💦 🛁 First bath day of the season! 🫧🧼
Finally a gorgeous double digit temperature day that’s full sun and not too windy, so a perfect day to bath horses! All 3 long yearlings (Falcon, Abby & Tira) and both weanlings (Ember & Mischief) had baths. Don’t look too closely at the light coloured ones Abby (cremello) & Tira (silver classic champagne) - they’re still rather beige looking! 😆

❄️ Important Horse Trailer PSA!! ❄️
Don’t forget to clear the snow out from around your horse trailers & tow vehicles!
I know everyone is probably exhausted & so sick of snow shoveling by now, but it’s super important to always have access to at least one horse trailer around the farm in case of an equine emergency! ⛑️
This old ‘trusty rusty’ trailer of ours is by far the least fancy of our horse trailers, but in case of an emergency it’s fast & easy to hook up, and very adaptable to meet the needs of a variety of different situations. We hope to never need it for an emergency, but should one arise it’s ready to go!

Today was a good day!
☀️ Sun came out to shine and it wasn’t too cold. Felt so very good to get out with our favorite ponies and trailer over to the Vivian Forest. Footing was fantastic.

**** 💥 Mystic has been SOLD 💥 ****
❓Looking for an AWESOME TRAIL HORSE DELUXE❓
[🎥Video links 🔗 below]
This is Mystic an 11yo black & white registered & certified Spotted Mountain Horse mare. She’s on the shorter side at ~14.3-15hh, but she’s built like a tank with big bone and strong legs & feet. She weighs in (on a weight scale) at 1050lbs.

Mystic is very brave, steady, not spooky, and willing. She can be ridden by most any level of rider. Mystic is very well gaited, super smooth, and has zero pace to her gait! She is big mover, with a ground covering walk, despite her shorter stature. She also has a lovely rocking horse canter as well. Mystic listens to her aids nicely; she leg yields around corners/trees on the trails, stops on a gentle rein and backs up easily. She will yield her hips and shoulders to seat and leg cues, and will offer simple step by step turns on the fore or haunches (she has never been taught do these at speed or spin).

Mystic is a very experienced trail horse. She has ridden a great variety of difficult, slippery and aggressive terrains. She’s sure-footed, solid minded, and reliable. Mystic doesn’t really have too much in the way of vices. She’s good for standing quietly at the mounting block (or rocks/logs on trail), rides out well alone and in groups, etc. Mystic is fully traffic broke, regularly ridden down traffic busy roads, and she’s also broke to ATVs and dirt bikes too. Mystic has done tons of trail obstacles/obstacle courses, bridges, water crossings, etc. Mystic has also begun training in gunfire desensitization and has been shot off of at both a walk & gait with .45cal blank rounds doing expo runs at Cowboy Mounted Shooting competitions.

Mystic is good for standing quietly in the crossties and when tied for long periods. She absolutely loves being bathed! Loads on all of our trailers no problem, and has lots of experience trailering. Mystic has camped and trail ridden all over. Mystic is a pretty reliable ride overall! 😉

Mystic is medium-low on the pecking order. She’s not picked on and doesn’t come in with wounds, but she usually yields to the bossier horses. Mystic is definitely not mare-ish! Most Mountain Horse mares are actually rarely mare-ish, IMO, and Mystic is no exception. Most times you would not even realize where she is at in her cycle unless you are purposely teasing her with a stallion. [I get asked this question a lot by prospective buyers]

Mystic is healthy, up to date on all vaccinations & deworming, and has never had any health issues in all of the years we’ve owned her. She is quiet and well behaved for the vet and farrier, standing nicely however long you need. Her feet are trimmed regularly, every 6-7 weeks, and she has amazing strong, hard, healthy bare feet. Mystic is also an amazing mother, and has had 2 absolutely gorgeous foals for us (in 2022 & 2024). She was easy to breed (caught the first time, each time), foaled out easily without any complications, and is the prefect balance of fiercely protective mother from predators but letting people do anything they need to with her baby. Mystic was in regular riding work before, during and after each baby. Just taking a couple months off at the end of each pregnancy and the first 60 days after foaling, then back to riding. So she is in decent shape already, despite having had a baby this past spring, and since her baby was weaned a while back Mystic is already back to traveling all about to go camping and trail riding.
