More fun training this evening! Cupid got some more ground work, played with the tarp, ridden a bit more ba****ck, then got to try on the saddle and bridle while lunged and hanging out at there hitching rail. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures but he looks quite handsome all tacked up! I’ll do better tomorrow.

We also decided to grab our Amber Champagne American Cream Draft/Percheron cross gelding Thor and work with him a little too. He was really lightly started last Summer after he was gelded and then turned out to do some more growing. He’s a big, thick, gorgeous boy now and definitely ready to get to work. He got a refresher in lunging, played with the tarp and then Brad did just a little sitting on his back with the halter and lead rope.

Both of these guys are so easy to work with, we will have them both going under saddle by the end of the week and on the trails the week after that!

Who is looking for that unicorn of a beginner safe horse?

Buckshot is a grade black and white paint gelding that is 13 years old. We’ve owned him since he was 9 and bought him from one of my husband’s Horseshoeing clients who’d had him since he was 4. He stands about 14.2-14.3h. He is great on trails, no vices and easy to catch in the big pasture. He has done some 4H classes and some fun games but not a finished gaming horse by any means. He moves off legs pressure and will neck rein, though my daughter uses a direct rein with him. He’s sound and goes barefoot but does well with shoes too if we are going to be riding a bunch of gravel roads. He does well sitting in the pasture for long periods too and doesn’t need lunged or anything before hand. Just hop on and go. He’s not a dead head, he will step right out, especially if he’s trying to keep up with our faster horses. He does like to trot to keep up. He will easily w/t/c as well but slows right down when asked too. He does well in the arena for lessons or just playing around too. He was a great confidence builder for my daughter when she was a more timid rider. Now she has enough confidence to trot and canter around because of Buckshot and now loves to with her new mare. He is only available because our daughter moved up to a new horse and he is really too nice to just be sitting, plus we have too many. At the same time, he doesn’t HAVE to go anywhere, so a good home is a must. 🥕7500 🥕 He is UTD on vaccinations, hoof care, deworming and had his teeth floated last year. His coggins from last year is close to expiring, so we will provide a new one with a health cert for traveling to his new pasture. We are located near Brandon, Iowa and I can help with transportation to his new pasture for the cost of fuel.

Our gorgeous homebred gelding Cupid is getting started under saddle! Brad is putting the first week on him and then Colton Sojka is going to help put some serious miles on him on the trails this Summer :)

He is a silver grulla for those wondering his color 🤩

373 days… a year and a week later and we have an enormous beautiful bay Warlander filly from Angelita! This gorgeous girl is by our Friesian stallion Grumello TTF and mama is an Andalusian. Both are doing well! 🥰

Added a photo of her next to Camille, our very tall 6 year old daughter to help show how huge she is 😳

I’d made a trip to Northern Idaho this week to pick up this gorgeous American Cream Draft mare!

Everyone meet Honey 🍯 🐝

She is homozygous champagne and will be crossed with both our Friesian stallion Grumello TTF and American Cream Draft stallions to help continue adding to the breed. She has a rarer bloodline so we are going to do our best to make it more prolific and ensure it continues. We plan to utilize embryo transferring with her to produce multiple foals each year :)

Fun fact! Honey is the dam to the first ever American Cream Draft foal born via ET. So we’ve got a history maker here on the farm now! Thank you so much to Corson Creams for such a lovely mare!

Hynder had a gorgeous full Friesian c**t in the early morning hours last Monday. He had a rough start from a combo of being 3 weeks overdue, legs a mile long, a chilly morning birth and a first time mama. So him and Hynder spent his first few days at Abraham’s vet clinic where he got some fluids and antibiotics as well as a feeding tube until him and Hynder figured out the whole nursing thing. She was just so in love with him, she didn’t understand why he shouldn’t be right by her face. He came home a few days later and is getting stronger every day. He is a sweet and curious boy we have dubbed “Buckle” for now.

I’m going to be making this trip sometime next week May 6th starting in Eastern Iowa heading West to Northern Idaho and back to Eastern Iowa. 2-3 spots heading out and 1-2 spots heading back. It’s a private haul so very affordable rates. I do take regular breaks and do layovers every night where the horses can get out and move around.

Baby girl spam! Still no new babies so thought I’d post some more of our first gorgeous girl. This filly is all legs still but learning how to really use them! Still figuring out a name for her but loving how she’s unfolding!

Welp, Miss Hynder was due on the 6th and Miss Angelita is due today and neither are showing any imminent signs of giving up the goods yet. So more sleepless nights for me :)

But breeding season is in full swing now! Grumello has had his first mare friend for the season here for a bit and has another showing up soon. We typically have our girlies visit him in May/June for warmer weather foals.

Anyone need some farm fresh beautifully colored eggs from our spoiled hens? We are getting overloaded!

These come unwashed and layed with in the last week so don’t need to be refrigerated. They should be washed before using and must be used or refrigerated after washing, just like your store bought eggs.

Unwashed- mostly clean $3/dozen
Unwashed- barnyard “dirty” $2/dozen

Brad can bring them with if he’s coming for some hoof work already or picked up at our farm near Brandon. Just message the page or let him know ahead of time to bring them with!

We are getting closer to our first foals for 2024 arriving!

All of our lovely girls expecting this year are bred to our amazing hunk of a Friesian stallion Grumello TTF- Purebred Friesian Stallion.

Hynder is first and due 4/6 with a purebred Friesian, Angelita is next on 4/10 with a Warlander and Georgia is after her due on 4/13 with another Warlander. We get a bit of a break after that with Hazel not being due until 6/26 with a full subling to last years knock out silver dapple c**t Magnus and then our KWPN mare Image Byu is our last for the year and due on 7/11!

Byu was just checked again yesterday after being spotted flirting with Grumello a few times over the winter but our amazing vet assured us her baby was doing good (and even was kicking/biting while being checked over 😝 ). So she’s just a harlot and a tease 😂.

We are in the daily b***y check phase for our first three mares due now but not losing any sleep yet thank goodness. As of tomorrow, the first three will have entered their “safe foaling zone” so we can breathe a little bit easier.

I’ll post more updates as each mare gets closer and when their precious babies arrive!

It's official! We will be standing our gorgeous 3 year old Spotted Draft Stallion to the public this year. Starting with Live Cover only but hoping to get him collecting to offer shipped semen before this season is over.

Add some brain, bone and color to your foals! This talented stallion not only provides a sound, trainable mind, in your pocket temperament, balance build and solid bone, he also is a guaranteed color producer!

Foals will be eligible for registration with the Spotted Draft Horse Registry, the International Draft Sport Horse Registry as well as several other color based registries!

Grumello is so chill, he doesn’t need anyone to hold him while his feet get done… though he does stare me down bc he’d rather me be giving him good scratches than cleaning stalls 😂

We are sending his first year of foals to their new homes now and I couldn’t be happier with how they’ve developed, how easily they learned all their baby basic skills and how friendly and curious they all are. We are taking bookings for breeding in 2024 now!
