My favorite cria of the year seems to keep changing, but Gabby is making a good case for herself! What isn’t to love about this girl! I think she’s going to hang around unless someone can talk me out of her. 😁

✨ Exciting Announcement! ✨

We would like to congratulate Megan Bixler on her choice to add Starr Crunch to her herd! He was not an easy one to let go of, but luckily Megan spoke for him quickly before we could change our minds! We have loved being able to show him this fall and seeing go to a great show home. 🩷

This special girl has been kind of “hiding” from our page due to no fault of her own 😂 She’s been staying with Jenny and Londyn Rubek with her momma. We are so excited to be partnering with them on this female and we think she’s going to have quite the show career next year! If Cheyenne and Londyn can get over fighting who shows her.

Lovingly known as Lola 🩷

Freya’s cria was moving like crazy tonight! It was moving a lot before I started filming go figure. 😂 Just under 3 weeks until her due date! We cannot wait for this cria out of KVF Timone’s Pride.

When people ask why do you love your geldings so much. Here is a perfect example. 🙂 Aidan is 5 years old and going to be participating in the Sub Junior Classes at Iowa State Fair for the first time so he got a practice session in with our gelding Jakaida. Jakaida was so patient with him and did just about everything he asked him to. Even backing and side passing. We love our breeding herd, but our gelding have a special place in our herd too. ❤️

Cheyenne, Marshall, Erika and I got to see Party’s baby throwing a temper tantrum during and after shearing tonight. He/She was NOT a happy camper and proceeded to kick until we left. 😂 I only got this one kick at the end but it was so cool to watch.

In case someone was having a case of the Mondays, we wanted to bring back a video from Summer 2020 to bring a smile to someone’s face! ❤️ I know it did mine. We are looking forward to summer nights with green grass, beautiful sunsets, and crias running around! Crias in the video are Val’s Godspeed HAFF, Ringo’s Opal HAFF, Crusader Spiritt HAFF, and Coaty’s Fallen Angel HAFF.

You could say halter breaking isn’t going well 😂 Yes he is fine. He just likes throwing a tantrum. His other little friends didn’t understand why he was doing that.

Mailman is one who when Erika showed him in youth he would never do water. Fast forward to now, he still doesn’t do water, but with some hard work and tag teaming between Erika and Marshall they got him to go through water yesterday. 🙂 Now at a show may he a little different but we are just happy he did it finally!
