MAGGIE

🐎13 year old Fell Pony

🐎 Fell ponies are quite often black but can come in grey and bay as well.

🐎 Maggie was originally from a Fell Pony breeder out west and was shipped here when she was a yearling.

🐎 Maggie was trained to ride and drive as a 3 year old and then after her training turned into a pasture pet.

🐎 Maggie was owned by Shelby Creek Stables in Linwood until she was 8 and then we got her.

🐎 I had to retrain Maggie how to be rideable since she hadn't been ridden in so long.

🐎 I taught Maggie to smile and that is one of her favorite tricks to do for treats!

🐎 Maggie is our favorite pony to take to therapy centers because of her size and sweet personality.

🐎 With us, Maggie has been to some fun shows, trail riding, camping, has been in parades, and used for pony rides at Johnsons Pumpkin Farm and travels to various therapy centers around Bay County including Game Changers locations.

🐎 Maggie had a surprise baby with us 2.5 years ago. We didn't know she was pregnant but she had a beautiful healthy red roan c**t that we named Halo.

🐎 Fell ponies are a rare breed that originated in England. Queen Elizabeth owned and bred them and there are only about 800 registered Fell Ponies in America! The breed did not come to North America until approximately 1999!

🐎 Maggie is very quick so she does not get used for our beginner lessons off the lead line. She is more for the advanced kids.

Maggie is one of my favorites! How about you?

Merry Christmas to you all!

"The meaning of “merry” is to be cheerful and lively... I’m sure many of us can say this year has been far from that meaning...
However, have you ever thought about how just putting a smile on your face, no matter how hard it is to do, has the power to change the direction of your day? In fact choosing to be joyful can change the complete direction of your path in life.

Friends, He never promised that this life would be easy, in fact God warns us that in this life we will have trouble. BUT take heart, as Jesus has come to help us through it all. The King of it all was born as a man in a stable...
When we slow down and truly think about the magnitude of what happened that night, in order for us to be saved, it should give us so much hope! He came to save us once, He’ll be back to do it again 🙌🏼

We ask that you search your heart, whether your a new, old, or on the fence believer🙏🏼 Ask our Lord and Savior to guide you each and everyday and receive the blessings in the midst of the trials. He loves you so much and we know our God is bigger than all of our earthly problems.
Stay strong and know we are praying and cheering for you all... "

GOATY

THE GOAT

We are switching it up this week from our equines to our little billy goat!

I got Goaty back in 2014 from an estate sale in Alma. The family was moving to Texas and selling everything they had. There were 5 goats total and he was the smallest.

Goaty was already fixed when I got him and he was a year and a half, which puts him at 9 and a half years old right now. Goats live about 12 to 15 years old on average.

I got Goaty because at the time I was living at home and wasn't allowed to have a dog so I got a Goat instead because he could stay at the barn with my horses and I could take him for walks. Goaty was very full of personality and would follow me everywhere! He really enjoyed following me and my horse on trail rides.

One day I came to the barn and Goaty was up in the hay loft screaming. I called him and he wasn't coming so I went upstairs and he had his leg up not able to use it. I took Goaty to the vet and got Xrays right away thinking for sure it was broken. Xrays confirmed nothing was broken and the vet said he tore the equivalent to his rotator cuff. We were sent home with meds and shots that needed to be given twice a day for 2 weeks.

During the weeks I had to give him meds I kept him in the garage with a heater wrapped in a blanket. I spoon fed him his food (yogurt for protein) and took him everywhere I went. He was babied so much that he decided life is better when he doesn't use his leg. Goaty never used that leg again but he did figure out how to get around on 3 legs. He can run, go up and down stairs and do everything a 4 legged goat can do.

We have to cut Goatys hoof down quite frequently because he doesn't use that foot and it gets overgrown.

Goaty lives in our hay room now and in the summer has free roam of the farm.

Goatys favorite snacks are chips. He really likes any kind of food but if you shake a bag of chips he will come running and start begging for food. He may even jump up on you or pull on your pant leg.

Goaty is a pygmy cross goat

Goatys name was 'Boots' when I got him but I started calling him Mr. Goaty and it just stuck.

Goaty is always up to mischief and if he is out he is trying to get into all of the horses grain containers.

Goaty is the official goat for The Excited Goat Coffee Company down the road! His picture is in their shop ❤️

Goaty means the world to me and has moved with me as I've grown to 4 different farms before we finally bought our beautiful farm we are at now. No matter where life has taken us he has always been there.

"BARR POCO LO VEO"

JIMMY

🐎Born August 27th 2007

🐎Jimmy is a registered Foundation Quarter Horse.

🐎His color is Seal Bay

🐎Jimmy lived his first 7 years of his life running hundreds of acres as a stallion with his herd of mares. That was his job and he wasn't asked to do anything other than that.

