~2023~
October 27, 2023---There's a few more breed pages that have been reformatted. Working on that part of the site as depression allows. We're nearing the end of October and in-coming requests are at 195 for the year to date. My goal for 2023 is 200. Will I get there? Thank you to everyone who has sent me requests this year.
July 2, 2023---Reformated the tobiano NASD page today.
June 25, 2023---My depression has been kicking my ass lately and page reformatting is on hold for now. I'm updating foaling records regularly though. Hoping to get back on track with reformatting soon. Thank you to everyone who's sending me breeding requests, right now it's what's keeping me going.

March 4, 2023---Still moving along on doing the reformatting to the breed pages (barns). I am only redoing the formatting for the IDs already on this site and will worry about going through IDs still offline to add after I'm all caught up on reformatting. It's confusing enough working on the site as I get things no longer needed deleted and moving things around. It's why I initially went with trying to do a new site instead of tackling redoing this one. Since Square (the company who took over Weebly) customer service was such a PITA and uncooperative I have to tackle this update here. Bare with me.
February 24, 2023---Okay, had an issue with the new site so have moved all barns I'd transferred over there back to here and have begun redoing 'barns' into the new format I was using on the other one. I am trying to remain open to new breeding requests while I do this and as long as I don't get confused as I'm going (moving around pages in the editor, transferring pedigree and foaling information to the barn pages and deleting personal pages for each ID) I won't.
February 5, 2023---Currently working on transferring the Missouri Fox Trotter barn over to the new site. I've finished transferring the Paso Fino barn since my last news post. The plan is to tackle the Peruvian Paso barn once I've finished the MFTs. That barn I have IDs one this site that need transferred over, then a pile of IDs to sort though and decide who's being kept and added along with the others.
January 5, 2023---Working on the new site. There are a couple breed barns that are linked to the site because they've been completed over there and their pages/barns have been deleted on this site. I'm not sure when the migration will be complete and will try to remember to post here on the news page with more updates. I'm taking my time though. So far the Friesian barn and the ASB barns are finished. The ASB barn not only has the IDs from here up but also the rest of the IDs in my binder that had yet to make it to this site. There's more than 50 IDs up now between the stallions and mares.
~2022~
December 23, 2022---There a handful of breed pages moved to the new site. I'm currently getting some ASB IDs added there I had yet to get added here before the site-change.
December 15, 2022---I've hit storage capacity on this account so have opted to create another account using one of my other emails. I will be redoing the Shadow Wolf Stables part of this account over there and will leave this one for the L'velkyn Phreng/Fantasy site. I had planned to get the other site mostly done before announcing it but I changed up how I'm doing 'barn' layouts and wanted some opinions on what I'd done so published the other site and posted a link to a completed barn page to my Facebook stable group. I'm currently debating deleting barn pages from this site as I complete them on the new site.
November 22, 2022---Been making little updates here and there and getting a few new breeds added as well.
July 30, 2022---Getting the Shetland barn opened up. Slowly getting IDs added to the page.
July 17, 2022---Added a Pony Breed page with button links to various pony breed barns. Have also added Pottok Ponies to the stable. All Pottok IDs are currently BSOs. Will work on filling the ids with model bodies as quickly as possible.
June 24, 2022---Still here. Been struggling a bit because my depression has been really bad but I have been attempting to work on the site whenever I can manage to find umph to do so. There's has been regular updates and additions in various places on the site I've just not posted them on this page. I've changed up the draft breed barns and put button links to each of them on a single Draft Breeds page to try to cut down on the drop down breed menu. I will most likely do this for at least some of the other types as well. The Welsh Ponys are now llinked from one Welsh - All Sections page instead of individually. Or, at least, the two section barns that are currently open. I still have to work in the Section A and Section B barns before they'll be linked/open.
April 16, 2022---Working in the NASD barn(s) as I've had them 'temporarily closed' forever because I keep getting distracted by other site projects.
April 15, 2022---Revamped the draft portion of the site. Instead of individually listing them on the drop down there is now just a Draft Breeds page with button links to individual breeds on that page. The drop down for the S/D Listing is getting very long so hope it will help. I might do this for other types in the future as well. Several new draft breeds have been added too.
March 21, 2002---Been struggling badly with depression again this month but trying to do at least one thing each day on the site. I don't necessarily post updates or news for those. Despite that I have managed to create a couple barns on site with 'other' draft breeds. Most IDs in these barns are BSOs at this time. Like all BSOs, as I get models to fill them the BSO tags will be replaced. If you're looking for parents for Rhenish German Coldbloods, Suffolk Punch or Mulassier IDs, you'll find them in their respective barns on the site.
February 7, 2022---Still doing random updates regularly even if I'm not always remembering to say so on the Home page. Still slowly plugging along on the revamp of the site so not all breed barns are open yet to the public.
Also, if you have trouble viewing the entire drop down under Sire/Dam List you can now get links to open breed pages by clicking directing on Sire/Dam List. I've added links to them on that page because a friend mentioned she was having trouble viewing the long drop down list of barns.

