Spooning with my horse ... it's not what you think 😂

The flies are so agressive right now! I'm hoping slathering everyone's legs in clay poultice will help keep them off.

We have a few hummingbird feeders around the farm.
This is how I make my own organic nectar for them.

I was gifted Irises last year. I have no experience with Irises so I was very excited to see one of them bloom! I may have to get more!

A couple of years ago, I happened across a
Black Raspberry plant at a random store. I had never heard of them before but, for a $2.00 twig I was willing to give it a go. I'm not a fan of raspberries and have never had better!! So sweet and delicious! If you come across them, give them a try!

16/05/2022

This is the current project underway!
We use to have raised vegetable beds in this spot. Between the weather and wildlife it wasn't very successful. Hopefully this greenhouse will be more productive.

Another friend found in the yard. It's wild out here!

Landmark (our pensioner) out and about

A short ride with Bourbon on the flat. He seems very comfortable with the new tack selection. I'll be using this set up with him from now on.

Free jumping Vaudeville, 2'3. He's finding his feet.

Free jumping and gymnastic work with Vaudeville today

Bourbon

More from Bourbons test fit ride. Bourbon is an imported German Warmblood, so he is built large and wide with high withers. He can be difficult to fit. The saddle I'm testing on him is a treeless hunter/jumper style. The new bit is a three piece egbutt snaffle with a center losange. Previously he had been ridden in a Pelham with a curb chain (not by me) because he tends to be strong in the hands. I'm attempting to soften him up by simply making sure he's comfortable. So far, he had lightened up in the hands quite a bit and was moving freely. It's possible I've figured out the answer. A couple more rides will tell me.

Vaudeville

Serpentines with Vaudeville in the big ring

Test fitting new tack on Bourbon. He's a little stiff to the left with his turn on haunches. The right turn on haunches was better. Over all I'm happy with the test ride. I'll ride him again with the new tack to see if he is genuinely more comfortable or if it was just one good ride.

It's winter here in the desert. Even though we do have hot water in the barn for baths, with highs in the 50's it's too cold. My personal solution has always been to train every horse I have ever owned to tolerate the vacuum. Specifically for these cooler winter months.
