It's a pretty special feeling to go one and two for the AQHA 2023 High Points for Saskatchewan in Open, Amateur and Select L3 with both mares that were shown last year. The mares additionally won Open L3 Junior Mare and Open L3 Senior Mare High Point Championships.

The past few days have been very hard here. Yesterday afternoon, SIRTAINLY SIERRA (2005-2024) was laid to rest here on the farm.
Diesel has been a part of the lives of many people, whether through ownership, his show career or through his offspring. Although he was only here for a short 2.5 years of his life, he lived it to the fullest with a select group of mares and definitely being spoiled.
He truly was a softy at heart and loved to get treats of apples or carrots along with a good scratch.
Diesel, you definitely stole my heart.
RIP my big boy.

Currently -35C with a high of -30C forecast for tomorrow and then back to some more normal temperatures. Much better than the -48C we had a day ago with the wind chill. Pretty happy that we have made it through this cold weather with only one issue, main breaker decided it no longer wanted to work. Luckily we were back in business by the end of the day, thanks to Sarnia Electric/Craik Hardware.
Diesel and the girls are quite content with their blankets and lots of hay.

Baby "JADE" is growing like a w**d and definitely is an in your pocket filly.
Sire: SIRTAINLY SIERRA
Dam: GUNSLINGINANNIE
Photos taken today at 24 days old. Today was farrier day and she found that the farriers were really good at entertaining her while mom was trimmed. Even she took a couple of rasps. I guess I need to put a halter on her soon...lol.

It is so cool when you are contacted about one of your old foals. Today a lady contacted me about a 20 year old mare that she just acquired. Last daughter of Red Jet Sets Joy by Zips Famous Amos.