January 18, 2022--Been doing random updates since my last entry.
~2021~
October 10, 2021--Got a few more Appaloosa IDs added and their personal pages done. Added a new Standardbred ID and got his personal page done as well.
September 26, 2021--I think personal happenings in the last couple months caught up to me, I've had very little umph to work on hobby stuff this month. I am slowly working on breeding requests and getting certificates out as I can. Please let me know when you send in a request if you need a certificate or are okay with getting the information of my site once I approve the breeding. Please note that certificates usually provide more information, like model owners, make/mold information on models if known and possibly other information as well. Right now, grabbing the information from my site once approved would be great but as long as you're willing to wait for a certifcate I'm okay with that too.
August 29, 2021--Since my last entry on this page I have added another breed project to the barns as well as added some more Lipizzaner IDs to the Lipizzaner barn. Breeding requests received and have sent out certificates for those with complete information. Have a list of breeds/colors the owner wants help figuring out parents for. Will get to that asap. Trying to plug along. Please forgive me if my replies and/or getting certificates sent are delayed. I've lost two family members since July 29th. This has not been a good month for me. This hobby stuff is a hide away/release for me but sometimes that just means doing personal stuff for myself when the day is going badly.
August 16, 2021--Started working on a Saddleloosa project with a couple of other hobby breeders. I've added a barn for them on this site and have begun adding IDs. I still need to get their individual pages added with the pedigree and foaling records and am still working on PA'ing models for the barn page. The WIP tag on the barn page will remain until I get the personal pages done.
August 7, 2021---Got all Vanner and Chincoteague Pony IDs' personal pages added and removed the WIP tag for their pages.
July 29, 2021---Added a couple new breeds to the site in the last couple months. Working on getting personal pages added for those and periodically updating the older barns into the new color scheme and getting personal pages for IDs added to those too. Slowly plugging along as I can.
May 5, 2021---Nearly completed updates to the Percheron barn. As of today I just have two IDs left to add. All IDs already on the page have their personal pages added and linked to their names. The two remaining IDs at this time are older, mostly model bred IDs, both stallions.
February 22, 2021---Got the American Belgian's personal pages finished and linked to their IDs. I still need to do the two Brabant IDs in the same barn though. Some IDs were removed and a few new ones have been added. I know I still have some bodies I need to ID/pedigree yet but not sure when I will get back to those.
Also, a few days ago, I got all MFT stallion IDs I current have in my binder added to the MFT barn, mostly BSOs at this time but now that we have a Stablemate scale MFT mold there are plans for bodies. I still have a couple MFT mare IDs to add yet.

