The Mother's Day Horse Show on Sunday, May 9th, took place at People Helping Horse's stables on the sunniest day of the month. There was a strong turn-out, with many old and new friends bringing their horses to show at the Emergency Fundraiser Show to support PeopleHelpingHorses.org, of Arlington, WA. Everyone from People Helping Horses sends their thanks and appreciation for your attendance, and the many, many, multiple entries received. The Pacific Northwest weather cooperated with a full day of sunshine. A great time was had by all.
Thank you, to Liz Stabbert, for taking candid shots of the horse show, and for driving to Arlington, WA from Silverdale, WA. Liz even rode a Washington State Ferry to get to the show! Everyone sincerely enjoyed Liz's company, and we look forward to seeing the images she posts from the show. Having a good photographer on hand taking pictures is such an advantage, and Liz was a welcome surprise for all the attendees.
Thanks also go to Shannon Mayer, and her dad, Phil Mayer, for baking such wonderful and tasty treats for everyone. "I think Dad's cinnamon rolls and the chocolate cupcakes were the most popular," says Shannon. They were kept busy all day, sharing chocolate samples, and collecting donations for these special treats. By the end of the day, there were only a few chocolate truffles and cinnamon rolls left.
I even have a little "pink" to my face from the sun, the weather was that nice. All of the show horses just glistened in the sun. Since we had our booth right next to PHH's mascot, "JoJo", Shannon plucked some grass for her, and visited with her new companion mini-horse, Spirit, several times during the show. They stayed as close to the action as she could! Our spot was a perfect viewpoint to watch and visit with everyone.
Let's all plan on coming together again, to support People Helping Horses during their annual, "Celebrate the Horse" festival this October 2nd and 3rd, in Lynden, WA. More will be posted as we get closer to the event. Thanks again, everyone.
There's a few videos taken during the show, they were posted live, to FaceBook, YouTube, and the AWhiteHorse App, right from the horse show. It was a ton of fun.
My husband, Phil, and my daughter, Shannon, are in the kitchen putting the finishing touches on little chocolate tartelettes to bring to the benefit horse show tomorrow in Arlington, WA. What better way to honor mothers than with chocolate goodies at her favorite activity; going to a horse show with family and friends.
Our friends, Larry and Mary Jensen, of Galaaxy Arabians, will be there, and Ray Mussnug, our dressage riding friend, will be coming to help, too. We've just discovered a wonderful new friend, Liz Stabbert, a professional equine photographer, 
who will be coming to the show and donating her services. If you'd like to capture precious memories of your horse and friends tomorrow, she'll be there to make it happen.
We'd like to thank all of the horse lovers coming together to assist PeopleHelpingHorses.org in the tough economy. We look forward to sharing some of tomorrow's event live, tomorrow, via YouTube or via our android app.
Congratulations! Penny safely delivered a spotted bay and white colt foal April 28, to the delight of the volunteers and workers at PeopleHelpingHorses.org. Penny, a bay and white paint mare, came to PHH from Skagit County Animal Control along with 5 other horses; three said to be in foal for spring, 2010. The horses were seized March 3rd due to a lack of care. They were emaciated, and covered in rain rot, and were badly in need of new homes, veterinary care, and second chances. With her foal safely on the ground, Penny is well on her way to recovery, and happier days.
This group of horses all have pretty good ground manners, and do not appear to have been mishandled, although a few have lameness issues with their hind legs. We will see how they progress with good feed and farrier care. They are still improving on a daily basis.
Penny has been a very sweet mare from the beginning, and she stood patiently as we came in to meet her darling foal. What a good mother she's become. Thankfully, our neighbor has a nice pasture where Penny and her foal may be turned out to play, when the ground dries a little more from the spring rain. Thanks to our many donors and volunteers, we may all look forward to enjoying further pictures of a happier looking Penny, with her beautiful foal.
To help contribute to Penny and her foal's continued care, please visit our donation site at PeopleHelpingHorses.org, or bring your family to visit PHH during our Emergency Benefit Mother's Day Horse Show, May 8th, 2010.
We have over 100 pages of original art pages to color. Beautiful horses to print at home and color over and over again. Here are some to start with, some of my favorite online fantasy horses to color.
There are many different horse breeds featured, from Freisians to Arabians, Miniatures to Clydesdales.
I've also posted some of my favorite wildlife animals to color.
A seahorse is, after all, wildlife, right? 
You may also find more original art selections to enjoy at my cafepress store, with new mermaids, more horses, and a few other interesting images, too. AWH
