2024
As we look back on 2024 we remember those we’ve welcomed to the farm - and also those we’ve lost.
Please take a moment to remember our beloved lesson horse Betty, & Brennan the goat.
We welcomed baby Clay, and Xena, goats Dale, Brennan, & Brenna, and barn kitties wreckers & checkers!

A vocal roll, after a great morning ride! I love seeing our senior horses thriving! 🫶🏻
Why horses roll:
Coat maintenance: Rolling in dust or mud helps remove loose hairs, dry wet coats, and can act as a natural insect repellent.
Temperature regulation: Rolling in dirt can help cool a horse down after exercise.
Itchy relief: Horses may roll to scratch hard-to-reach areas on their body.
Pleasure: Just like humans, horses may roll simply because it feels good.
Chiropractic: self adjustment!
It's hard to choose which one is my favorite.
Which one has your vote?

Should I let her ride? Or send her away????

This is packer country after all! Go pack go! 💛💚
Our weanling turns into a yearling on New Year's Day! 🎂
Weanling = young animal that has been
weaned from its mother's milk and is now eating solid food independently.
Yearling = A young horse that is between one
and two years old. Yearlings are similar to early adolescents in their development and are not fully physically mature

The week between Christmas & New years! Some call it twixmas, or feral week.
How are you spending it???
Cal understood the assignment - keeping kids busy over Christmas break!
This is our miniature horse, leased to one of our lucky lesson families! ❤️
When the dogs are away the kitties will play!

Snows coming!!
As a farmer, I never believe the weather man!
Make your predictions, comment here! I predict 3 inches or less.
In all seriousness - if you do not feel safe on the road, stay home! No big deal.
