Coleal of Coleal Farms in Herald, California has been a BAEN Member since 2003.
"My mother brought me up on stories about the intelligence and beauty of the
Arabian horse," Rhoda recalls. "It was inevitable that some day I would own
Arabians". In last year's exciting All Nations Cup Arabian Horse Show in
Aachen, Germany, Eden C (bred by Coleal Farm, photo at right), won the Silver
Stallion award by scoring the highest total of points of all the stallions in
the show. The Coleal family's well-bred horses are popular with buyers around
the world, including Australia, Germany, Israel and Brazil.

  Many
horses love the taste of peppermint.
Try this yummy bran mash recipe to use up leftover candy canes, or get a head start on Valentine's Day with some hard
peppermint candies:
Peppermint Bran Mash
Ingredients: 1 cup crushed candy canes or hard peppermint candies; 3 to 5 cups bran; 1 tablespoon salt; 1 carrot, diced; 1 carrot, diced; 1/2 cup molasses; 2 cups sweet feed. Dissolve crushed candy in 2 to 3 cups of boiling water and let water
cool to warm. Then, mix all ingredients together except sweet feed in a feed
bucket. Add more warm water to make it soupy, rather than crumbly. Cover with
towel and let stand until cool. Right before serving, spread a thin layer of
sweet feed over the top and sprinkle on some crushed candy to garnish.
