Tucker boy!
So last night after some grooming, Ayla, Tucker and I went for a little stroll in the paddock! Tucker loves this mare and they are never very far apart! I got to work on some liberty stuff with Ayla, and Tucker acted like he had been then second liberty horse his whole life!! The last few weeks, Tucker has really packed on some pounds thanks to the hard work and dedication of the staff at the barn with his multiple feedings a day! We are really working on another 45-50 lbs for this guy to help him through winter! In the meantime! Enjoy the cutest little bond between these two love birds š
Spent some time in the dry lot with these ponies tonight! We have the best little herd around š Ayla the liberty pony, and little buddy just being the best pony there is!!!
Tucker
Tucker really is the sweetest little guy! Always looking for kisses and scratches! Today he enjoyed some paddock free grazing while water troughs filled, and showed us the perfect example as to why he struggles to hold weight. Everything he chews he spits out simply due to his lack of teeth. :( poor guy!
Yesterday Mr Samson got treated to PEMF! Itās clear from this video we have lots to work on! He really enjoyed his session and we are hoping to do weekly treatments until we see significant improvement!
Dinner time!!!
Suzie Q was moved back to the dirt pen today after the last month of being on pasture, and she was NOT impressed with having to eat from a hay net again!!!
These nets are life savers in many ways. Not only do they prevent virtually all hay waste, they help control weight, and help when it comes to horses with heaves.
Hereās hoping Suzieās patience will prevail and she wonāt chew through the net!!!
Susie Q
Letās just take a minute to appreciate what some calm energy, a little patience, and the right environment can do for a horse!!!
Suzieās and I have spent extra time in the round pen the last week or so, and itās really paying off!
I have watched this little mares anxiety melt away! I have removed the pressure of riding and focused on ground work and bonding.
Please enjoy a little clip from tonightās session š
Letās find our Dream a home!!! This boy is dying for his own human to spoil him! Loves to follow you around, always up for a play date, secretly loves to cuddle, and a personality on him for days!!!! Think you have it in you to provide a forever home? Let us know!!
Dream is really enjoying his under saddle training and I am so excited to see him become the best version of himself in the hands of the right rider! Heās a project suited to an intermediate-advanced rider. Suited to trail and light flat work. I would not recommend him to a lesson or jumping/performance home.
If dream sounds like your dream horse please reach out!!!
From terrified to triumphant!! Great progress was made with Dream today! This boy is smart and willing and is going to make a lovely riding mount!
Enjoy the air show happening behind us!!! It was also a great tool to be utilized during training!
Letās just take a moment to appreciate how sound and comfortable this cutie is now that sheās got shoes?!? Sheās due for a reset on the 24th. After which we will be start her on an regular exercise program and get her started back under saddle. I am šÆ comfortable placing her in a proper home that can continue with her farrier work and proper diet!
Whereās all my standardbred lovers?!) boy do I have a treat for you!!
Yesterday the horses got their excitement when the crop dusters were out! Everyone is safe, everyone is fine! I welcome things like this around here, itās such a good desensitization tool! Take note that the highest anxiety horse (lady, whoās wearing the fly sheet) is the only one not hyped up!!!
Chance did big boy things last night!!! We decided to try a bath for the first time and he quickly decided the extra attention was exactly what he wanted!! Followed by a big roll in the sand of course!!
Our Babylon Bea had her first under saddle experience in nearly 3 years and absolutely adored every minute of it! This girl still has a journey ahead of her when it comes to healing her foundered feet, but we wanted to test her out and we were very happy with her!
Yes this mare is available, no she is not available to an inexperienced home, or a home who is going to allow her to be on pasture. A knowledgeable home is required.
Cricket has been an absolute star in his exercise program! He really seems to love having a job, and his first saddle experience (in our care) was a great one!!
This is a long one, but an important step! The last few days activities have had us using a twitch to get things done safely and efficiently, which has not left a good taste in his mouth when it comes to working around his face. Unfortunately this is not making it easy to do meds, so we are starting from scratch, allowing him to make mistakes and rewarding when he does something good! He will come around and we will continue to work on him! But for now, we will take it slow. Enjoy!!!
