CAITLANHERGRTNESS the filly wins the 165th King's Plate. Her Majesty must be smiling from above. This is the oldest continuous stakes race in North America. It was rescheduled due to horrible racing conditions last week. Today it was all about the filly beating the boys!

ANOTHER fun morning at the farm with my senior volunteers. Here Donna shines up Twist for Bonnie, while Margaret and Lynette lead the horses out to pasture. Opal stands guard over his domain.

FLASHBACK... The wonderful Trillium Arioso.
21/08/2024
HAPPY International Senior's Day to all my volunteers and senior riders/owners. The Trillium Order of Equine Companions has seen 30 senior volunteers enter our program. Your help with the elder horses and general duties on the farm has been immeasurable. Thank you.

AND now we wait. The last of our second cut trying to dry under sunny but cool skies. A few more days yet.
21/08/2024
TOOK this video with one hand and led Traveler up to the mounting platform with the other, where he perfectly aligns himself now. He's such a cool dude.

PRECIOUS update... Down to wearing a support bandage, Precious has been turned out after a week of stall rest. Her tendon is still sore, but she is weight-bearing and moving fairly well. She has been quiet in the paddock with just a couple of friends for company. She continues to improve.
This morning my kind neighbour who worked on the farm driveway last month, came in with a bountiful amount of tomatoes to share with the barn folk. It's wonderful to have good neighbours and community. *Pic of a young Hayley up on Precious. She was her beginner mount and now owns Libby.

CAPTURED at 3 Day Eventing, Zoey the red chestnut Thoroughbred mare I started here at Trillium as a 3 year old when I was still training horses, shines for the late Dr. Morrison's son, Trevor. Harry would be so proud. Photo credit to Teresa Finnerty who is a professional photographer and owned Morgan horses as well. (Permission given to use her photos.)

WE had a visitor last night. It's been 13 years since Darlene was last here. Her grand mare Legend's Morning Glory (aka Glory) is now 24 and retired. A few pics from their time here at Trillium.

FIRST LESSON ... Georgia received several hugs from Breezy tonight. She will be back for more lessons. I think Breezy misses all the attention from her students. She's had a bit of a rest these past couple of months.
20/08/2024
THUMBS UP for Kristen and Big Al. Moved up yet again in the ranks. A clean round and placing 3rd and 4th respectively.

AN element of realism was felt last night, as the movie played out on the big screen to a darkened arena and stable. The rolling thunder of hooves and screams of whinnies coming from the loud speakers, where answered in kind by the stable residents. The popcorn machine popped away as we settled down to watch in our lounge chairs, as the rain fell outside. We did suffer a technical glitch near the end but for the most part, everyone enjoyed Movie Night at the Stable.

BUSTLING barn of horse groomers and helpers this morning! Joining us for the first time was Marianne. I recognized her. Probably was on the same show circuit as we were years ago. According to Lynette who invited her to join our senior volunteer group, said and I quote, "She was on cloud nine after." Our most senior senior Sheila was back again today, fluttering about thoroughly enjoying her time.

MAIN loft in stable finished. Crew heading off to the hay barn to unload the rest. Nathan, Ryland and Zayda were my hay crew hands today.
16/08/2024
WOW! A lot of volunteers this morning to assist with chores while the hay wagons got unloaded.
16/08/2024
DUCKIES, Frick and Frack can have the occasional treat. Ducks are very social critters and our two pet ducks enjoy their swims and waddle around the aisle. Please ask before you feed. We don't want them having too many. If so inclined to bring duck treats, here is a guide to what is good and not good for ducks to have. Alternatively, you can feed them dandelions, clover. If you want to bring lettuce, only Romaine lettuce please (no iceberg lettuce.)
16/08/2024
FIRST of 3 wagons of second cut to be unloaded in the morning. It's a start.
15/08/2024
THE volunteers were busy grooming horses this morning. Another turnstile moment at the farm.
15/08/2024
LITTLE Ava gets a chance to help groom LE this morning before helping with feed. She had a nice visit to the farm this morning. Her older brother rides back in Germany. I can see riding lessons in the cards for Ava.
15/08/2024
NOT a parking space to be had this morning with all the seniors and visitors attending to help get the chores done before haying this afternoon. Unfortunately, the hay is not dry enough for baling today so everything is on hold for tomorrow. Let's pray it doesn't rain before we get it in!
15/08/2024
WE had a young visitor today from Germany. What a great opportunity for her to travel to Canada and spend some time with Grandma. The long-ago copy of Phar Lap I have, was lent to them to view. It is in German so she was delighted to be able to watch the movie in her first language. Grandma asked her to read out the cover writeup in German which she did.
15/08/2024
MOVIE NIGHT at the farm this Friday. Welcoming boarders, students, seniors and their families. Bring a comfortable chair and something to drink. Popcorn will be popping.
15/08/2024
A HAWK keeps watch as Bob raked the field today. Hopefully, a good omen.
15/08/2024
LET'S try it again! Second cut hay (first field) ready for baling tomorrow.
15/08/2024
MY senior volunteers and Julie helped clear the paddock of some burdocks and wild cucumber vines. Here Tia holds a whole bunch of vines she removed by hand. Julie used her knife to cut the burdocks down and remove them from the pasture.

TREATING 31 year old Precious this morning.
15/08/2024
GAVE Precious a good rub of green cool gel today before rewrapping her leg. Still quite puffy but a little bit more mobile on it.

Breezy & the Duckies
Frick and Frack enjoy their bath tonight as Breezy looks on. (sound on)
LawnMower
GOOFY Bob decided to show off as he waited for the outdoor work arena to be cleared so he could cut the grass. I think he was a little wound up for too long riding that thing and just kept spinning in circles.
Sponge Test
AFTER completing a mile at the trot doing a 2 point to rising trot, Marilyn took up the challenge of the sponge test. She didn't drop a sponge! Getting her very athletic for her new horse.
Mr. Chips
MANAGED to pull this one off my phone from tonight's training session. (sound on)
Traveler under saddle
HE takes it all in stride. Traveler today. Such a good man.
Traveler
PREPARING Traveler for the mounting platform today. Mr. calm and cool took to his training session with ease.
Hank & Opal
HANK dropped by tonight to visit the horses. He's six month's old now and growing in leaps and bounds. Opal enjoyed the company too.
birthday ride
A BIRTHDAY ride to celebrate. Whisper wore her hat the entire evening without complaint.
Haying 2024
AND the screech of the elevator as the bales thump their way up to the loft can be deafening.
Farm Dogs
FARM DOGS, Summer and Clipper share a paddock with the horses. Best life a dog could have.
WEEKEND
JULIE kept the pictures coming in my absence.
Waterway
WATERWAYS in the barn and arena. A cleanup mess.
Beginning
THE beginning of the flood. Brendan works hard to try and push the water out but you just can win a battle with Mother Nature.
Delivery
BRENDAN directs the delivery guy this morning during the pouring rain. We had to unload our very expensive order of wood pellets into the arena which was also flooding. At least they sit on pallets and were placed in the only dry area left. Although the shed was dry where they are normally stored, a rain river ran fast an furious by it causing the machine to sink pretty deep. What a morning!
MONSOON
AND the monsoon rain falls and continues to fall. The barn and arena have flooded. Had to move Whisper to dryer headquarters. Unbelievable rain with lightning and thunder. It is still raining 3 hours later. (sound on for full effect)
