Broncos Game

Here are some pics of Charlie Sr. (Susan's husband) and their son Charlie Jr. at his first Broncos game. He is so into the Broncos and football this year, so we splurged and got tickets. We were a little bummed they lost, but the boys still had fun :)Driving to the field.

Remedies for Dry Hair

With winter sometimes my hair gets dry-so I found these natural remedy and thought I would share it with you.

To keep your hair in top condition, try massaging a few drops of oil of rosemary into the scalp, then rinsing with an infusion of nettle.

You can also take your favorite conditioner and massage it into wet hair and wrap a plastic grocery bag around your hair for ten minutes.

For very dry hair, warm two T of olive oil in a cup placed in a pan of hot water. Massage the oil into the scalp. Steep a towel in hot water, wring it out and wrap it around your head for about two hours. Rinse with a solution of half a cupful of cider vinegar to 11 cups of water.

To make an egg shampoo for dry hair use 1 T of fresh rosemary, 2 1/2 cups of hot water and egg. Steep the rosemary for 20 minutes and allow to cool. Beat in the egg and massage into the hair and rinse well.

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.
