Some pretty “nature color” at the farm on this gorgeous fall day!

The MVS Fall Festival was SO MUCH fun thanks to an awesome festival team and a great turnout from the community! Approximately 75 folks attended for pony rides, carnival games, hayrides, cupcake walks, and a campfire. While I forgot to take pictures, here are some shared from others. From a team meeting to setup to “play” and to eating, a fun time was had by all! ❣️

A group from MVS supported the King's Home “King’s Stables” fundraiser - Horses and Hounds Halloween Parade - in Sylacauga today. It was sooo much fun! The pups and horses did GREAT, and we won the “Best in Show” award in the costume contest. ‼️ Thank you, Hilary Jones Williamson, for inspiring us to participate! 👏🏻
As a reward for their amazing behavior, I bought the horses new tires for their trailer before we headed home. 🤣😇😉

September fun at MVS! Relays, races, and games, as well as food and drink, with our MVS family during a wedding shower then an evening of fun and fellowship. Both events were tremendously fun! ❣️

We are so excited to have this sweet and adorable little man join our MVS family! ‼️❣️🥰 Welcome, Silo (a.k.a. Captain Silo Ship)! 👏🏻

Little, thoughtful acts can make a BIG difference! ❣️‼️ On Saturday, I discovered this wonderful and thoughtful surprise of an added hose, shutoff valve after telling my husband (our MVS property manager) a story of significant frustration I experienced late Friday night related to the lack of a nozzle or cutoff on this hose. Who knew a person could feel tremendously loved upon discovering the addition of a shutoff valve?!?!?!? 🥰🤣🙏🏼❣️❣️❣️❣️

❣️The Saga That is Our Sweet and Handsome Lex❣️

1. Broken Jaw Bone & Subsequent Surgeries 😢($$$$)
* When a yearling (11 months old, actually), he got kicked in the jaw at MVS by a visiting mare. (Should never have happened, but that’s a long story I won’t tell here especially since it happened on someone else’s watch, so to speak.)
* Without x-rays, the initial treatment plan for that injury included antibiotics and anti-inflammatories plus a wait-and-see re: the response and level of healing.
* Once it became clear that the injury was more involved than initially hoped, he was hauled for x-rays then hauled again for TWO surgeries to repair a broken jawbone. 😭
* At almost two years after the surgeries, he still has shrapnel that occasionally works it way out of the spot of injury.

2. Persistent Respiratory Issues ($$$ or $$$$ collectively)
* As a two-year-old (20 month old, actually), he experienced persistent respiratory issues that weren’t responding to multiple and differing strengths of antibiotics. 😢 So, he was hauled to have an endoscopy, during which no additional problems were noted, thankfully! Whew!!! 👏
* The respiratory infection finally cleared up after treatment with an even stronger antibiotic.

3. Shy Testicles 🤣😂🤣 ($$$$)
* Hauled for a vet visit to potentially geld but the “goods” that were previously visible were gone. (Note to self and advice to others: Even if you previously saw the boy’s “goods,” check to make sure they’re still there before hauling him to the vet to be gelded. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤣)
* Waited months to see if the goods would reappear/appear. No such luck. 😏
* Officially assumed to be a bilateral cryptorchid. Appointment made for surgery.
* Hauled for the pre-op consult and potential surgery. The vet could neither FEEL (via physical exam) nor SEE (via ultrasound) the undescended testicles, so blood was drawn to be tested to determine if testicular tissue was indeed present. Hauled back home to await results from lab.
* Lab results indicated that the tissue in question was present. Referred to Auburn for laparoscopic surgery to avoid a more invasive abdominal surgery.
* Hauled to Auburn’s Large Animal Teaching Hospital today and dropped off to have surgery either tomorrow or Wednesday. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
* To be continued. 🤔

Little Luna engaged in a fight with the pole fencing yesterday, and the horizontal pole won. 😢😔
I’m thankful for our awesome barn manager, Hannah, for getting those legs medicated and wrapped to address the swelling! ❣️