January 7, 2021---Added several mares to the Morgan barn.
~2020~
July 22, 2020---Finally managed my out of state move the end of June. Still needing to get things settled and set up before I can open for breedings on a regular basis. My box of pedigrees is buried at the back of the spare room currently. I am periodically offering IDs or breedings in my stable group on Facebook while I'm waiting to be able to offer a completely open stable again.
March 10, 2020---Worked a little on updating the Arabian barn. There's still a long way to go on adding horses though.
March 9, 2020---Been slowing working on various pages/projects and updating pages. Will be making an out of state move in the next few weeks and will not be taking requests for a bit. I will remove the notice on both the Home page and the Rules page once I am taking them again.
January 21, 2020---Just want to note that I do some light photo showing via MHU-Mini Showers Anonymous on Facebook. In the past I've done other photo showing in various clubs both snail mail and via online resources. I only lightly live showed models and that was back prior to 2005. I plan to add records from what I'm currently involved in. I am pretty sure I lost all records of showing prior to 2012 due to computer crashes and flooding or moves. As time allows I will add what I have though.
January 14, 2020---Opened the Shire barn this morning, including individual pages.
~2019~
December 29, 2019---Been struggling with a very sick cat since the end of November, working on getting the funds together for the testing the vet wants to do. Have been completely worn out so have not been into hobby things lately. I did manage to open the Clydesdale barn today, including individual pages that include pedigrees.
Novemvber 3, 2019---Additions and updates to the Unicorn page.
October 31, 2019---Slowly working on things on the site, I've just not updated the news here. There might be a move in the relatively near future for me again, if this happens I'm not sure how often I'll be updating things for a while. I will try to post here if the move is definitely happening.
July 5, 2019---Still adding barn pages and have been doing so slowing since last update. Tonight I reopened the Dutch Warmblood barn. Still a long way to go with getting others reopened but everything that is visible is open. Part way through I decided to do individual pages that included pedigrees. Anything I've added since the decision has barns with clickable names to them. As I'm working on adding other barns I've also been going back and doing so in the ones I opens before I made that decision. Eventually all horses will have clickable names/individual pages w/pedigrees.
May 26, 2019---Still slowly working on opening barns up and going back and updating those already open with links to individual model's pages that include pedigree.
April 5, 2019---The Friesian barn horses' names now link to personal pages that include pedigree.
April 4, 2019---Still slowly opening barns. Am now in the process of going back and creating/linking individual horse pages to their names. Individual pages will include pedigrees and foaling records will be moved to them as well.

March 14, 2019---Still plugging along on getting horses ID'd and IDs up on site. There have been a few more barns open since my last update on this page. Today I decided to add pedigrees as well so now I'll be back tracking to do so on those barns I have open/horses I have on site. I will still offer certificates to those who want them but it's not a necessity now if you don't.
February 22, 2019---Starting to update the Andalusian page and have the page available for viewing with the currently updated IDs already added. There are others to still update and add though.
February 4, 2019---There are a small number of breed barns open for requests and are now visible on the drop down menu from the Sire/Dam List link are the top of the site. Please keep any requests you send to three at a time.

January 27, 2019---I have several breed barns open for requests. I'll open others as I get them updated.
December 2018---I have moved. With the coming new year I look forward to updating the site and reopening for requests.
December, 7, 2016---I've been working on the site here and there since last update.
I now have the SMR Studbook and have double checked any real mares I used for foals to make sure I used an open year.

November 28, 2016---Some updates, new horses added and some BSO IDs received bodies.
September 14, 2016---Have a hobby friend visiting for the week and she's going home with some of my doubles. Am updating pages tonight and will finish tomorrow night with removing any IDs who've found a new home with her.
September 11, 2016---Been updating here and there most days, working on pedigreeing up models and getting them added to the site as I do.

August 8, 2016---Still working on getting things updated. I few more pages have been opened up. You'll currently find me adding foal records here and there as I work on things. Please note that the records may not be complete until I post that all are so. Continue to use the noted open years above any foaling records.
(Mare's listed open years [ie. Open year - year] are current, it's the individual foaling records I'm working on listing/updating.)

July 7, 2016---Opened up a few more breed pages and readded my breeding rules to the Rules page. I hadn't realized I'd not added them when I switched pages around.
June 16, 2016---Updated the Welsh Sec. A and D pages. Reopened the Standardbred page.
June 15, 2016--Paso Fino and Tennessee Walking Horse pages reopened with a few new additions.
June 13, 2016---I've been sorting through nearly 30 years worth of model ID's and pedigrees for the last two weeks. Slowly reaching the end of the huge pile I had to start.
Members of my stable group on Facebook have benefited as I've posted a number of IDs up for grabs.
I've also started taking down Stablemate boxes and taking pictures of every model in the box. I've done 5 boxes so far and have at least that yet to do. 450+ models have quick pictures taken so far to help me know exactly what I have ID'd and what still needs to be ID'd.
I've been updating the site here and there as I do both.

May 29, 2016--It's been a long time since I've updated the news section. I'm still slowly going through my site and updating things, just not updating this page often.
I've sold and/or given away all of my later scale models except for a handful. I have three or four Traditional scale models left and I think about half a dozen classics. You'll find many IDs have been converted to BSOs as I update pages because of this. I eventually plan to have bodies for all IDs.

