2023 Friesian Sporthorse Association Filly
Begherra (FHANA) x Champagne Toddy (AQHA)
Champagne Friesian Sporthorses apparently flock together. π
Oofta was causing a commotion today!
Minnie was *not* excited about forced outdoor time today. π

After 3 weeks of new horse quarantine, Oofta went out to stretch her leg ls today. I expected a lot more excitement. π This mare continues to show us she is a total sweetheart. π

Wilhelmina - Minnie - had her first horse show yesterday. So proud, she earned Bronze Elite! Minnie will go back for inspection/appraisal as a mature mare to see what a judge thinks of her conformation, movement and temperament.
In the meantime, Minnie has some thoughts on her show handler Rafael. π
Wilhelmina is prepping hard for her Friesian Sporthorse Association show debut on Oct. 1. β€οΈ
Cleaning stalls takes teamwork.

Farrier day and way too much mud!
How NOT to look for a farrier appointment. Gotta love Iowa spring weather. On the bright side, our mud crop is doing great! π
Does it get any cuter? β€οΈ
Still working on a name for this sweet filly...

Top Shelf Opaldine is home and settled in! She is a complete sweetheart! β₯οΈWe did have a little *talk* about halters today...she didn't want one at first, but now agrees they are an important accessory. π
Thank you to Top Shelf Friesians for breeding such good-minded, conformationally correct babies! Opaldine is an absolute doll! π
Apparently Irish Spring tastes like crap. πππ Oh, Westley! β€

Poor Victor. First he gets stuck in a stall, then this kitty decides to bother him. π€£π€£
Mr. Sassy Pants was irritated that I was blocking his hay access. π€£
