Caddo Creek Farm

It was a busy morning as I helped Rachel Winn and Bubba get packed and loaded for their long journey. They will be traveling north for about 3 days with multiple layovers. We gave big hugs 🤗
No tears. Just joy felt for her new adventures and gratitude for our friendship. Godspeed Bubba and Rachel 🩵🙏🏻

Trigger and Bubba were able to say goodbye to one another. Bubba loaded up fairly quickly and Trigger didn’t panic when he left. Fortunately, Trigger has a few mares over the fence line to keep him occupied. (He is also a very independent soul. )
Stay tuned for updates on Bubba.

Do you know what the hardest part of owning a horse boarding facility is?
Having to say goodbye to the horses that you fell in love with….

Dear Drivers,
My most valued possession is inside the trailer behind my truck. He stepped into that rolling steel box because I asked him to and he trusts me. He’s a living, breathing creature, and all 1200lbs of him are precariously balanced on four tiny hooves as my truck and trailer wind down the road.
My horse is not a boat or camp trailer, and I cannot stop quickly or turn sharply without risking his safety and even his life.
Know that I will do just about anything to avoid hitting the brakes with a horse in my trailer. However, if your Suburban is hidden in the blind spot behind my two-horse trailer and I do have to stop suddenly, you’re too close to stop without ending up in the trailer with my horse.
When I make those wide turns, I need them to prevent my horse from scrambling. Please give me room and time to turn.
And that large distance between me and the vehicle in front of me? It might look like enough room to fit three sedans bumper to bumper, but it’s actually the distance I need to stop softly and safely without my horse falling.
Those times when we’re headed up a hill, my speed is as fast as I can go. My foot has the accelerator pressed to the floor, and no matter how hard you try, your Honda can’t push us up this hill. I promise I’ll move to the right lane when it becomes available or pull over if I find a safe spot on the shoulder, but until then I ask for your patience and some space.
Lastly, my setup weighs 3 tons, and that much weight prevents me from swerving. When you pass me going 80 mph uphill on a blind corner, you don’t just put my horse at risk: Your driving threatens the lives of the oncoming driver, my passenger, me, you, and everyone in the vehicles behind us.
So next time you see a horse trailer, assume an animal’s in there. Please give the them some space and offer some patience. By driving safely, we’ll all get where we’re going.
Thank you, horse owner
❤

It was a bittersweet morning as I said goodbye to Prince and his dad, Tom Starkey. Prince is moving to a new barn much closer to Tom, so that he can visit his boy more often. He will be joining 2 other geldings.
Thank you, Tom Starkey for entrusting me with his care. “TWC Awesome’s Prince”👑 will be missed. He is a sweet boy. Godspeed 🩵🩵

Sadly, we have lost many hens this year. We had 9 hens and a rooster, and currently only have 4 hens and a rooster ( Mr. Blue)
Some died from the heat. Others were picked off by an unknown predator. We finally caught the thief on tape.

It was a young coyote. That’s nature. Farm life isn’t always rosey.