December 18, 2015--Have opened a couple pages in the last two weeks, todays addition is the Appaloosas.
October 31, 2015---Did a little work on the site tonight. Started adding some of the Belgian Draft horses to the available horses. Added a new ID.
October 11, 2015---Still slowly moving stuff from the old house to the new place. Yesterday all the Stablemates made the move.
Currently working on giving IDs and PA'ing. New Id's will be added here and there over the course of the next few weeks.

September 16, 2015---I'm slowly moving. Have work to do on the new place so I'm just moving a little something each weekend while the work is getting done.
November 4, 2014---Started sorting through my ASB IDs and have opened some of them up to requests, you will find them on their pages in the drop down menu, will have others done asap.
October 21, 2014---Some models on the orphan page have received IDs and are now moved to the appropriate breed pages. Still slowly opening individual breed pages to request. They can be found in the drop down menu under Sire/Dam List.
October 11, 2014---Starting to reopen some breeds. The going will be slow as I'm deciding which ids I'm parting with if they can't be refilled with a body I have in Stablemate scale. Nearly all my Traditional scale models are slowly being sold. I'm keeping my Amarna Arabian stallion resin, my Smoke and my OT Sara Moniet RS. After I get through the Trad. IDs I'll be going through the Classic ones, most if not all the models I have in that scale will be sold as well. If I can't fill an ID with a SM scale body then I will most likely offer the IDs up to others. Please be patient as I work through these changes.
August 1, 2014---Requests are closed for the time being. Watch for revamped website soon.
January 1, 2014---And thus begins a new year.
December 31, 2013---Added two horses to listing just minutes before 2014.
December 10, 2013---Added a couple horses today.
December 3, 2013---It's been some time since I updated here. I've been a bit burned out and not doing much hobby-wise. Still taking requests via my stable group on Facebook but I wanted to update here to let people know that I don't have use of my laptop for the time being and had to drag out one of my desktops. Unfortunatly I can only view Office programs on it and not do anything else with them. All my pedigree files are in Word, I can't even copy/paste from the word docs so have to type out certificates for now so it'll take me a little longer to get a certificate out. There are just a few files that are on the laptop alone that I do not have access to, most were saved to my external and/or flash drive.
New Peruvian Paso stallion added tonight.
New Peruvian Paso stallion added tonight.
October 10, 2013---Just wanted to post an update. I'm still taking requests via Facebook/my stable group. No new IDs added recently as I've been working on crafts and haven't done up any new IDs...lots more that need them, just haven't lately.
September 14, 2013---Three new horses added today, all three IDs adopted from CSS. One is currently a BSO and the other two have bodies. Morab stallion and a pair of Oldenburgs.
September 8, 2013---Small updates made here and there since my last entry. Mare's years updated. Additions added to the New Additions page.
August 31, 2013--Got a number of requests done in the last two days. Spent part of yesterday entering photos into classes for a new member of Just The Classics as she only has net access through her phone and can't load pictures to albums on Facebook. Mares years have been updated on the site as I work on request via Facebook I'm just not noting every time I do it.
August 23, 2013--Small addtions and updates made regularly over the last couple weeks. Breeding requests still being handled via Facebook with mare's years updated here immediately after each request.
August 9, 2013--New Quarab ID added tonight. Breeding requests received via Facebook and I've updated mares years tonight because of it.
Check out Whisper's Den for the new models I received today!
Check out Whisper's Den for the new models I received today!
August 8, 2013--Received some breeding requests via Facebook. Have some Friesians to do up. a Shire and a Mustang. Updated mares years. No new horses added the last few days, I think I've fizzled out on that part for a little bit. Awaiting new horses in the mail, one is already ID'd and listed on the site here.
August 6, 2013--Did a little updating and added a new entry to Whisper's Den.
July 27, 2013--Filled in quite a few BSO IDs with bodies tonight. There are others still in my files that I haven't added to the site yet that have available bodies if I decide to include them. I'm sure there's even more that are already on the site but I have been working with the Stablemates I have pictures of and not ones I don't when it comes to filling BSOs.
July 26, 2013--Worked on a base two nights ago and did a little painting on some Stablemates yesterday. Got out a couple of certificates last night too, both requests received via FB. Judged the MHU Just the Classics group show two days ago. Come next month I have the Spotted Beasties show to judge and I think that's all I'm scheduled for at this time.
July 19, 2013--Slowly working on judging the July MHU Traditional Showers group monthly POS.
Updated mares years today and have some requests via my stable group on FB that I need to do up.

