Trixie is getting ready for her big day out.

Tomorrow, the Fourth of July, she'll be starring in the parade through our local town of Kanab, Utah.

Trixie is a mini-horse. She came here, in part, to be a companion to Luna, a mini-horse who had been run over and was rushed to the sanctuary for emergency care and surgery. Once Luna had started to recover, we discovered what a badly-behaved girl she was! So Trixie's job was to help her learn her manners. It's debatable, at this point in time, who's taught whom what. J

Anyway, Trix likes doing all kinds of interesting things, so here she is with Linda Alvey, practicing for the Fourth of July parade.

Behind them in that photo above, incidentally, and tucked away next to that big cottonwood tree, is our mailing office. All your delightful mail and donations land there. Thanks for sending them!

You can see how tiny Trixie is as she and Linda go past some of the other horses.

And here she is getting a general rub-down and beauty treatment.
