FacebookGolden hour
I was getting ready to leave the barn this evening when I caught this shot. This embodies everything I love about the barn and about summertime. It's so close -- summer is so close! And this weekend is our first horse show (and my first gymkhana!) AND the weather is supposed to hit 90F+ for the first time since last →
Moose on the loose
I actually meant to post this post yesterday... time somehow got away from me, and also a massive toothache somewhat derailed things. Bleh. Oh, and if you haven't "liked" Moose on Facebook, why not? Just click here to do so. :-) Anyway, Moose and I have both had a pretty busy past couple of weeks, despite it being summer break. You may →
June 10 on 10: Live like you were dying
10 on 10: A photo taken every hour, for ten consecutive hours, on the tenth of the month. ~~~~~~ Well, I was going to try to do a whole song theme for this post like my March 10 on 10 post, but alas, even though I searched and searched, I didn't find a Tim McGraw song I liked well enough and that →
Leave our kids alone!
This is not a happy post. Remember how this past March, I wrote about how one of the Horses, Hope & Healing kids was hit by a car, and the driver took off? Well, crap has happened yet again with another HH&H kid, and I'm so sick and angry over the whole thing. Remember Rudy? He's the kid I wrote briefly about →
Welcome to Kari’s blog of horses and cute children
First off, happy birthday to me! Since that's how I roll, I'm asking people for a bale of hay. Not for me, silly (John wouldn't be very happy if I stored it in our apartment) but for the horses at Horses, Hope & Healing. If you're fresh out of a bale of hay, or just don't have enough wrapping paper, you →
It’s funny how one thing leads to another
Disclaimer: Today's pictures aren't mine. Read on for why. :-) When I sold Moose almost six years ago, I would have never in a million years dreamed that I'd own him once again. (If you missed that part of the story, go here for the details.) But somehow, through the grace of God and random twists of fate, I do, and →
Pat the bunny
The little girl in these pics is the same one on the miniature horse in this post from last October, my first Tuesday Mooseday. She was out at the barn with her pet rabbit last Thursday, and this rabbit had to be the absolutely most quiet, patient rabbit I've ever seen -- it was perfectly content to just curl up →
I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart
The quote in the title of this post is the last line of Anne Frank's diary. I think I first read that book when I was in the third or fourth grade, and even then, the irony of the line struck me, given why she had been in hiding in the first place and why that was her last entry. I →
My newest baby (don’t worry Mom, it’s not another horse)
This baby is digital, and I'm proud to say that after many many hours of labor, the new Horses, Hope & Healing website is fully operational! I started work on it over Christmas break, but if it weren't for Joel! and Ting, I'd probably be in a crying heap on the floor -- they came through early yesterday morning and →
A neat bit of Sacramento history
I knew Moose's barn was old. Really, you only have to take a look at the outside of the barn, and it's pretty obvious. It just looks old. I'm not knocking it -- it's a great barn, and if you haven't figured it out by now, I dig old stuff. Especially old stuff that's still useful. This is why I →
Evening at the barn
Setting sun, horses waiting for dinner, and Wendy laying down the law with two brothers (in the biological sense, not racial sense, although I suppose that works too) who'd argue over whether or not the sky is blue and the grass is green. I love Moose's barn, and the youth horse program there. .
All right Mr. De Mille, I’m ready for my closeup

Sorry Moose, you’ve just moved down a notch on the cuteness ladder
The stall right across the barn aisle at Moose's barn has been occupied by a pregnant goat for over a month now, and I've been checking every time I've been out there to see if she'd had her kids yet. Well, I missed the birth (Saturday evening) but I got to go out there yesterday and see the wee little →
Special announcement: Horses, Hope, and Healing Holiday toy and tack drive this Saturday!!
Today's post has been pre-empted in favor of a very important announcement! (Please note: I will have this post stickied all week, so after Monday, if you still see this as the top post, just scroll down the page.) :-) The barn where I keep Moose is also home to Horses, Hope, and Healing, a horse program that rescues both neglected →