July 12, 2013--Added a few new horses, removed some horses from the orphan page and updated mares years where needed.
July 11, 2013--Started work on a fantasy base last night. Not sure at this point if I'll use it for some fantasy horses or if it'll be used for roleplaying minis but it's the first base I've work on in a bit.
July 10, 2013--Worked on and off on typing up pedigrees into the format I'm currently using the last few days.
July 6, 2013--Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th!
New horses added over the last few days: Thoroughbreds, a bso Swedish Warmblood mare, some Polish Arabian mares and a couple of TWHs.
Still not open from the site/email to do requests but I AM currently taking one or two at a time from people via my stable group on Facebook.

June 23, 2013--Wow, it's been some time since I've updated the news page here. I hadn't realized I didn't. Been very busy with lots of hobby goings on outside of my site so notifications of changes here have been slack. I HAVE been adding/updating horses/information all along just not posting notifications here.

April 16, 2013--Still working on the site...slowly. Not ready to open for requests yet so please be patient.
You'd think this break would have me catching up, but it's not. I've have lots of itty bitties coming in that will need names/pedigrees.

March 25, 2013--Updated the G2 collection pages with the newest pictures I've taken so far. There's still quite a few G2s to get new pictures of though so more updates will be coming. Have lots more pictures to add to the Orphan page at some point but I did manage to pedigree a couple of Appaloosas in the last two days. Long way to go and not sure exactly when requests will be open at this point.
March 24, 2013--Still not taking requests but wanted to update this page. I've been taking pictures over the last few days and have been updating photos on pages as I can. @100 pictures so far, one box of G2 Stablemates, there's still another box + of G2s alone to do then to move on to the other generations.
I acquired several of my own customs back this month. I rarely part with stablemates, it's always been that way. I sold very few customs because of this (and only when attending live shows or to friends) I'm very happy to have any return. These are from 7-10 years old and were gifts to a then close friend. Double good to have them home..

February 11, 2013--Shadow Wolf Stables is currently not taking requests. I will post when we are open to new ones again.
February 8, 2013--Yes, it's been a while since the last entry here. I was a bit burned out on working on the site so didn't push myself to do too much. There have been some new adds and updates here and there since the last entry I just didn't post that they were done. Currently working on year end points for Mini Showers, still need to get a few of mine done and then I need to organize what everyone else has sent me before I can get Top 10s posted. The group had it's drawing for the 2012 Judge's Incentlives and all the judges got something, from Jennifer Selby's Arabian Presentation set to customs, to OFs or Photo Services. I won a custom Micro Mini from Heather Kapica. After speaking to Heather we settled on a trotting ASB with new mane and tail and Heather has three color choices to do her. I'm going to use the opportunity to fill in a BSO ID on my list.
The FB show group concept has taken off. I run three groups and two other people have add a group each to the bunch. Now we have: MHU: Mini Showers Anonymous, MHU: Just the Classics, MHU: Itty Bitty Mini Club, MHU: Traditional Showers and MHU: Performance Showers.
Mini Showers is now entering it's second year and we've added new members already this year. I'm looking forward to another awesome show season.
On the PA'ing front.I'm behind. Well I've been that since I started updating here but I've slacked off getting new horses ID'd and pedigreed. With workiing on finishing up year end stuff for Mini Showers it will still be a little while before I get back to it.

December 30, 2012--Got the urge to start adding a collection section today. I'll slowly be putting up pictures as I come across old ones or get new ones taken. I do have breeding certificates to work on by I've been a little fried on them with everything that's been going on, I'll get to what I owe people asap. Mini Showers Anonymous is winding down it's first year of shows, our Championship show will be judged shortly. There were a couple bumps in judging recently but for the most part it was an absolutely great year. I am looking forward to MSA's 2013 show year. I recieved a number of stablemates from friends for the holidays and hope to be able to get pictures soon.
December 7, 2012--I've had a lot going on lately and what I thought would be finished at the end of November wont be until after the new year. My stress level is extremely high and hobby things have slowed down for the time being.
November 12, 2012--Added several Warmbloods to the site today. I should be going away either tomorrow or Weds. I'm not sure about internet access while I'm away but I'll be taking IDs that need to be changed into my new format with me. No, it will not be all that need to be done as there are a ton left to do but I'll bring a small pile. If any of the parents for current requests get done I will make up the certificates as I go.
November 8, 2012--Several new Shire mares added. Awaiting a box from a friend that contains one classic from my want list and a few other things. I might be away from home next week, not sure about internet access while I'm away.

