Apparently it’s national dog day today. Cai and Cracker were the very best of friends. I know I have photos of the two of them somewhere but I just can’t get to them at this moment. However … here’s Cai. He was a once in a lifetime dog just as Cracker is a once in a lifetime horse. Cheers to all our very best and favourite critters! 🥂🥂❤️

Cracker would say hello but he’s too busy enjoying breakfast and the warm weather. 😎

So if anyone is wondering gosh… will my Crumb make a good ranch horse? This is Cass. He’s an Appendix Crumb and is a worker bee…. And he’s not the only one! They all do an awesome job at whatever they are asked to do from ranch work to barrel racing, reining to teaching your grandkids to ride.

One of Cracker’s adventures to get the joints moving.
Yesterday was spa day!

Edit to add: Apologies that the additional photos are not uploading with this post.

Well I think I should announce the arrival of a lovely bay roan Cracker Crumb! He arrived yesterday morning and has all the makings to be a looker!

If you’re having (or have had!) a Crumb this year show us your pictures!

Dinner time!!!!!

Getting a bit less angular which is nice to see. He’s managing to put the pounds on AND enjoy summer in California! 🏖️

Honestly I’d love to be enjoying summer in California … but I’d like to be taking the pounds off… 😄

Thanks to Sara Sriracha Dechance for this gorgeous photo. He’s eating like a champion and enjoying the warmth of summer!

Sara is a professional photographer and yes … has a great sense of humour.

This page was originally put here to discuss my horses. My current stallion, Polly Had A Cracker, his offspring, and the horses who have previously graced me - and the rest of you - with their presence.

It is not here for people to try to start hate campaigns, name names, point fingers or otherwise try to stir up crap. I have never made accusations or told lies on here, and I will not start now. I will, however, be deleting people who insist upon doing so. I have recently removed some comments that mention other names in a negative connotation because that is not how things are done here.

Kindly abide by these rules and if you wish to discuss anything with me personally you are welcome to use the private message feature.

Enjoying the shade … having a drink and checking out the new digs. Thanks Sara for the photo!

He made it. Such a long day for his poor driver while he lounged in the comfort of his box stall! 😁

HUGE thanks to Justina and Northern Horse Transport for looking after him so well! He arrived groomed from head to toe, well hydrated despite the heat, with good feed in front of him the whole way. Thank you thank you thank you!!

Now he can start the next chapter of his adventure. 😎

06/21/2024

Good morning folks! Happy Friday! Last day on the road and C will be arriving at his new home in time for dinner!

While Cracker wends his way south… here’s a little interlude for you. This c**t, Chaco, is a 2023 Cracker Crumb, living his best life at Mossy Creek Ranch. Isn’t he something? 😍

06/20/2024

Well there’s nothing wrong with a wee picnic during your travels across country now is there? 😁

06/19/2024

Breakfast!!!! 😁

Huge thanks to Northern Horse Transport for looking after Cracker so well on his journey south. 💝

06/18/2024

Well my beautiful boy Cracker has started the journey to his new home. Should be there in two days and judging by the weather reports I’ve been getting from Alberta… he’ll be more than happy to see the California sun!! I know I wish I was going with him!! ☀️ 😎

Just a little throwback memory. This is Cracker’s dam Polly with her last foal, Reign, born 14 years ago. She’s a gorgeous dunskin filly who I still have the pleasure of hanging out with periodically. Mares put up with a lot of shenanigans. 😉

05/12/2024

Happy Mom’s Day to all of my Mom friends in cyberland. I hope you all have a wonderful day being celebrated! 🌺 🥂

If you’ve ever wondered … could I really breed my APHA mare to Cracker? Well yes. Yes you can. Could the foal be registered? Of course! Crackers Northern Way has just received his APHA papers. Do feel free to add your mare to Cracker’s roster for APHA, AQHA, ABRA or FQHR registered foals!

Spring is coming … let’s review just a few of the amazing Crumbs we’ve had over the years. You know you want one … 😉

02/02/2024

A friend of mine is selling her lovely 2022 APHA filly Britton. I’ll post her information here and if anyone is interested please PM me and I will put you in touch with her.

“Britton is a lovely 2022 APHA Reg Palomino Overo filly. Due to changing life circumstances is available to a great, caring new person.
She was shown as a weanling and yearling, earning a championship and cheque already.
She is beautiful, smart, willing, and ready to be started lightly.
She has been saddled and didn't blink an eye. Loves having a job. Take her Reining, Penning, Trail, or in Ranch classes and be the best looking pair out there.
Great to clip, bathe and for the farrier.
I expect her to mature about 15.2 hh, 5 panel clean and Hz W20.
Asking five five hundred and will take payments. I just want her to see her find the best home that will bring out all her potential.”

Welcome to 2024! I apologise that I’ve been unusually silent. Many things have transpired in my world and I have not been on line much. Cracker and I wish all of you an incredible 2024. 🥂

Just think… 365 new mornings to choose happiness, select new opportunities, create new adventures and relish in brand new moments. 🍿😍

We wish all of you an incredible and exciting year ahead. So many changes on the horizon, let’s celebrate our victories and our accomplishments together. 🎆

More photos of Chaco. Very thankful to High Bar Ranch for allowing me to share their photos of him! I always love watching the Crumbs grow up. 😄

10/26/2023

Lovely to have some more photos of Chaco coming into fall! Can you tell who his daddy is? 😉

08/11/2023

You’ve always wanted a chromed up bay roan now haven’t you?? Meet Skittles, 4mos old now. And yes, he’s for sale. 😊

07/16/2023

I think we need some pics of the 2023 fillies!!
Skor - solid dark bay (ooooh my favourite colour!)
Twix - the lovely palomino.

They’re younger than the c**ts, so a little smaller at this point, but nobody said they were slow! 😉
The girls are also for sale at weaning!! Maybe you need one of each? 😁

07/13/2023

The 2023 c**ts.

*Nibs - the lovely mini Cracker
*Skittles - the flashy bay who seems to be turning into a bay roan!

Don’t forget … they’re all for sale and would love to go home with you after weaning! 😁

07/11/2023

Don’t all older brothers pester their little sisters? 😉
Nibs making sure Twix doesn’t have a nap.

06/29/2023

Some foal pics. Just … because. 😊