🐎When he was 7, he and his herd were sold off and split up. Jimmy landed in a home with his new owner who was in his 70s and just wanted a trail horse to ride for fun. He was convinced by a horse trainer that Jimmy was a good fit for him so he invested into Jimmy.

🐎Jimmy didn't have a name at the time, just a registered name. He was named Jimmy at the trainers facility as a joke because "Jimmy" was the guy who tried to break him out. Jimmy the man left this trainers facility before I started working there.

🐎I accepted a job at a big name training facility in 2015. I was so excited to be working there and wanted to do everything in my power to impress them and move up the ladder towards my goals. I started out cleaning stalls, doing chores and saddling/bathing the horses for the trainers to ride. I always asked what more I could do and if there were any horses that needed to be worked. Nobody wanted to work with Jimmy so he was then at the top of my list of things to do. Jimmy was WILD. This horse would do anything in his power to NOT do what you wanted him to do. Lunging he would drag me across the arena from one side to another and back again. He would buck and rear and root his nose down and away from me until I lost control of him. I didn't give up. Every day I got Jimmy out and worked on the tedious little things. We would take 1 step forward and 5 steps back everytime I felt like we were gaining progress he would find a new way to take me back down. When I started riding Jimmy he had NO control. He would run (and I mean full on run) into the walls, I couldn't turn him nor stop him once I got him going and he could run side ways across the entire arena with ease. We started with just walking circles and following his nose. Bending around my inside leg for hours. I remember the first time I tried to ride him ba****ck he dumped me off quicker then I could swing my leg over. I got right back on time and time again.

🐎Jimmy had a tendency to stop drop and roll whenever he didn't feel like participating in our riding activities anymore. There would be no warning, no sniffing the ground he would just drop to the ground, roll me off and get up and take off. This happened more times than I can count and typically in a big mud hole.

🐎Jimmy's favorite past time when he wasn't trying to kill me was getting his belly vacuumed. We had a horse vacuum that we would use on them daily to get any dirt and dander off their coats and Jimmy loved it. His lip would start twitching and he'd stretch his neck out when I'd get to his belly.

🐎With all of the naughty thing Jimmy did I grew very fond of him because of the challenges he put me through. I loved the proud feeling I would get when Jimmy would finally figure something out that we had been working on for weeks. This horse taught me persistence, patience, and softness. He taught me that sometimes if you push a horse too hard and too fast it will backfire on you. He taught me how important those small steps are, how they build up to bigger and better things if you just take the time to perfect them first.

🐎I trained Jimmy for a little over a year and was the only one who rode him during that time. I left that job and left a part of my heart there with it.... my horse Jimmy.

🐎Life went on and I used what he taught me to work with and train other horses. I taught Jimmy how to set his head off just my legs, I could ride him without a bridle on. He was spinning, counter bending, sliding, neck reining, picking up a lope from a stand still, side passing and trail riding. Jimmy loved to climb the biggest hills when he and I would go out on trail rides.

🐎A year after I left Jimmy, his owner called me. He had bred Jimmy a few times and had some foals from him. He was getting out of horses and wanted to know if I'd want to purchase Jimmy. At this time I really didn't NEEEED another horse nor did I have a job for Jimmy but ofcourse I couldn't let him go anywhere else. That day I decided Jimmy would be with me the rest of his life.

🐎Jimmy has sired many foals in his life and was gelded before I purchased him. Because of his wonderful foundation bloodlines most of his babies are reined cow horses or work on ranches. One of his fillies was at the training facility when I was working there and I got to watch her become a great reining horse.

🐎Jimmy loves to be in a stall, when he goes outside he gets a bit too crazy so we do keep a stall just for him. He loves to lay down and roll in his sawdust. If his window is open he enjoys standing with his head out for hours watching everyone on the farm.

🐎Jimmy became a lesson horse shortly after I purchased him for advanced students. We tried taking him to some shows but he gets very overwhelmed in a crowded arena and he decided that's not for him. He loves to go on adventures and has been in parades, summer camps, therapy sessions, cattle sorting and to a mounted shooting clinic.

🐎Jimmy has to wear front shoes his whole life because he unfortunately has poor hooves when he is Barefoot and they break apart. He also has poor conformation in his front end which sometimes makes him unridable for long periods of time.

🐎If you meet Jimmy you will notice right away a scar on each side of his face. Before I started working with Jimmy a trainer had tied him in his stall and forgot about him. Jimmy lays down every night so when he laid down that night he hung himself from his halter. Thankfully he was still alive when they found him the next morning but he was left with lifelong scars. After that he was nicknamed "Jaws" by his owner.