October 27, 2012---Have not done certificates or typing of IDs all week, needed a break from doing so. Got some picture taking in though and have updated pictures on a number of horses.

October 20, 2012---Sent out certificates. Slowly dwindling down the pile of requests I have. =P Mares years updated to reflect those certificates done and sent out.
October 19, 2012---Updated some horses with pictures. Recieved several breeding requests. Working on typing up horses into new pedigree format so I can finish requests and get sent out. At this time, those requests that come in requesting parents that are already in the new format get completed and returned first.
My sister had her baby today, she'd been admitted last evening and they finally induced her this afternoon. A very big welcome to my new niece, Lillie Renee!

I've now added a Smoke (yes, something not stablemate scale..amazing, isn't it?!), an etched G4 Para and several OF G2 sms to my collection.

September 15, 2012---My uncle had two massive heart attacks yesterday. My mind was not on typing up certificates or updating the site. It was also my mother's birthday..what a way to spend the day.

Home now. This week wasn't much better than the last one. Way too much going on and my brain doesn't want to wrap around any one thing for long. I have breeding certificates for Kay Myers that need to get done I will be working on this week barring anything else happening.

April 4, 2012---PA'd 37 orphans for a friend of mine in the last couple of days. I think I need a break from that part of the hobby for a few days! And yes, call me crazy..come back from burnout and lets jump in feet first. Working on putting together another club, this one for classic scale only. Group made, classlist done (I think) and I'll be making class folders later tonight barring changes. The mini group will have it's third show soon and we've been adding at least one member a day for the last week, entries are growing.
April 3, 2012---Added several new horses. Helping a friend PA some orphans. Going to work on getting my Peruvian Paso models' pedigrees type up on saved on the computer if I get some time today. If I do I will get Peruvian Paso certificates out to those who requested them.
April 2, 2012---Couple of certificates sent today and mares years updated. Added a few random individual horses to pages.
April 1, 2012---Updated orphans page and mares years. ID'd a few orphans and added some horses to the MFT page and a Polish Arabian mare to the Arabian page. A tiny step forward but I just traded for more stablemates so I didn't really get anywhere! Weather hasn't been good enough for pictures, at least stablemate scale..way too windy when it is beautiful out. I have sooo many stablemates to either get first pictures of or redo very old pictures of them. I swear I'm ready to throw a hobby friend get-to-gether and have good food and beverages for those that will come help take hundreds of model pictures. =P MHU Mini Shows Anonymous is heading into its third full month, we've added new members in the last few weeks and I'm looking forward to the April show.
March 27, 2012 (7pm)---Created a Knabstrupper page, with one mare added. Other horses will be added soon, I need to id the models yet. New horses added to TWH and NASD pages. Going to attempt to work on id'ing some orphans tonight. Have added even more stablemates to my collection recently and two Lady Phases to my conga.
March 27, 2012 (3am)---I have a number of requests to get out to people and will have them done asap. MHU Mini Showers Anonymous has had it's second monthly show and SWS horses did great! My biggest winner was Unanimous who took CM Reserve Gender Champion, CM Color Champion, Sporthorse/WB Reserve Champion and CM Grand Champion.
March 13, 2012---Eileen O'Dell's request done and sent out. Mares years updated. I have some new horses to add and hope to get them asap.
March 11, 2012---Linda Ransom's request done and sent out (yesterday). Have some new horses to add thanks to Randa Garrett. Thank you, Randa! It's suppose to be nice most of this week so I hope to get some pictures done as long as it's not too windy to do the little guys. I started etching some this past week, I need to get more bodies to practice on but it gives me something artsy/crafty to do while I'm still waiting to get a work area set up so I can paint, customize and work on some bases too.
March 8, 2012---A lot going on at home at the moment so I'm a little behind on requests. Hard to concentrate on them right now. Have one request for Linda Ransom finished except to some tweeks to appearance and it will be emailed to her tomorrow. Then I will work on Eileen's. I need an inexpensive pedigree program as I lost my Pedigree Plus and all the information I'd had saved in it while going through my burnout.
