Oh, I am happy, now.  More beautiful Mista!  Thanks for updating the journal!

He's doing great, thanks for asking Jen.  He has grown a nice fuzzy coat now too.  It is just time that is a factor in me being able to post to my journal....you would think that since it is not summer any more that things with this program would have slowed down, but they certainly haven't and we have been very busy.  That is a very good thing, but it doesn't leave a lot of "extra" computer time.  Once we hit January I will have a lot more computer time (but then probably nothing exciting to write about either)  

I know that I actually posted a bit about Mista here on the forum in a different, more current thread than this one, but not sure where that one is.  I actually posted a picture of Mista in his "Halloween Costume" on there too, and a very recent picture of Mista in his new purple rope halter from Sophie just last week (that would be under the "thank you Sophie" thread that was written by Mista).   

On November 11th, you did a very nice article about the present that "Mista" got from Sophie, and "Mista" is modeling it very nicely.... I don't know where his halloween costume is though..... Sophie did a very nice job! I would like to know if it can be adjusted if their head is a little bigger or smaller....

Arizona sports a genuine 'Sophie' in purple also.  Great halter!  Support a sweetheart and buy a 'Sophie' today!    She'll probably adopt another darling with all her extra cash!

It's good to hear that Mista is doing so well.  I know what it's like being busy this time of year getting everything ready for winter! (though we're not quite as busy as you guys) Sophie that rope halter is beautiful; i'd love to have you make some for our horses. Karen has my email if your interested.

Isn't that AWESOME!  You'll have to let us know how we can purchase any items that end up with Mista's beautiful face on them.  You know, he came up on blackhorse the other day. The discussion was on interesting facial markings and someone mentioned Mista.  What a celebrity he is!

Even better news!  I can't wait to see what pictures make it in the calendar.  Now that is going to be a tough choice.  Maybe a pair of irresitible little donkeys, perhaps???? ;-)

PS - Not sure, didn't recognize the name at all and was quite surprised to see him mentioned.  But yeah, I did remember some of those misguided remarks.  GEEZZ!!!!

Just catching up here......

I finally looked up the Petusiasm site to see Mista's beautiful picture that won for the month of December.  The picture is unbelievable, it just pulls you in!  I hope it wins overall and hits the cover for 2007!  Good Luck Karen!

I just went to the journal too, and I saw, of course, "King Mista" in his royal cape, extending his FRISKINESS, and the other two, "Daisy Duke" & "Bambi" standing there so cute. Then I saw that gorgeous set of almost black sweeties standing there. I didn't know who I was looking at until I read the journal, and hence, it was none other than "Volare" and "Sophie". It looks like "Volare" was thinking of doing something, cuz "Sophie" is looking straight at him... I love how "Volare" is holding his neck, so PRIM/PROPER!! "Bambi" & "Daisy Duke" seem like such a PERFECT set of matching bookends/buddies.... Thanks for this picture, it is very nice!! I love this one.It has to be alot of fun to just be able to capture these moments..

Yea, he really is something, isn't he.   

Thanks Kellie.   

    Yup, Got to meet the whole group. From Bambi to Houdini. I am never as happy as when I am in a bunch of Equines.  Mista was as gentle as a lamb and took treats from little girl hands  as gently as a kitten,Lowered his head right to them. They loved him right away and even more when they heard his story.Gee I didn't even notice it was that cold out. They were all pretty well behaved, except for maybe a couple who thought they could help with the string from the round bales.....gotta get a nose in to check it out ya know.

    But what impressed me the most was the dedication and compassion that Scott and Karen have for the whole herd. To listen to the day to day happenings, the wonders and the sorrows, of not just one or two, but all of the horses there and to see that each one is happy, not all are 100% anymore, due to the trials that life has given them, but they  all have a sparkle. There is alot of love out there in that pasture, and it starts before you even get to the gate.

I want everyone to know, that the most special thing about MHWF is the pair that hold it all together, Their compassion and caring for the animals and inner strength that it takes to do what they do, combine to make it not only a rescue but a force to be dealt with when it comes to doing the right thing, in the right ways for the right reasons.

more great photos on last night's entry!  Love the mystery with Mista's photo.  How odd that he wasnt interested in coming to visit that day, guess he was giving whomever it was the cold shoulder & probably rightly so - only Mista can truly judge that.