2024 MVS Farm Camp Day #1‼️

06/05/2024

We’re so excited about our “Farm Camp” Day Camp next week!! ‼️ And, we have a few more spots open! ‼️ See info below. 🐴🐭🐰🦊🐸🦉🐝🦇🪱🦋🐛🐞🪰🐢🕷🦎🐾🌳🪵🌿🍄🌾🌼🐎🌸🍀🪺🐀🪶🐍🐜🐦🐌🪲🐈‍⬛🦝

Mountain View Stables in Pinson, Alabama will be offering an Outdoor “Farm Camp” on June 10 - 13, Monday - Thursday, from 9:00 am - 3:00 pm.
The theme for the week is “Fun on the Farm.” Activities will include, but will not be limited to, outdoor environmental exploration and education; horse-related activities including safety, grooming, and horseback riding; crafts; music; outdoor & indoor games; and community building. While the camp is onsite at a horse farm, the main focus will be environmental with horse-related activities incorporated into each day. Camp activities will be most appropriate for children ages 9 - 12. However, requests can be made for an age exception, especially for a sibling of a camper. Approval of an age exception request will be at the sole discretion of the camp director and owner of MVS.

The camp fee is $200 per child. For an additional fee, arrangements can be made for early drop-off or late pickup before and after camp hours if parents absolutely need to drop off early or pickup a bit past 3:00 pm.

Campers will need bring a bagged/box lunch each day, but snacks and drinks will be provided throughout each day.

Dropped by ONLY to pickup a saddle I previously left for repair. Walked out with the saddle PLUS eight other pieces of tack! 🤷🏻‍♀️ Stopping by a tack store IS risky business! 🤣
(Of course, I want at least one of everything made and sold by Valley Head Saddlery, so leaving with only eight unexpected items is pretty good. Hahaha!)

Serenity at MVS’s Meditation Point! 🌼🦋🌻🍀🌲🐝🌎🐛🌳🦎🦉🍄🐜🦗🐌🦠🦞🪻🪱🪲🕷️🐿️🕸️🌿🍃💧🌱🐢🐞🌸

A little ride time today at MVS! #MVSriders #MVS

“Let me help, Mom!”

All horse farms have cowgirls carrying around balloon arches, right?!?!?! 🤣

First day of farm camp was hot but so much fun!! One camper had her first ever ride on a horse and learned to lead Dixie. At the end of the day, teamwork ensued for a trough cleaning task then somehow???? the team ended up soaking wet! 🤣😂🤣🤣 Lots of laughter, playful screaming, and getting soaked with cool water makes for a great way to end a hot day of camp! #farmcamp2023 #loadsoffun #mvs

Horse Medicine Tip: Even if the boy was previously showing the goods in his sack, check it one last time before taking him to get gelded. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣😂😬 #thesagathatislex #myfirstrodeoforgettingonegelded #ninetyfivedollarlesson #ihavepicturestoprovetheywerethere (YES, I KNOW it’s ascended not descended. I was in a moment of shock, people. Give me some grace! 😂🤣🤷🏻‍♀️ At least the vet said I was by far not the only one this had happened to! Whew! 🤭)

Louise sporting her hay strand, hair extension, and Belle trying to nibble Bridget’s finger. 🤦🏻‍♀️ #sillyequines

The very handsome Two Crows in Happy Dance mode after sneaking into the feed room behind Bridget! 😂🤣😂 #whereismyfood #everywhereyougo #handsometwocrows #twocrows

Two Crows

Alexis Moulter of Problems to Pleasure Horsemanship wanted to see how MVS’s newest family member, Two Crows, liked to move. He’s a prancy and handsome boy for sure! 💕 #MVS #TwoCrows #problemstopleasurehorsemanship

Who needs a GoPro?!?!?! #sweetdixieride

Darling Dixie

Senior, rescue horse Dixie is very happy to clean up the alfalfa soak mess his MVS sister Cheyenne made when she very intentionally pushed her bucket over, but he clearly won’t win the “Quietest Eater Award.” Hahaha! 🤣😂🤣🤷🏻‍♀️ #loudeaterdixie #sweetdixie #dixiesaysiwilleatit