February 29, 2012---Started work on the Morgan page. Many horses have been removed at this time as I decide who stays and who needs to be reid'd. New horses added to the page as well. The page is currently available to view. Several requests finished and certificates sent out.
February 26, 2012---Random horses have been added to the listing as I've gotten id's done for them. Recently finished judging the first MHU - Mini Showers Anonymous monthly POS show. Slowly updating pages here and working of my stable group on Facebook. Not all breed pages are up on here yet, like the Morgan. They will all be up soon.
February 13, 2012---Still need to get to Linda and Eileen's requests. Working on and off on the site, the club and getting horses id'd and pedigreed. Actually added a Traditional scale model to the collection this week. A SR Glossy Red Dun LP. Eventually I'll get around to Traditional scale model's photographs, right now I do not have the room to unpack them and get pictures. I have a couple boxes to ship in the next week and a few PS Trotting Drafters being paid for on time payments and will get shipped after paid for. Hope to pull out another box to sort through and decide who's getting sold and who's staying. I actually think I'm going to sell my PASs and my Semi Rearing Mustangs. One PAS is going out in one of the boxes to be shipped this week. After experiencing hobby burnout for so long it feels good to be excited about models again and enjoying working on the site, PA'ing models and putting together a club. I'm even looking forward to judging the club show this month.
February 5, 2012---Slowly working on the club with several friends. Starting to get judging volunteers and photos added to classes. Updated SWS's Orphan page by removing horses that have found parents. Picture taking for me will most likely have to wait for spring so new photo additions will be scarce for a few months yet. I may add a text only list to the page though as I've added a lot of stablemates to my collection lately. Going to attempt to work on some pedigree requests tomorrow. Eileen O'dell and Linda Ransom's first. Also, I posted further below but just a reminder..if you sent a request and did not get a certificate back from me you should resend your request, between flooding in September, a computer change and move I might have misplaced/lost some.
February 1, 2012---Took a break from the site for a bit. I don't want to force myself back into burnout. Started working on the Quarter Horse page this morning, it's currently a work in progress. Added a couple horses to ASB mares and NASDs pages before that. Removed a couple horses from the Orphans page. Are you on Facebook? Myself and a few of my friends have started MHU: Mini Showers Anonymous. We're still in the planning stages but classlist is currently finished and photo albums up. We should be ready for our first show shortly. Come check us out!
January 13, 2012---A couple of new horses added. Sent out a couple of pedigrees and sent one pedigree request. Started updating the Quarter Horses and will have the page up soon.
January 3, 2012---New horses added to the ASB mare page and a new horse added to the Standardbred page.
January 2, 2012---Certificates for Natasha Powers finished and emailed. Breeding Request done for Deborah Vince. Request was given via Facebook and waiting on email address to send the certificate to. Taking a break from breeding requests and site for the moment. Next on To Do list is Eileen O'dell's breeding request and working a little more on id'ing more orphans.
January 1, 2001---Happy New Year! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and recieved lots of new horses under your trees. :) Id'd and sent pedigree requests for several horses off my orphan list. Did up a few requests for parents and sent out certificates. Slowly plodding along with updates, requests and re-id'ing. **Currently working on ASB requests for Natasha Powers, Powers Farm FL.
End of December 2011---If you've sent me a request and have not heard back from me please feel free to email me again with a nudge reminder. In the last couple months I lost information on one computer, lost a lot of my hobby paperwork due to water getting in the basement floor of our house when it flooded here in September and I've moved. If you have not heard back from me with your certificate your request was probably lost. Please hit me up by resending the request.
December 29, 2011---Found some older pictures so have added more horses to the orphan page. Note: Pictures used for orphans page and/or individual horses on breed pages are not neccessarily show photos. Many are older pictures and will be used until I get updated pictures of my models.
December 28 2011---News page added to site.
December 24-25, 2011 (Late Add)---Started giving the site a new look/format. Please be patient as we update our pages!
