June 16, 2006: Raindance welcomes its fourth baby!
"Simply a Legend (Ledge)", born to parents Marks's Big Annie (Annie) - and Simply a Copy (Simmer) - a black stallion has led to what is probably the most conformationally perfect foal born at Raindance yet - with a personality to match. Legend will be offered for sale as a stallion prospect due to incredible papers on both parent's sides, or as a gelding.   (click on the pics for the big versions)

June 10, 2006: Raindance goes renewable!
As of this month we are pleased to announce that in partnership with East Central Energy, Raindance's entire power useage is now entirely through renewable sources found here in the USA. Half of our power is supplied through biomass (cow manure methane fumes converted to power a generator) and wind power. Just Raindance's switch to renewable brings an environmental impact equal to driving your car 6,000 fewer miles or planting more than an acre of trees.

Additionally, we are heated through passive solar, oil, electric and wood and later this year will add corn and wood pellet heating. Our entire oil useage last Winter (2005-06) was 3/4 of a tank of oil. Our goal? Reliance on renewable, resident resources. A return to the American fortitude that made this country great.

June 3, 2006: Raindance welcomes its third baby!
"Cheap Champagne", born to parents A Dollar's Worth (Doll) - a black roan sabino and Legacy's Goldmine - a gold champagne stallion has led to a strikingly gorgeous foal with champagne coloring and glowing blue eyes. Dreamer is a 'lap foal' trying to be as close to you as he can giving plenty of kisses.   (click on the pic for the big version)

May, 2006: Feline officer added to Pastureland Security
Our latest keen-eyed, constantly vigilant addition to excuse-makers is Aslan, who started here roughly the size of my palm and is now longer than my truck. Actually this would be a rare photo for him proving the new camera can shoot higher resolution photos in less time because he almost never sleeps for very long, preferring instead to pounce on anything that moves. Or doesn't move. Or was never intended to move once placed. Or air. We're researching ways to utilize him as an alternative energy source. In case you were wondering if cats can swim, Aslan has proven they can in our new pool.

 May, 2006: Raindance welcomes its second baby!
"Simply Fearless", born to happy parents Darkside's Magic Moment (Shania) and Simply a Copy (Simmer). Mom and baby are doing fine in our new barn and this marks the second Simmer baby to be born. He's big, strong and has his parents good looks! (click on the pic for the big version)
04/17/06: April 17, 2006: Raindance welcomes its first baby!
"The First Kiss", born to proud parents Last Dance (Dance) and Simply a Copy (Simmer). Mom and baby are doing fine in our new barn and this marks the very first Simmer baby to be born. She's as pretty as her proud parents!

04/09/06: Blaze's full brother, Ollie the Collie, joins our Pastureland Security
Thanks to the kindness of Blaze's breeders, Blaze's work of endlessly running in the pastures and helping herd the horses is continued by Ollie the Collie, Blaze's full brother. Ollie is larger than Blaze was but otherwise has so many of her same traits he continues a fine tradition. The Larsens called and offered me Ollie after hearing of Blaze's death and we are all eternally grateful for their kindness and caring.

04/07/06: Last ride for Raindance's Blazing Sky (Blaze)
For reasons God only knows I had to put my good friend and constant companion, Blaze, to sleep. Thanks for your friendship, devotion and constant harassment of the herd Blaze, we all miss you and will never forget you.
February 28, 2005 - April 7, 2006
May you rest in peace

03/09/06: Barn Raisin' 
In case you missed it, our new barn went up. It was all live on our webcam, you missed the chance to watch others work from the comfort of your own computer! Real reality television without the commercials.
