Wild Lilly Wanderings
This page is dedicated to news, pictures, or any old ramblings by the Wild Lilly gang.
That's Lilly on the left there. You probably guessed that our farm is named after her. If you had one of those you'd probably name your farm after yours, too.

Tessapooh on the Ozark Trail
I have about a million pictures of Go Boy's Golden Contessa (Tessapooh or Pooh), who I have had basically since birth. You can access many of them from her description on the Our Horses page. These are some recent pictures of her on the trail that really show her personality. She and Lilly were hobbled for grazing at a break during our 16-mile ride. Pooh decided she would roll WITH the saddle, and WITH hobbles. Twice. The first time I ran over and she got right up. With the hobbles, no problem. A little later she tried it again, but this time when I ran over to get her up, she just laid there. So I sat down on her and began rubbing her. She lifted her head up to get a nice scratch on the face. That's my Pooh! Note also that she is being ridden with a rope hackamore (pretty much a halter and lead rope).
Wild Lilly's Guard and Trail Dog - Hula
Now doesn't she look just as sweet as a bug in a rug?
Don't let that angelic face fool you. Her growl would stop a freight train. It DOES scare off coyotes - even packs of 'em - mountain lions, and any other predator I can think of. I can't think of too many because I haven't seen one around the place since Hula took up residence. Now I think about it, I haven't seen a freight train either.
This dog is so tough, she was run over by the horse trailer with BOTH AXELS. Not only did she live to tell the story (or for me to tell it) but she didn't have a broken bone, or internal damage except a burst bladder. Now that's one tough nut to crack!
