New Motherhood ♥

Mirabella arrived safely and walked into the barn with her head held high. ♥  She really is quite the princess.  This was during their first few moments together. Mirabella did the cute baby thing... opening and closing her mouth over and over, saying "I'm a baby."   This photo makes me so emotional - in a joyful way... I am so happy for Paloma. She will be such a good new mommy to baby Mira... I just know it...

And what this photo represents... it's even more proof that blood isn't all that important.

Paloma ♥

My beautiful Paloma... she was my first horse and will always be so special to me. It feels so good to have her so close again... and as we waited, I realized that Paloma will be helping to raise little Mirabella. She will be her new horse mommy! So here she is, waiting for the little princess to arrive. We have a plan to keep them close but separate and to take things very slow (and safe). Paloma is a sweet mare and pretty passive too... I think this will work out nicely. ♥ So I now need to decide... do I start keep writing here on Willow's blog? Or should I start a new blog for Princess Mirabella?

Waiting for Mirabella

I am so excited for Mirabella to arrive! I put pink hydrangea in the barn for her arrival... I feel almost like an expectant mother! And I'm super excited to have Paloma back in the pasture closest to our house. She and Mirabella will be together. And The Prince will be with Charlie. We've been wanting to separate mares and geldings for a while, so this will be good. Mirabella... Mira like miracle. I think that's what I'll call her... Mira. ♥
