New Brand of Coffee at the Dollick Home....

In between rain showers we got the break needed to bring Coffee to his new foster family in Ramona. ha, ha, ha... a Coffee break!

All of us looking like drowned rats, couldn't have been happier than to have this sweet horse meet his new family. It was blustery out with a hard wind, cold temps and rain, but so worth it for the smiles on the family's faces when our trailer pulled in the yard.



One of my long time dentistry clients, Cheryl was recently over at our ranch and I told her about Coffee and she immediately said "I would love to have him as a foster companion for Rocky", her late teenage quarter horse. I spoke to his sponsors, Dawn and Clint, and it was agreed that it was a wonderful situation since Cheryl hadn't wanted another riding horse, but one to keep her riding horse company while we continue to look for a permanent situation for Coffee.

Rocky was glad to see another horse at the house too... While they are in separate enclosure till they get used to each other, Rocky made no bones about the fact that he wanted to get to know Coffee better. Rocky was frolicking around as if to say "come play with me". Poor Rocky hasn't had a herd mate for almost a year...

Hanna was excited to finally have a once wild, but now very tame and loving, mustang at her house. Most kids (and many adults) dream of one day having a wild mustang and now that dream has come true, at least for a while . Like his other Carter Reservoir herd mates, Coffee has a very calm demeanor and loving nature. Hanna put her hand under his nose so he could sniff and he licked her hand like a dog - a sweet way to get introduced.

It is nice of people to step up to help while we are trying to find a permanent placement for Coffee. In the meantime he will continue to get daily love and attention he so deserves.
