2011 Hunks & Horses Calendar Coming Soon
Photography for the 2011 calendar is in progress. We have been to Pantano Stables and Guevavi Ranch. Planned locations to come are Pusch Ridge Stables and 77 Arena.
A farrier is a blacksmith who specializes in the management, care, and protection of horses' hooves. The tradition of protecting horses' hooves dates back to the earliest relationship between human beings and horses, but the nailed on shoe probably dates to sixth or seventh century Europe. Some of our horses wear four shoes, some wear only two, and some are "barefoot."
Even a shoeless horse must have regular hoof care from a qualified farrier. Our farriers are critical to our commitment to the health and well-being of our horses.
Sue Dalebroux's "Post Parade" Blog" out of Texas, carries a nice entry about our 2010 calendar and our selected rescue, HEART. She's still looking for Mr. September, and this year, it looks like she snagged him for her blog.
Sue gave us some nice coverage in 2009,
as did Fran Jurga in her Hoof Blog.
Gina Keesling, at Hoofprints.com, included us in her newsletter.

501(c)3, horse rescue dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of horses.
Swingin' SaddleBabes is a partnership of western women who love horses and everything associated with them.
Our mission is twofold: to honor the tradition of the cowboy farrier and to promote proper care and well-being of horses through the support of facilities that rescue abused and abandoned horses.
The idea for the Hunks & Horses Calendar sprang from hours spent watching dedicated farriers. Our admiration and appreciation for these tireless workers who keep our horses' hooves in proper shape has no bounds. Shoeing horses is not an easy task, and our farriers never let us down.
Please contact us anytime! We look forward to hearing from you.
