Excellent quote, and why I only will train with and for people who understand and agree that training is based on the horse's time schedule. The "basics" are so important and training is about building the horse's confidence. There are days that the horse's answer is "no" and working through that, finding a way to push them past their comfort zone so that they say "I'll try" is the trickiest, but most rewarding part of training horses, and sometimes we have to acknowledge that they aren't ready or suited for what we want to do. Then the days that it clicks and everything falls into place and it suddenly becomes easy, when they can do the fancier stuff, makes all the hours of the basics and miles of ground work so worth it.

Stop in and take a tour of the barn, meet the goats (Delilah, Zulee and Clementine).

It'll be a fun day, rain or shine, plenty of parking (handicap parking available behind the back of the barn). We love dogs, but please leave them at home for this event, if they are travelling with you, please leave them in your car with the windows cracked, as they can get too excited around the horses and may spook the horses, many of the horses will be handled by youth, thanks for understanding!

It was Spring Vet visit time at NorthWoods Farm yesterday! Dental work, lameness evaluation on B (she checked out fantastic for a 16 year old!), shots, copper for the goaties (no pictures but we were super successful 😆) Q (the steer) got his shots with no problem. Coggins will be back and it will be show season before we know it! Tiko (the mustang) had a fantastic first vet experience in PA. Thanks to Laurel Highland Veterinary Clinic Dr. Allison Dotzel and vet tech Cassidy Kutza for always taking such fabulous care of all our animals!

A little fun with some of the critters after NorthWoods Photography was done taking Easter Bunny Portraits. Happy Gotcha Day to Tiko, can't believe it's been a year! He was the bravest of the bunch. Thanks Debbie Gutosky for being my Bunny.

Postponed, please read details

Update: Unfortunately Friday night's snow was too little,too late for this weekend.It was already postponed and the lateness doesn't allow us to finalize important issues for this type of event. Event is still postponed, please stay tuned for future possibilities.

Unfortunately, Dushore only received a coating of snow Tuesday, which has since melted. Only an inch has been forecasted for the rest of the week. The Endless Mountains Sleigh Rally has been postponed until further notice. There will now be a swing date, to be determined the week of for the following weekend, the weekend will be determined by snow and availability of sleighs and coordinators, possible dates will be through the end of March. If you have a horse and sleigh and would like to compete and would like to be on the contact list please message here or Kristin Gutosky. Updates will be posted on this page and in The Sullivan Review.

With the upcoming rain, we are going to postpone the Endless Mountains Sleigh Rally until Sunday, February 18 at 12pm. It is disappointing that the snow from this weekend will be ruined. We are hopeful that we will have frozen ground with a couple inches of snow and passable roads for February!

Please read the whole post, I know its long!
To the guy in the sporty blue car with blue headlights on 81/86 by Binghamton, THANK YOU, who drove next to me for awhile, cut in front of me, flashed lights and four ways, pulled over and finally when I realized you weren't being a jerk, but that I had a problem with my truck and trailer but couldn't pull over, you rolled down your window to tell me I was losing gas. THANK YOU, for your kindness even though I didn't want to make eye contact because I thought I pi**ed you off somehow on the highway with my trailer, THANK YOU, I was able to get off the highway, park somewhere safe and wait for help without catching on fire or getting stranded on the side of the road. I know you probabky wont ever reas this, but THANK YOU. Thank you to friends and family who answeredcalls and texts and offered help, who came to haul my truck home, Dad and Steve Stueck, thank you Cindae Wilson for bringing your truck up to hitch my trailer so we could continue to pick up the newest member of the NorthWoods Farm family. Thank you to Katie at Unadilla Livestock Company, LLC for being compassionate and helpful so I could still pick up my mare super late and willing to let me keep her there if I needed. This event made me remember there is lots of kindness still left in the world and even from strangers.

Breaking in the new barn. Tiko is moved in permanently, he has even learned how to be closed up in a stall. He walked on the concrete and took a spin around the whole place, leading as well as any domestic! Daisy and Chex visited but are not impressed with the lack of pasture ☺ so we had a spa day and they returned to grandma's until spring. Next up footing in the indoor and we will be open for business!
