Ferg

I’m good Ferg. Working for a company that keeps me busy with a factory in Seattle and LA. Turning less screws but teaching a lot. 

Sorry, not yet. 

Thanks Ferg.

I will have to go there and take a look.

Love to learn and see what others are doing.

God Bless.

Got it will go out tomorrow thank you!

I've seen some recent posts with two. I will attempt to upload a few photos to a test post. I suspect they will all be posted as long as they don't exceed the file size limit. That could be the determining factor.

Thanks for that little tidbit, Ferg. I am a Percheron person myself, although I'll acquire a Belgian every now and again. I'm always interested to hear stories like yours.  While I grew up on a farm, my folks were NOT horse people. My father got us a pony when I was about 5, followed by another a couple years later, and I think he's regretted it ever since. We always had saddle horses around after that, and I worked horses professionally after I got out of high school for a few years. I made the switch to draft horses about 12 years ago, after raising a team of quarter horse geldings that I broke to drive as a team. Very soon going down the road was not nearly enough. I had to get more horsepower and actually DO something with the horses.  Between my boyfriend Charlie and myself, we wintered over 140 head this past winter. He's a red roan Belgian guy, but I still favor a good, classic type Percheron. I've attached a picture of the yearlings, I think there were 34 or so, and we had about that many two year olds as well. It doesn't leave either one of up much time to "play" with the horses anymore:-)

Oh I guess I did get the pic of the 2 yr olds to load. First it wouldn't. Yard conditions were horrible all winter. Freeze and thaw, rain, then snow, repeat.

Great photos! We had two totally black Percherons, MAJOR and DAN. Dan lived to be 26 if I remember correctly, he was sway backed, gentle, worked like a dream, and we rode the old "Natural Saddle" whenever we got the chance. Major was a big, shiny, and beautiful young gelding that stood on my feet in the stall when I tried to get a bridle on him. Never hurt me, he was just having fun. "NICK SETTLEMIER" was a dappled gray stallion. My older brother and I would get on him while he was in his "chamber". We had woods and a spring fed stream running through our property. Nick never failed to give us a fabulous ride until he decided to get rid of us. He just laid down in the Creek! FANNY was the mama of Major and Prince. Fanny was dappled roan as was Princess. 

I still love them and can stroke almost all I meet without a problem. At going on eighty three years I allow folks like you to care for and feed them. LOL

That you so much for memories brought to the fore.

Denise had her surgery today with excellent results. No Chemo, radiation for about three weeks every day.

Unusual and very rare cancerous mass in one breast. Took a couple lymph nodes, they look good, they will do further testing on both.

Thanks, Ferg, for the update, . . . that MADE my day,  

Just goes to show that prayer is still working.  Give her a hug for all of us, . . . tell her there were a lot of folks out there praying for her.

I'll pass on the good news to all our prayer partners, they too will be happy and relieved.

May God bless,

Dwight

That is GREAT news Ferg!!! Really perked my day up as it is cloudy with a piddling little drizzle out here in the desert today. Kind of like a shaft of sunlight kame shooting thru because of the news.   mike

Welcome to the world little man!
