This is a colt that was born in Aug/Sept. 07 around Vale OR. he live through the winter with little food. 5 other colts were going to be put down. To weak, but a friend of my brother in law’ sister ranch here in Jordan Valley brouht him the ranch.
I am retired firefighter and moved to the ranch. My sister told me about the colt, the next day after he got here I saw him, he was so thin and standing there. I began feeding him and brushing him daily and growing!!
He is my buddy now and comes to me when I call him. His name is “Buffalo/Big Guy”. I work with him every day. Next Spring I am going to start riding him. He likes his oats and I always have some in my work pants front pocket. When he’s eatting or when we are out walking, I have my Bible and read it while he’s eating.

As “Hawkeye’s” journey began, she posted pictures of the beautiful Australian Shepherd on the Barrel Horse World forum and thanked everyone in advance for helping move “Hawkeye” from MN to his new home in TX.

Puffy my sweet kitty I miss you, when you left you took some of my heart with you. Thank you for playing a part in getting me through a very tough year. You stayed close to me during one of the worse years of my life. Thank you Dear God for lending her to me.

A warning to large breed owners. Talk to your vet about the potential need to start feeding large breed dogs adult food rather than puppy food early to keep them from growing too fast. There are multiple conditions that can be a result of growing too fast. 2 examples are hip dysplasia and Wobbler Syndrome
