Mr. Charlie is absolutely thriving! ☺️❤️❤️❤️

The top two pics were Charlie when he first arrived June 16, 2024. He’s gained 150 lbs. He’s still gaining but slowly. We started groundwork about mid-July. He started under saddle more regularly mid-September. He’s just doing fantastic!!! It’s so rewarding to see his body changing. I feel like the muscle since he’s been under saddle is what’s really making the most visible difference. He definitely has very high metabolism still, unfortunately for my checking account, lol. 😂 He eats SO. MUCH. FOOD. lol. 😂 He has unlimited forage of course. Some of our hay is grass hay and some has alfalfa in it. Plus he gets giant mashes with 8 lbs of alfalfa cubes mixed in with his 12.5 lbs of grains and 2lb of ration balancer total per day all split up into about 3 meals per day. I’ve never had a horse that ate more food ever, lol. 😂 😂😂🤣

He’s gained so much weight that his blanket size went up considerably. When I first got him I put my 74/75s on him just to see how small they would be on him and to my surprise they actually fit him at that time, which was remarkable for a horse of his height (almost 17 hands)!!! I just bought 84s for him which will be a little big but I have no doubt he will grow into them. 78s were too small (I borrowed Buddie’s to try on for sizing). My guess is he’s probably about 81-82 currently.

He’s worth every penny and every worried moment I’ve had!!! He can be a little dominant in personality but is easily corrected with consistent boundaries. He’s SUCH a sweetheart and eats up love from literally anyone, lol. 😂 He LOVES humans and can’t get enough affection. He’s definitely a social butterfly with humans and horses! He’s super smart and picks things up quickly and his willing, good-natured personality helps so much with training. I’m ridiculously in love with him and I’m so so grateful that we took a chance on him. He’s an absolutely awesome addition to our motley crew. I have zero regrets whatsoever! His food bill is high but I hope it will come down a bit eventually, maybe a little, lol. We’ll see, lol. We are feeding to add weight now so it is a bit more than I think it will end up being eventually. 🥰❤️❤️❤️

Exciting work is getting completed in ALL of our dry lots, just in time for winter!!! We are about to have the best winter we’ve ever had regardless of what the weather does!!! Brand new all-weather dry lots are being put in currently!!! 😍😍😍🥰❤️❤️❤️

We do have one stall opening for the right fit horse and rider available mid to late September! We also have a couple of on-site only leases (with lessons required) available as well. Please send a message if interested! 🥳

It’s so important to remember the progress you’ve made with horses and remember all that you’ve taught them and all that they’ve successfully learned!!! 🥳❤️❤️❤️ I was reading through old comments from 3 years ago and it reminded me… Fury used to be hard to catch!!! It’s been so long I completely forgot about that!!! I spent hours when I first got him just getting him to willingly come in from turnout. He used to HATE getting a fly mask on. He HATED being stalled and couldn’t tolerate it for more than 30 seconds and he opened stall doors (lifted twisted and slid the bar out of the opening) to get out. (That was impressive but not good, lol.) He had never tied to a post and wouldn’t do that or even lift his feet willingly when I first got him. When I was teaching him to tie he pawed nonstop and kicked walls nonstop. Blankets? Forget about it! lol. He took off all of his blankets and fly masks as well as everyone else’s. 🫣 Shots from the Vet? Forget about it! He does all of this perfectly now with no issues whatsoever. He even ties for baths with no issues as well. (Baths were a NIGHTMARE for him when I first got him.) And he gets shots from the Vet with no problem at all also.

Now, he’s still perfecting trailering and off property is scary for him but we are working on those things too. He’s really come so, so far and I’m so proud of him!!! He just needed time, consistency and a little bit of patience. And look how far he’s come! He’ll get there with the off property stuff too. ☺️❤️

