It has been a year since I have updated you on star. She is doing great. We have not tried any riding as I hurt myself last year and am now getting ready to get back in the saddle. She has settled in just fine and has a great friendship with my yearling. I am ready to start looking for the next one.

Star is sooooooooo sweet. I fed her out in her paddock this morning along with the others in their paddocks and she munched away. I had fed her a little light yesterday so she wouldn't try to colic but this morning she definitely wanted her grain and alfalfa hay. While she ate I groomed her. She was such a mess when she arrived that I knew my first job with her was a good grooming with a curry brush. She loved it. She lifted her hooves up for me no problem. She loves to have her face brushed and LOVES apples. While I picked up the messes in her paddock she followed me and nudged me to pet her more. She really likes my old guy.

Just a quick note from Star.

I am doing great. I love my new home and have a roommate. She is a young Dutch filly and we play all day long. The weather in Washington has been great so I have been able to be outside playing everyday. I do have one problem. I keep gaining more weight.

I will write with further info soon. Please give carrots and love and new homes to my buddies I had to leave behind at the feedlot. I know there is a wonderful home out there for them too.
