R.I.P. Bruce
Mister Bruce Almighty was one of the greatest horses i have had the privilege to own and show and work with. He was truly a one of a kind horse. He could act like a stud when he wanted to but then turn around and be a complete teddy bear who loved to be bathed, brushed, and just loved on. He was euthanized at 3am this morning after colicing and twisting his gut. Sadly there was nothing we could do to save him. He will be missed very much especially by me. He was one of those that you couldn't help but love because he loved you back and loved to please you more than anything.
I don't know how it will go for a while as this was very devastating to me. Happily, i know he is somewhere better where he won't suffer anymore. I will miss you tons bruce! Hopefully your great spirit will live on in the seven foals you will hopefully bless us with this coming spring!
I love you my big gentle giant!

Great News!
So everything went well with Trevor last Wednesday! He seems to be doing better. Hopefully it stays that way.
On Friday, My mom & I loaded up my paint stallion Mister Bruce Almighty & his son Mr Almighty Scribbles and headed to Elko, NV for a futurity! It was a great experience. We took third and brought home some money! I'm so excited for this young colt. He is not the biggest horse in the pen but no matter where you go he doesn't get excited or act stupid. We had horses running around us and the baby horses crying for their moms and he laid his head on the rail and fell asleep. I will be adding pictures soon.
This wednesday, I'm heading to ogden for a week to show horses and run my palomino Reggie in a big barrel race and the barrel racing in the show! Wish me luck!

Doctors! Doctors! Doctors!
So after 15 months, 4 hospital visits and not going to the hospital twice, we might have found out what is wrong with my hubby Trevor! He wakes up in the morning and vomits and doesn't stop! First time he got sick we found out that he is very sensitive to morphine, (baby dose almost stopped his heart and he turned blue, while i was showing my stallion at the arena), second time waited for 45 minutes before finally getting seen at our local hospital, got the pain stopped and fluids into him! 3rd time waited two hours to be seen at local hospital then finally took him to Utah Valley in Provo and got the same stuff! What makes me real mad is that no doctors can figure out what is wrong at this point! they just say it is a stomach flu! And he got sick twice and was able to stay home. Finally, Yesterday, 9/1/08 we went to the hospital again over him getting sick! The doctor gets his pain stopped and sends him in for a HIDA Scan which took two hours and the doctor has finally figured out what it might be. His gallbladder is bad! Finally we've found out the problem, hopefully! So, Next wednesday we got into American Fork for Surgery! Hopefully this helps! With all the new technology you would think it would have been found earlier than this! But hopefully we've got it solved! Keep fingers crossed!
