From Missy's Adoptive Mom-Linda: Happy Anniversary Missy!  She's been The Boss Mare for 6 years and definitely rules the roost. She's beginning to show her age, like her Momma!  She and King are still inseparable!

From Missy's Mom:  Celebrating two anniversaries today! Five years ago we made Missy a permanent member of our family. From day one this sweet mare stole my heart. I saw her picture online on the TIER rescue site in April and could not get her off my mind. Richard was a no-go on getting a second horse as we were in the process of planning where we would retire. He wanted to wait until we got where we were going.

That summer we took an extended roadtrip to find where we would move. I was checking the TIER page practically everyday to see if Missy was still there. Six months later I basically said, I'm going to go meet her. I have to know one way or the other if she is meant for us, either come with me or don't!
The rest is history! King and Missy are best buds, then and now.
And today is the fourth anniversary of King and Missy stepping out of Cindy and Scot's trailer here at Prairie Rose!

Happy Anniversary Missy! You’ve lived with us for three years and I’ve enjoyed every second! Love you bunches sweet girl!  Linda

4/19/2014 Missy had her feet trimmed by our farrier:  Val Dean Call.  Later in the day she had her teeth floated so that she can chew/process her feed better.

As expected, she was a real lady and very good for the farrier.  Right now her soles are pretty flat on the ground.  Otherwise, she just needed to have a good trim. 

Even though Missy was wonderful for our farrier, you can see she wasn't that impressed with the whole thing!  She gave us the "raspberry" once she was done.  HA!

Many thanks to Ingrid for once again providing transport of a horse in need to TIER.  Missy stepped easily into the trailer and she unloaded just as easily.   She was excited to see other horses, but did not get out of hand as Ingrid led her to her corral.

She did rush through the gate and you could tell she was happy to see others.

But WAIT.........what is that in the corner?

OMG!  It's a Donkey!  I LOVE Donkeys!

Donkey Love!  Mariah (Grey Arabian Mare) and Sunny (Palomino Mare) both met her at the same corner as Paco the Donkey.  Oddly, there was no posturing, striking, or yelling.  Missy touched noses with everyone and then kept her attention on Paco. 

Farrier will be out to do her feet in the next few days.  Dentist will be scheduled.  In a few days we wil give her Ivermectine wormer.  She is in GOOD weight, well behaved and excited to have horses around her again.
