For the Love of Animals

The Northwest Horse Source staff loves animals.  Of course we love horses, but we also love dogs, cats, and for me personally, sheep.

My passion outside of horses is dogs.  I breed and show Belgian Tervurens,  a herding breed.  My passion for doing things with my dogs led me to purchase sheep for them to 

herd since I figured they needed a job to do. The breed of sheep I fell in love with was Highland Scottish Blackfaced sheep, aka "Scotties."

Last year I gave reined cow horse work a try. I really enjoy it, and once I get my mare, Dancer, healed up I hope to pursue the sport further...which means I will probably be looking into owning a few cows so my horse can have a job.

How many of our readers have gotten pets for your  pets?  Drop me a line at Karyn@nwhorsesource.com or use our comments section here to share stories of the animals you love.

In the meantime, have a great weekend and get out and ride!
