasma/passive transfer of antibodies) levels and so my vet wanted to do a blood plasma transfer on her. We were able to get about 1/2 a liter into her. She was supposed to get a liter. I hope it is enough because we are not going to attempt to do that to her again. She's too little and I'm afraid she is going to break so I'd rather not scare her or teach her to distrust humans.
Julie is a fantastic mom. Obsessive most of the time. Makes Fae get up and eat often and she also will chase Fae around if she thinks Fae should eat. Julie is so funny. talks to Fae all the time and gets nervous if she can't see her.
I could write more about them. I love watching them interact and seeing Julie learn how to be a mom. Today my horse started to return wanting my attention as well as making sure Fae was ok. She's getting better about being a mom. Not nearly as nervous. She'll walk on Fae or almost step on her and I grit my teeth but Julie won't hurt Fae. She loves her too much and she's so happy she's a mom. I think she knows Fae is weak or at risk and that is why she is so focused on her. Julie is such a good mom.
here are some videos of Julie's foaling. Don't mind my voice. (if they load)

Foal Watch
So Julie is 20 days past her due date. She sat for about 3 weeks with no progression my vet finally suggested putting her on Equidone and it was a miracle drug. After three doses she developed a huge udder and there were lots of changes on the milk tests. Her whole body changed. Not sure if she had fescue toxicity or if being sick during some of her pregnancy gave her some issues but well not I'm sitting here at 4 AM watching the foal camera and doing foal watch. Never thought this day would come. It feels like an eternity since I decided to breed her and we went through her who pregnancy. It's been almost a year actually. 354 Days.
My vet wanted me to send her to Tufts to foal out but I just didn't have the money to do it and I was nervous about moving her. I'm a control freak and having her out of my reach was something I just wasn't comfortable with.
Ok random photo updates. Lexy is the Pinto. She's looking good. I brought her from quarantine to where Julie is boarded and oh you know just turned them out next to each other. I know not the brightest move. Lexy is doing great here at Willow Creek. She is really starting to open up and she is starting to trust more. She actually lets me catch her when it is time to come in. She screams at me because I bring Julie in first and Lexy thinks that I should bring her in first. She's better about being groomed. Still doesn't want to pick up her feet but that will get better with time. Now I just need to get them feet trimmed to a normal length.
Julie is the bay in the center paddock. She loves having buddies and shade. I'm so glad I got to move her from her old paddock to her new one.
I have to go check on Julie in a few minutes. Hope you liked the update.

Taking A Chance
Now this blog is supposed to be about my Trakehners and pursuing my goals with them.
I love the breed but more importantly I love horses.
I check out an auction site every week that lists horses available for purchase. I usually look at the pretty ones and hope that they find good home but then I one caught my eye. She was listed as a 4 yr old appaloosa looking thing. I had to have her. The pictures didn't show much but there was just something about her that made me go crazy and buy her.
So I bought her via the phone and then picked her up three days later and brought her to quarantine. Yes she was skinny and she had lumps all over her. She turned out to be a very dirty tovero grey and white paint/pinto. Ok, I thought to myself no big deal she's not as trained as I thought but you know what she has a lot of personality and seems like she just wants somewhere to feel safe. So going against all reason I continued to pour money into her.
My vet came on Monday (this past Monday) and took blood for some bloodwork. He also looked at her teeth and said she is somewhere between 8-11 years old. In addition to that he said she was probably a nurse mare. I won't go into detail about what a nurse mare is but know that it leaves a lot of foals orphaned in favor of more expensive foals. Then he saw her lumps and bumps and said that they are probably tumors. The bloodwork came back and one of the markers for lactate was out of normal range. Which means more tests.
Sometimes taking a chance yields good results. Like the job I took and deciding to live where I live. Sometimes taking a chance yields unfavorable results- when I was in middle school a stray cat came to my house and wouldn't leave. So after three days my parents said we could keep the cat. They took her to the vet, spent money on her and then two days afterwards she died on our kitchen floor. Her name was Diamond and she was a very sweet cat. My step-dad was annoyed that she croaked so soon after we put a lot of money into her but then he said something like "Well, maybe she needed a place to feel safe; a place where humans looked after her so that she could die in comfort."
Lexy is a sweet mare. She seems like she's had a rough go of life and she's young. She has so much ahead of her and yet maybe not much longer. Everyone loves her as soon as they meet her. She is a gentle soul. So maybe she doesn't have much time left on earth. Maybe I am her hospice care. Maybe I felt the urge to help her because no one else would.
I write this not because I want advice on what to do but because I want to share her story. I want to let you know that sometimes a creature just needs to know that there is good in the world. That they have a place where they can convalesce in peace and then leave this world knowing that they were loved. Even if it was for only a short time.
On the plus side.
She has gained weight in the week I've owned her. She seems like she loves everything about life now and if she only has a short time left here I'm going to do my best to help her live each day to its fullest and do whatever I can to help her heal. Who knows. Maybe a miracle will happen. Maybe she doesn't have cancer and maybe I'm worried for no reason but I have to prepare and accept that maybe I'm pouring a lot of money into a creature that is "a pit" so to speak. I should be worried and stressed because I do have two horses who need their bills paid but I know that I rescued Lexy for a reason and that the money for her care will come to me when I need it. I just have to have faith and trust that I am doing the right thing.
Here are some pictures
These photos of her eating the grass are a week after I bought her and regular meals and two baths....
Staying clean isn't her style
These photos in the stall are from the second day she was in CT
The pictures below are the day I got her from auction. She walked right on the trailer.