Second Cutting is in!!! 😍🥰❤️

We had a SUPER fun time at the Friday Night Open Pleasure show last night!!! Great job, everyone!!! I loved the teamwork and comraderie!!! 😍 We had a blast!!! 💥😍☺️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰 Amaya did such a wonderful job and had such a great attitude and worked so hard! Great job working through it and sticking with it! You should be very proud of the hard work you put in, Amaya!!! ☺️❤️ Jess did absolutely wonderful too!!! Buddie looked so handsome and was so well-behaved! And you did so great! I wish Fury had the calmness and patience Buddie demonstrated in lineup! Great job!!!😍☺️❤️ I’m super proud of Fury also, as he was a completely different horse a year ago and his progress has been so amazing to experience. The biggest win we had was feeling the trust he had in me even when he was nervous in a new environment. He did everything I asked him to without hesitation! ❤️❤️❤️ I absolutely love these fairgrounds!!! What a wonderful setup! It’s beautiful and so nice to visit!!! Thanks to the Portage County Equine Show Committee and all of the people helping for putting together such a nice show series!!! It’s wonderful for kids to get experience and practice as well as for adults to get exposure and practice for green horses! We had a wonderful time and are so grateful for these opportunities!!! Thank you!!! ☺️❤️❤️❤️

Some random pictures! Love watching the boys soak up the sun!!😍☺️💙 Buddie is SUCH a good boy and respects boundaries so well! He always has. ☺️ If you forget his butt rope he will stay standing like this waiting to be haltered and taken out. With any other horse I would hear clip clop sounds as they walk out almost immediately, lol. Such a good boy!!! 😍😂☺️💙💙💙

Happy 1 year anniversary, Buddie, Jessica and Jason!!! We love you so much and are so happy to have you here!!! 🥹☺️💜💜💜 Buddie knew it was his one year and had a little celebration in the pasture today, lol. 😆🥳🎉🥹💜☺️

Anna and Cortney were already an important part of our barn family!!! Welcome to Poki, Anna’s new pony!!! 😍☺️☺️☺️💜💜💜 Watching this was so exciting and happy and literally brought tears to my eyes!!! 😍😍😍 We are so super happy for you and your very first pony, Anna!!! Also, it was wonderful to meet so many others in the family!!! We had a great time and YAYYYYY for Poki!!! Such a sweet little guy!!! Can’t wait to watch you two grow!!! ☺️☺️☺️💜💜💜💜

Poor Cam is on stall rest for his very advanced navicular which we just discovered. 😢😢😢 Of course he’s very sad to be away him his friends but Houston seems to be able to keep his spirits up at times, along with Butters, our mini, overnight. These two are so cute together!!! I love Cam’s persistence!!! 🙃💜💜💜 Molli Rae

So super proud of Beau-Beau today!!! He did AWESOME today. He’s learning so much (and so am I). He’s really coming along!!! 😍☺️☺️☺️💜💜💜

Sleepy geldings!! ☺️☺️☺️ Fury was a little extra tired after the show last weekend and Cam does lay down a lot still because of his ouchy feet from rescue. (We are working on those.) But I love how safe and comfortable they feel to sleep literally anywhere. And I REALLY love how the other geldings watch out for Cam while he sleeps!!! They take good care of him!!! I truly believe our geldings have never had such a peaceful daily existence ever. 💜💜💜

Getting Fury ready for his first Intro dressage test… we have lots more work to do! We’ve been spending way more time trailer training lately lol 😂 So for the amount of time we’ve put in I’m honestly happy!!! He’ll get there! I think he has potential!!! ☺️💜💜💜 And I’ll get there too, lol. 🤞😅

So super grateful to Dave who keeps our dry lots super clean every single day!!! Our fecal egg counts are typically very low or negative except in the case of shedders, of course. I truly believe cleaning dry lots and stalls daily (and stall rest horses twice a day) helps so much with this!!! What you do every day is SUPER important and we ALL appreciate it, David Strukel!!! Thanks, babe!!! ☺️☺️☺️🥹🥹🥹💜💜💜

So super proud of Fury!!! Daily, daily practice for him and he will get there!!! He’s honestly doing amazing and I’m proud of his hard work!!! 🥹🥹🥹💜💜💜🦄🦄🦄

I intentionally didn’t turn the lights on in the trailer because wanted to make it a little harder for him to make him even better at it. He definitely didn’t like it somewhat in the dark but I bet he loads better tomorrow!! It was rough at first but if this is the end result I’ll take it!!! 😅💜💜💜 Good job, Fury!!! You’re getting it!!! ☺️☺️☺️😅
