Maggie
45 days and she’s ROLLING! AOR Squirrel’s Southern Magnolia….our Sweet Maggie!
AOR Squirrel’s southern magnolia “Maggie” looking pretty good only 45 days into her KY training with Shaun Lyons!
Maggie’s got gait!
Long distance shipping done right! Secret traveled from FL, to Ky, to Southern California and looks great! Congratulations to her new owner Jaci Williams!
Secret’s arrival!
Look who arrived in California late last week! She did great on the long travel and has adjusted quickly to her new loving home!
Exploring lower green swamp nature preserve. #rockymountainhorses
Boys officially never grow up! And this never gets old to watch! Recon LOVES his ball!
Terrible video angle alert! But when your often alone in the barn you have to get creative!
Slow weaning is going great! This is the first time we have tried it and so far so good! Secret is going out with Ember from 8am until coming in for dinner at 5. She eats alone in the barn aisle next to her mom and then gets to go in with mom for the night around 8pm! Twice daily we work on a mix of: getting lighter in the halter, hooves, rope work, fly spray and the dreaded hose. It’s 5 minutes at a time! Babies are so fun and all JOY! Especially this sweet girl❤️
Secret-Day 2 slow weaning is going great! We have always done “cold Turkey” weaning but wanted to try the slower approach for a few days-maybe a week. This filly is so go with the flow! She has to be the easiest one so far!
Is it bad that I like Libby’s foals better then her? 2 for 2 they have been my favorites. Sadly she is not bred for 2024!
Sensitive intuitive mares are not meant for beginners and yet Sage is the one horse we can always use to teach a beginner. Everytime we try and sell her to reduce our numbers we fall back in love with her. She has come so far and took years to let down her walls. I feel so grateful we have earned her trust! I won’t let her down:)
There is a hole in the hose and Secret is SO curious…and fearless! Hey….what’s that? Proceeds to walk over to see and gets sprayed in the face! 🤣
Keeping up with the short but daily rides! I think I see a small bit of sonnets waist line today! Lol
Rode home on the street this time just to freshen up on road riding skills:)
It’s HOT but if you get out and back early it’s totally fine for horse and rider! And no bugs early in the morning🙌🏼❤️🙌🏼
Sage and Sonnet
Evenings are my favorite time to ride….poor Sonnet has been on the back burner and is desperate for exercise. Once the young ones are started and the babies all sell I will be focusing on my sonnet 💯!
So we enjoyed some physical therapy on the ground and then head out into the preserve for a little working walk! Rode sonnet and ponied the red head! Lots of deer out at dusk and the temp was perfect! Sadly, the horse flies tried to carry us away in one section….sonnet decided out working walk wasn’t working and wanted to run home away from the big biting flies! Poor girl is such a drama queen when it comes to bugs!
Ember has been the sweetest Auntie to 4 foals now! Just another reason to love this young mare❤️🤣❤️
3 yo KMH mare-“Ember”second solo ride in the woods, the first full solo trail ride in the preserve. Very proud of her progress this week! She is coming along nicely!#mountainhorse
It was Maggie’s first time ponying on the trail today. As expected, she literally spooked at nothing. She probably has the calmest temperaments of any Rocky I have ever started. She’s so BEYOND chill.
Maggie turns 3 in May so it’s about that time to get her softly started under saddle, ready for her next zip code and partner.
