PMU Mare

Here at the ranch we have adopted a former PMU (Pregnant Mare Urine) mare. These mares are used for their urine to make synthetic hormone replacement, and these mares are treated very poorly--kept in a pen all of their lives, catheterized and in a constant state of pregnancy.


The babies are soon taken away from the mom and killed.

So we have adopted "Honey" and she is very afraid of people at this time, but we will love her and work with her and keep you updated on her progress :)


She knows there are treats in that bucket :)




Okay...this isn't so bad.....



She is a little unsure. She preferred when he was sitting.She is very tentative and head shy, but does like the treats. Needs about 200-300 pounds more on her, so she is in a good place here on the ranch:)

Our natural progesterone cream is made from plant based hormones--so you can feel good about using it, and we will keep you posted on Honey's progress.

What a beautiful, warm Colorado day. Hard to believe we were under blizzard conditions less than a week ago when it is 70 degrees out today. Here is Megan out sunning in a wagon.



and here is our Natures Light shop---no snow left :)




Laurie is going to spray her Friesian mare with some SOS-natural pain relief spray for animals...Franca has a sore hoof.

Happy Birthday

Yesterday my son Charlie Jr. (12) said he wanted to make his dad breakfast for his birthday. So when my husband woke up this morning my son had scrambled eggs, with hot sauce and toast with my homemade jelly on it. He was so surprised. He said his eyes filled with tears. What a sweet present from our son--one he will never forget:)
Happy Birthday Charlie Sr. :)

Snowstorm and power loss

We've been getting snow the last few days. Colorado has crazy weather can have sunny 70 degree weather one day and snow the next :) Nice thing about it is that the snow doesn't stay around long-usually just a few days. It started snowing and blowing on Wednesday we got around 8 inches, but with the blowing we get 4 and 5 foot drifts, which wouldn't be so bad, but we have 20+ horses. While some horses have big round bales out there 9 have to be fed daily, and they are all spread out in different pens :)
Now I am only 5'2" (on a good day) so climbing through the drifts to feed these horses can wear me out! LOL and to think some people have to go to the gym to work out.
So I got them fed, but we have a wood stove and of course we weren't prepared, so there I am digging out wood from under a nice large drift to put on my sled and pull back up to the house. I have an Alaskan Malamute and a German Shepard and they are just cocking their heads to the side, looking at me like "what are you doing?" Need to turn those 2 into sled dogs!
I get a nice fire going and just in time---the power goes out! What a day! and do you think our Y2K generator is hooked up? NOPE....lol. Wish I had pictures. What a riot!

Natures Light Featured On National Radio Show

Friday we got a call from Darla Bardelli professional angler and host of Outdoors In America, and Outdoors Arizona. She had tried to PRO Xtreme roll-on and loved it, so she asked if I would be on her radio show. So today I was on at noon our time, and 6pm our time.

I was also featured on the Don McDowell show "Shake, Rattle, and Troll" out of Arizona--so I have had a busy weekend :)

Now we have to get ready for a "Ladies Night Out" that we will be having a booth at in Boulder, Colorado this Thursday. I will post pictures of it after the show. See you later :)

Aromatherapy for Health and Well-Being

Have some fun with aromatherapy by selecting a favorite oil or two, and include them into your daily 'ritual' for inhalation, bathing, skincare and relaxation. Peppermint is a classic morning pick-me-up with a fresh, invigorating aroma. Use drops of peppermint oil on a damp cloth in the shower.

Japanese researchers have even designed alarm clocks that wake you up with energizing aromas!

Need to unwind at the end of your day? Use lavender to relax. Put a drop on a cloth and put it under your pillow while you sleep.

Need to freshen up your environment? Use Eucalyptus, lemon, pine, sage or tea tree.

If your in the mood for romance use oils like rose, jasmine, sandalwood, vanilla.

You can also mix 2-3 oils and make your own 'blend'.

There are many creative ways to experience the benefits of aromatherapy.