The next step in my career
So here's a question:
What does one do when your job is going well; everyone loves you and you enjoy what your doing but you aren't getting the training you want and then you find a job that sounds fantastic- a good stepping stone into the horse industry- the question do I stay or do I go?
It's not that it's a dead end here, where I'm at but I feel like I'm not growing as a rider and that I'm sacrificing my dreams (of competing etc) to be the coach and the trainer.
That saying "those who can't do teach" burns my ears and I want to do; I just never had the opportunity to do. I want to show and I want to be a top rider; but where I'm at right now that won't happen.
I have my horse (soon to be 2) and I have to think about and can I afford to move down to VA with two horses? One that is semi-retired and the other that won't be doing anything for several years...
On the plus side the farm is an active breeding facility and they do eventers and dressage and it sounds glorious.
I am a loyal person so I will not leave my job for now but I hope that when it is time for me to leave that that position down in VA is open and that I'd be able to work there.
I've always been career minded; I guess I need to weigh the options.

The Duchess is feeling better
First and foremost:
I was an idiot to breed Julie. I should have realized it was going to be way above my salary level. I think with my heart too much.
Side note:
I put Fae on allbreedpedigree which means she has to be born and live. We're worried about Fae being in distress/ the possibility of Julie aborting and I'm really really hoping we have a normal foaling in July and that all of my stress and worry is for nothing.
Julie is doing better. She's eating all of her grain but not much of her hay, luckily I have her on Hay stretcher and on Dengie so she is getting fiber. She's still picky about her food and I have to put a ton of corn oil on it for her to even think about eating her grain. I never thought a mare would be this ridiculous while being pregnant. I guess it comes with being the Duchess of the world and having me as her slave. Yes, I know where I stand in the world. I'm the one who makes sure her every whim is taken care of. I'm her herd and I guess that means she acts more human like than I'd like to admit.
She's doing better, that's the important thing. Now I just have to figure out how I'm going to afford this next vet visit and my rent and my loan bills and maybe even food for me...
My needs are last on the list. Hers are first.
I refer to Julie as the duchess because she is very poised as a horse and holds herself above everyone else. She isn't merely a princess or a queen but a stately mare who quietly rules the barn while she lets other horses think they have the power; but they don't.
I was an idiot to breed Julie. I should have realized it was going to be way above my salary level. I think with my heart too much.
Side note:
I put Fae on allbreedpedigree which means she has to be born and live. We're worried about Fae being in distress/ the possibility of Julie aborting and I'm really really hoping we have a normal foaling in July and that all of my stress and worry is for nothing.
Julie is doing better. She's eating all of her grain but not much of her hay, luckily I have her on Hay stretcher and on Dengie so she is getting fiber. She's still picky about her food and I have to put a ton of corn oil on it for her to even think about eating her grain. I never thought a mare would be this ridiculous while being pregnant.

Farm Name Ideas
So in my quest to achieve my dreams I need to come up with a farm name.
Julie is doing much better; I've spent way too much money that I really don't have, on her but she's doing better and she's happier. So I'm just waiting on the blood work to make sure she is still pregnant and that everything is normal. I still have more stuff I need to buy like shots for her and supplements to keep her well and healthy.
Random rants I know.
Anyways names for my future farm:
Dream-it Trakehners
Jeweled Trakehners
Fountain Farms
Serendipity Stables
Trakehners of Fate
And there's more I guess.