🐎I really love sharing all of our horses with you guys on Spotlight Saturdays but this story is by far one of the most special ones. These horses help me be able to do what I love every single day but Jimmy truly started it all and he will be with me until the end.

Who has been blessed to ride this guy?! He makes me so proud every time I see him teach someone new ❤️

Pictured 2nd is the day I officially brought him home

🐎"HOLLYWOODS ROWDY CHIC"

🐎KALLIE

🐎 Registered American Quarter Horse

🐎Born February 19th 2014 in Bay City!

🐎She is 14.3 hands tall

🐎Kallie was bred to be a reining horse which she was trained in by her previous owners. She can slide stop, spin, move off leg etc. She is very well broke! She was broke out a bit later than your average horse.

🐎Kallies sire still lives in Bay City as a stud horse and currently still competes and has many titles in the reining circuit.

🐎Kallie competed in the high school Equestrian team with her old owner and placed very well in all the western classes including western pleasure, reining, showmanship, 2 man relay. Western Riding, ba****ck and trail. Her owner sold her to us due to graduating high school and going into college.

🐎Kallie was boarded with us before we purchased her so we got to know her very well.

🐎Since purchasing Kallie we have used her for lessons and trained her to be a spectacular mounted shooting horse! We also started trail riding her which she had never done before and she loves it! She even went riding on the shore of Lake Michigan this November and braved the 6 foot waves like a champ! Kallie has also carried the flag for opening ceremonies and did a few mounted shooting demos at rodeos this year.

🐎Kallie has a very unique coat. She is considered buckskin but depending on the season she is always a different shade!

❤️One of the reasons we fell in love with Kallie is her sweet personality. She always wants to run up to the gate to greet you and get some love. Who else loves Kallie?!

💥ARCHIE 💥

🐎Born October 2004 in Beaverton MI

🐎Archie is a pony who stands about 11 hands tall

🐎Archie was owned by the same family most of his life, he was sold to an elderly woman who had him for her main riding horse. She then sent him to me back in 2018 to train him how to drive! She thought maybe he was previously trained to drive because when she would clean out his stall, he would back himself into the wheel barrow handles and stand there. She bought him a custom harness and cart for him because she was convinced he was a cart pony but in my research it was confirmed that he was never previously trained to drive. Archie now pulls a cart very well and I use him to teach people how to drive!

🐎Archie is a mutt. His sire was a mustang and his mom was a grey pony who looks just like him.

🐎Archie is used for lessons, driving, trail rides, pumpkin farm rides, therapy lessons, mounted shooting, parades, obstacle challenge, cattle sorting, and community events. He can do it all!

🐎Archie wears special front shoes with boreum welded on the bottom for traction when driving. He also needs to have shoes on because before we bought him he had previously foundered which is caused by having too much sugars. We prevent floundering by not letting him graze out in the grass feilds and we have to keep him on a strict diet.

🐎I officailly bought Archie in 2020 but it feels so much longer because he was with me for training on and off since 2018.

🐎Archie has an attitude and personality much bigger than he is!

🐎Archie's girlfriend is Maggie although right now they aren't on speaking terms due to his mood swings 😂

Who loves Archie?! We sure do! ❤️

Thanks to Ryann Kruse for his wonderful photo!

🐎EVA🐎

🐎"WINDFALLS JAGGED RENO"

🐎Born May 15th 2010 in Litchfeild, Michigan

🐎Eva is a registered Paint mare. She is grey and has a blue eye and a dark brown eye.

🐎Eva has only had 2 owners her whole life, we are her 3rd home.

🐎She had 1 foal when she was younger and was an excellent mom. She had a leg injury years ago that was a laceration and required surgery down at MSU. She has made a complete recovery but due to this she will never do strenuous work such as jumping big jumps or running alot. That is why our farm is a perfect fit for her.

🐎She has previously been shown with her old owner who had her since she was 2. They broke her out. We bought Eva July 25th 2023. Her owner sold her to us because she was going to Iowa State for their Veterinary Science program. We still keep in contact and she loves getting updates on Eva!

🐎Eva is used for beginner lessons here at Serenity. She has a sweet kind personality and loves kids. She can be ridden without a bridle on because she knows how to be ridden off just leg and seat.

Who loves our girl Eva?!

💥Picture credit to Ryann Kruse! She does a fantastic job with all of our black background photos and does offer them if you're interested in getting your horse or pet done!

"EMP INVESTED ELEGANCE"

ELLIE

🐎June 16th 2006 is the day she came into this world

🐎Ellie is a registered Paint Horse which surprises many because she is solid with no spots

🐎Ellie had a foal on her side when she came to us on consignment but she was a horrible mom and wasn't feeding her baby. We ended up selling her foal with in the first 2 weeks of having them at our farm. Her baby was a bay and was half the size of our baby Denim who was the same age as her.

