Lesson kids had a fun afternoon. It was humid and hot and then it cooled down and started raining and thundering....we were like "well whatever.... let's do inside lessons today". Minnie and Tully were good sports. 😁 The kids learned about grooming, hoof care and parts of the horse and then helped with afternoon feeding.

The Duke and Dutches head back to the rescue today. This was our plan when we first fostered them in December but were kind of hoping it might work out for them to stay. We are a little sad about that part but our facility is just not right for their needs long term. :-(

We do want to thank everyone for the support and assistance you have given to help these two beautiful ponies!

If you still want to help them and follow their journey please connect you with Sarah Paige at Whole Horse Equine Rescue or I would be glad to do an introduction!

With Duke and Snickers, she has 18 horses and ponies that can use all the love and support they can get!

Nice little ba****ck ride today.

We found a deer path that made a circle through the snow. Hannah wanted to do it by herself so I stayed back and waited. :-) She sure loves her pony!

Looks like the Duke had a nice nap last night in the shavings. Sometimes these guys go inside but a lot of the time they like to stand out I whatever weather. :-)

We dropped a bucket of feed on the barn floor today and Dixie found the remains....she says, "My teeth might be terrible and my eyes questionable but my 29 yr old nose still works just fine!"

2024 ERR Show Dates

51° in February in Maine is good for me!

2 miles with Rose and some fun pics. She had lots of energy. I think she was hoping I would let her take advantage of the 30 mph speed limit. We haven't been able to ride on the road since the flood in December because there has been soooo much traffic, particularly trucks, with rt 5 closed. Now that it is open again and East Andover is back to normal we are ready to "hit the road" again!

Wanted to share some very cool pictures of the Duke (Ducati) that I found online.

I wish we could find an experienced rider who would do some cross country or trail stuff with him. He may be in his early twenties but has so much to give. He is an energetic passionate horse who just wants to have fun. Going around in circles in an arena is not the place for him but put him in cross country, versatility, trick training...things to engage his busy mind and I believe you'd have a dream. 💕

My heart is struggling with letting him go when our foster contract is up in April but I already have Rose who has a very similar busy personality. Honestly, when we first agreed to foster Duke my mind was thinking retirement home but I don't think he's ready for that. Oh, how I would love to do the in-hand versatility challenges at ERR with him this year. Talk about a head-turner and a class clown all in one horse! 😁

Well, for now we will love and hug him and see what the future brings.

A kind of sad day on the farm today. :-(

We lost Prince last night. He had been kind of quite the last couple days but was still eating fine and seemed ok otherwise. I put him in his kennel last night (a dog kennel filled with hay with a horse blanket wrapped around it) like I did any night that was below 20 and this morning we found that he had went on in his sleep. :-(

I don't know much about chickens really and we don't know how old he was either. He moved in here on May 4th, 2019 and refused to leave. He was basically one of the "herd". In good weather anywhere the horses were, you usually could find Prince close by. In the Winter he basically just stayed in the barn because he wasn't a big fan of the snow. Ask anyone who ever joined us for a cookout or outside party of any kind and they will tell you he was like a dog...he would go from person to person begging for snacks. He didn't really care if he knew you or not. :-P One day I left the front door open while I was cleaning and came back in to find Prince picking at the cat food in the kitchen (Ya, he was a food motivated bird).

So, it is a sad day but we are glad he felt safe and happy here for close to 5 years.

A few minutes this morning with my 🌹.

Can't do much because of the ice under the snow but we could do some stretches and walk around a little.

And get a couple cute pictures. 😊
