Risky Business, the extremely talented carting
rookie at Honey Creek Ranch has returned to training after a 30 day lay off
due to his recent change in status from Stallion to Gelding. Risky's workout was
slow paced and lasted for about 30 minutes but showed he still had it in him.
When ask by this reporter after his work out how he felt, he said, boy those up
hill pulls were hard but I will get in shape for the 2008 show circuit.

the
temperature reaching 80 degrees in mid-afternoon when Herman, a 5 foot
alligator decided to rise to the surface of his pond at Honey Creek Ranch
Texas and surprise the hell out of ranch owners, Ron and Rosemary Russell.
Ron, of course, wanted to keep him. After all, how many people can say they
have a 5 foot alligator on their farm. Rosemary, showing more common sense,
put her foot down and let it be know that she was calling Texas State
Wildlife in the morning to have them trap and remove old Herman. I still
think he should be left alone but quickly found out who the boss of this
place is.

Progress on the new house at Honey Creek is ahead of schedule and ranch owners Ron and Rosemary Russell are in high hopes they can move into the new home before Thanksgiving Holiday which is normally the third Thursday in November. The move will eliminate a dutiful 12 mile round trip between the current home and the ranch which is traveled 3 to 5 times daily. Also it will allow them more time with the horses. |

- New foal launched!
Tennessee Walking Horse mare
Stardust Gold gave birth to a beautiful stud colt. The colt's father is Armed Son of a Gun whom is a beautiful palomino Stud who was
World Champion Modeling Horse in 2003. Only one day old at the time of this news flash, it is too early to tell but if he is like any of the other colts that Armed Son of a Gun has thrown, his chances are good for going places in the show world. No name has been selected for registration but ranch personnel are already calling him Shooter so I assume that will be his barn name. |

- New foal launched! -
Tennessee Walking Horse mare
Generators
Diamonds and Lace gave birth to a long legged black and white spotted stud colt
that to date has shown a lot of promise both in his looks, gait and personally.
The new stud colt was sired by Paints Cotton who currently is standing stud at
Walkers West in Terrell Texas. Paints Cotton is a 16 hand black and white
spotted stud that any Tennessee Walker fan would be proud to own and I am sure
this offspring of his will be the same. We call the little one Cotton after his
dad but are still looking for an appropriate name for registration. |

September 9, 2007 - New foal launched!
There is a new little filly at Honey Creek Ranch. She was born Sept. 8, 2007.
Her Dam is
Frankly My Dear (Franky) who is a Prides Generator and Pusher mare,
and her sire is Generators Charmer, the great stud at
Walkers West. It was noticed from the beginning that this little filly has a very natural gait
in her movement that must come from her sire.
We have no name yet but would love any suggestions. We are calling her Star
because of the little star on her face but we are requesting Generators Morning
Star or Honey Creeks Morning Star as her formal registered name. |
