FergusonK's journal - Goodbye Java Jewel.

[Ferguson K]

Back in the days when everything I put on her was orange:

She was dirty:

Here's a few more. I've had this mare almost 20 years we have a few pictures together.

We were babies!

Then my other horse I guess I haven't spoken much of, is Java. Java is a retired thoroughbred who won a pretty penny on the race track then got dumped out when he blew out his shoulder.

He's good for light riding or the occasional trail but he's not sound for very long when you do ride him. Mostly he's just an expensive pasture pet.

I'm sure I have more pictures of him somewhere but he's John's horse so I don't coddle him.

Here's one of me trying to get him tacked up so I could ride him. He's a monster.

Java when we got him:

Found some pictures of Java and John. The two giants go well together!

Between the best ears on the planet, and the best view in the world.

I love love love these pics !

She's who I refer to as the love of my life.

When she eventually passes, does John get elevated to first place?

Love all the pictures!

great pictures kiddo. mama reminds me so much of my old arab mare abby. she and I traveled hundreds of miles together and I have taken hundreds of pictures from between her ears. on one level sad to see your goats go but on the other level I so totally understand making things easier for yourself and the upcoming move.

Anyone been in contact with Kate?? Been MIA for 6 weeks. I'm sure busy but hopefully things are going well.

@Bruce sorry we've had a lot going on. Your update pinged my email so I'm popping in to say I'm alive!
