Hans had a gentle way of always being there for me. If I stumbled or fell, he would stop what he was doing and wait for me. He stood like a rock, giving me something steady to hold onto until I could get back up. With children, he seemed to lighten. His playful, gentle nature came through, and people could see how much he enjoyed being with them. He had a kindness that made children feel safe and welcome. I hope his babies, who will be born next year, carry a little of his gentle spirit. Hans died in my arms just after three this morning 09/04 2026

Sometimes heroes don’t roar into battle — sometimes they wait quietly in a barn until a life depends on them.

A little boy was playing near the ranch when a mountain lion burst from the trees and chased him toward the barn. The security footage is terrifying: the child running for his life… the predator closing in… no adults in sight.

And then Jack — the family’s gentle horse — moved.

The moment the boy crossed the doorway, Jack surged forward, ears pinned, instincts on fire. As the mountain lion lunged, Jack unleashed a thunderous double-kick that sent the predator staggering backward. He reared, striking the stall door, refusing to let it come closer. The stunned predator fled.
The boy collapsed into the hay. Jack stood over him like a shield.

By the time the family arrived, their son was sobbing but unharmed — because a horse had chosen to fight for him.

Today, the boy calls Jack his best friend. And the world calls him what he is: a hero on four legs.

My name is Cazmeir of Satin Friesians. Mom said I will pick my own barn name or not. Give me a few weeks and I’ll show those boys a thing or two.

Fly Strike

I’ve never experienced this before. This little girl was born last week when we were getting all that rain. A cold wet calf will attract the flies to lay their eggs. When I found her at not more then a day she was covered in maggots. Got her cleaned up good and loved on. She’s doing great.

Treina is home! That was horrible. How she did it I don’t know. Baby girl almost lost her life. She cut two arteries and a nerve. Nothing else I believe she will be fine. Unfortunately she lost her c**t. Not her fault.
