2nd group weaned just ahead of the cold front. Here are a few of them just an hour or 2 after weaning, they are still hollering for their mamas. We leave them on the mama until they are at least 6 months old to give them a better start at life, there is no substitute for mama's milk. Leaving them on any longer is too hard on the mamas, especially the older ones.
This is the 3 year old, totally untouched colt, Rainy Whisper MA, that sold yesterday and got to his new home last night. Josh sent this short clip of what he was able to do with him in just an hour or so this morning.
Thanks so much, Josh Puryear. We look forward to more videos in the future.
What are you wishing for this Christmas?

This untouched, yearling, blue roan filly, arrived at her new home 9 days ago and the buyers, Sydney and Collin, of Colorado, soon to be Wyoming, are so happy with her. This is what they shared with us.
"Good morning! She’s all settled in and walked right into her stall from the trailer. She definitely has a good mind and I love her already. Can’t wait to start working with her once she feels comfortable with her new home." - (this was on November 21st, the day she arrived)
-Nov 23rd -"I think her butt is already about as tall as my mare so I’m sure she’ll end up well over 15 hands. I’m really impressed with her so far." - her expected height is 16 hands or so
-Nov 24th -"Hello! The video is from her first time being brushed today. She really liked it. I wasn’t planning on putting a halter on her today but she literally stuck her nose in it. I took it on and off probably 5 or so times and just worked on her giving to pressure to turn. I am beyond happy impressed with her and how willing she is to learn. Thank you for sharing her with me! I’m in love with her ❤️ You’re definitely doing it right! Everyone at the barn is really impressed with her as well "
-Nov 26th- "Second time in a halter just working on bending and giving to pressure. I have to do it this way because she follows me everywhere and I can’t put any pressure on the halter if I’m asking her to give to the side I’m on lol. We also worked on picking up her feet yesterday and she did great. If I didn’t know better, I would think she learned all of this as a baby and just needs a refresher.
Her name is probably going to be Diva. I think it’s cute!
Feel free to share any of these on your Facebook. I don’t have one, but I feel like it really shows how great the horses are that you’re producing! ", and we definitely are sharing!
Nov 30th- "Diva is doing great and I can pickup and clean all 4 hooves, she can be turned out and caught easily, learning how to tie, starting
We hope everyone has a blessed day.
From all of us here at MA Quarter Horses

1st group of gorgeous babies are weaned!!
The fastest way to ease stress and lower my blood pressure is to walk through the herd.
Do you think horses are therapeutic? I don't know if they increase my days or not but they sure increase my joy within each day.
We hope you're having a great day.
Day # 5 of training, untouched up to this point.

The heatwave broke. Rainy day blessings, 70 degrees, and the colts are loving it. What are your favorite colts in this video?

This gorgeous 3-year-old had never been touched as of 5 days ago. He can now stand tied, lead, load, have his feet picked up and trimmed.

Sire: Salty Mo Blue MA x Salty Blue Hancock

How are y'alls horses doing in the heat?
It was fortunate timing and I was able to spot Salty Mo Blue MA, his mares, and babies gathered up getting water before the temperature soared over 100. I took advantage and did a quick walk-through.