🐎Ellie has been shown in Western Pleasure, Halter, Showmanship, Reining (4h level), Western Riding, Speed Classes: Flag, Barrels, 2 man relay for the Equestrian team. She has also placed in the top 10 during our obstacle races and enjoys trail riding.

🐎Ellie came to us from the same owners as Ace and they both came as consignment horses back in 2020. We couldn't part with her so ended up purchasing her as well to use for our lesson program.

🐎Ellie has to get hock injections about every 6 months to keep her moving correctly because her 2nd joint in her hock is fusing. Once this joint is fused she will no longer need the injections and her leg will be back to normal movement because this particular joint is not needed! (Last time we xrayed her the vet thought that may be the last time she would need it 😁)

🐎Ellie is head mare out in her feild and really anywhere she goes. Queen 🐝 for sure.

🐎Ellie neck reins and likes to be ridden with all leg so we do not typically put beginners on her as she does not like to be pulled on. Ellie is saved more for adult riders or advanced riders. There are some exceptions when we have a rider who has naturally soft hands.

🐎Ellie is a female and naturally is moody and picks her people. You either get along with her or you don't 😂

Who loves Ellie? Who doesn't love Ellie? Haha

We obviously love our girl ❤️

💥BULLET💥

🐎Bullet is the newest lesson horse in our program!

🐎 He is 17 years old
🐎 He's a paint pony
🐎 He stands at 13.3 hands so he is big enough for adults to ride but short enough for beginners to feel comfortable on.
🐎 Bullet was shown in speed and western events 8 years ago. He went the last 4 years without being ridden before we purchased him on October 15th 2023.
🐎So far we have used Bullet for rides at the pumpkin farm, and a few lessons.
🐎We have big plans for our youth mounted shooting students to use him next year in the wranglers division.
🐎Bullet has a brand on his left shoulder that is from the farm we bought him from.

He has been a wonderful, sweet addition to our program so far!

SPOTLIGHT SATURDAY!

ACE

🐎16.2 hands high
🐎15 year old Thoroughbred
🐎Ace is an off-the -track Thoroughbred which means he was a race horse back in his prime! He has a tattoo on his upper lip which is a series of numbers that tell you who he is. Unfortunately his tattoo is hard to read clearly and so we do not have any information on where he raced or his birthday, registered name etc.
🐎Ace came from a last chance kill pen where one of our dear friends purchased him and gave him a great home for a year.
🐎Ace came to us on August 9th 2020 as a consignment horse which is where we take him in, evaluate him, put some training on him and then sell him for his owners. Ace and Ellie came from the same person, both as consignment horses that we couldn't part with. After spending just a few weeks with him he became a part of our family and we couldn't let him go. We ended up purchasing Ace and keeping him ourselves.
🐎When Ace first arrived on consignment we actually had someone want to purchase him right away. They came up with a trailer and decided not to take him (thankfully).
🐎Ace is such a wonderful sweet soul. He teaches riders of all levels how to ride English or western. Ace excells in English and jumping but also loves to go trail riding and has gotten broke to gun fire and may become one of our mounted shooting horses in the future.
We have taken Ace to shows, high school Equestrian team meets, parades, and Johnsons Pumpkin Farm.
🐎Ace has a home here at Serenity for the rest of his days. He is one of those truly special horses that is worth his weight in gold.

Have you ridden Ace? Is he your number 1 guy here at the farm?

10/28/2023

We sure know how to have fun parties! What a wonderful barn family we are blessed to have. At our farm you come as a friend and become family. We had a great time with all our boarders and leasers tonight celebrating the harvest season! Thank you to everyone who came, brought a dish to pass, and those who hosted a game! We had a costume contest with the horses, played egg toss, donuts on a string game, and had some fun relay races!

10/26/2023

Chiropractor day at the barn!

Did you know horses get chiropracted too?

Many times when a horse is having any behavioral issues it ends up being chiropractic!
Some issues that can be caused by your horse being 'out' are: bucking, cross firing, not picking up the correct lead, stiff, pulling when doing circles, cinchy, not wanting the saddle put on, not picking up a hind leg easily when asked and many more!

How does a horse throw themselves 'out'?
Horses are around 1000 pounds each and they like to roll, play, kick, buck out in the feild and ofcourse run! Sometimes it is even as simple as the horse was born that way. These things are all normal horse behaviors but can sometimes cause damage if the horse twists the wrong way or falls while out in the feild.

Tim has been working on our horses since 2015. He is the best in the business and we are so thankful to have him around. Tim comes out every 2 weeks just to check all of our horses and make sure everyone is as comfortable as they can be ❤️
