This is my goat. 🐐

When I say -my- goat, I mean he thinks he’s my favorite. He believes with the utmost confidence that no other goat exists to me besides him.

His -not quite right in the head- and -endearing d***y- personality has him very delusional, however I feed into it because who can’t love a -don’t stare too long or you’ll go blind- face like his!?

He’s the epitome of an old billy goat who’s seen it all in his day and had to goat waddle up hill both ways to the farmhouse at feeding time. The things he’s seen and the things he’s endured makes the perfect recipe for a quirky old, kind, yet missing some marbles goat friend.

He’s never late for food, his bahaa is soft and crackly and his eyes get soft with sweetness anytime he sees me.

I tell him he’s my favorite, even though he’s not. I don’t dote on him nearly as much as -the favorite- but he knows nothing less and accepts each loving pat or small chat like he may never get another chance. He lives for the moment and treasures what each day brings. A happy attitude about everything and a passion for the simple life.

He may be -just a goat- but he’s -my goat- and we could all use a goat friend that shows us life lessons.

Gods creatures.

Before we flipped the bale over we realized Amigo loves his Hay Chix net so much that he tried to copy the daisy chain with his forelock. He got creative bonus points for choosing burrs to help get the look.🦄

Miss Adira has been livin and lovin the farm life ♥️

She checks on all the horses, pretends to chase the goats but then runs from them seeing if they’ll play with her, finds apples or trash and brings them to me, runs..runs.. and runs, then runs some more. And leaps.. her name is Adeera apparently and not Adira. 🤪

Only 16 months old and is still a lot of puppy but acts more grown everyday. Missing the little pot belly baby she was.

Wild & Free to Inspiring Our Youth 👏🏼

Can’t say enough wonderful things about this amazing group of school horses. A few aren’t pictured but they deserve just as much praise & carrots for their hard work. 🥕

They put in a summer of over 300 kids from lessons to camps to play dates to pamper parties.

Their busy time of year has come to an end and they are into their 3 season schedule of part time work. Plus some additional season end spoils. 🛁

I can always tell by the second to last camp of the summer that they are ready for the last few kids to say their goodbyes on the last day of camp.

The last day is bittersweet as we lead them to their pasture. Taking the halter off, they each are thanked for a successful summer helping making young kids dreams come true.

So proud of them ☺️

These great companies have helped contribute to the happiness of these horses in some way.

I’ve got some crooked boards.
I’ve got over grown grass.
I’ve got pens that need cleaning.
I’ve got a sink full of dishes.
I’ve got 87 mini projects going on.

Know what else I’ve got??

♥️Amazing horses!
♥️Beautiful farm!
♥️Fantastic friends!
♥️Caring staff!

Today at my kids summer horse camp this cute little lady was T E R R I F I E D to even be near the horses and wouldn’t even put a helmet on knowing it meant she would ride.

EVERY SINGLE volunteer and staff took their time with her to show her why horses do what they do, explain the horse’s personalities and why we chose this one for her, knelt down to talk to her at her level and talked with her not at her. They instilled understanding and confidence while showing her empathy and compassion.

When you surround yourself with people that are genuine, caring, honest, trustworthy, responsible and respectful you (and in my case, my horse school) will thrive!

Life continually evolves, closes doors, opens doors and surprises us. How lucky are we to enjoy the ride (of life and on a horse 😉)

She’s a bit gangly right now as she’s grown 2 1/2 inches in a just over a month!! 📈

She’s sleek from the recent growth spurt but has that lean young horse mass. Her neck is getting a bit thicker at the base, doesn’t have that baby feel anymore. She’s attentive yet cautious and adapting. She’s mentally more relaxed as she looks to me for guidance and is productively more responsive each day.

Watching each phase of her growth, not just physically, but emotionally and mentally as well has been pretty cool. In awe of each transformation and chapter of her life.

Starting them out myself is beyond rewarding. I’m a bit behind on where I’d like to be because, well life. There’s always farm work, kids everywhere, students showing up, friends stopping over, cooking, cleaning, etc etc.

For the work I have put in, we grow together each time. She nickers at me every time she sees me, walks up to me and sometimes she wants to play after a forehead scratch by turning and hopping around. She always gets to a certain distance that says “I’m just excited to see you, I’m not running off” and turns around and is ready to go to work. 💪🏼

She’s special in ways I can’t describe and she gives me all the Smokey vibes, which seems impossible but yet she’s sharing that piece of my heart with him.

Little did I know the stars aligned when I named her Fate. ⭐️🎯

Love walking out to the pasture to just gaze at them 🥰

Fully immerse into everything horses!

Lots of riding! It is truly all horses at horse camp!

They enjoy a structured, personally tailored riding lesson! The lesson includes riding games that positively fuel their love for horses.

Our farm animals need hugs and treats and what better way to spoil them by letting our campers interact with them?!?

Goat cuddles too, but only for a bit because this is horse camp not goat camp ;)

To ensure as much fun, safety and learning as possible we group our campers into age and ability around horses.

Age 5-15 yrs

💪🏼They worked their butts off in classes and doing all things you should do before and after a riding lesson.

They took care of their lesson horse.
They cleaned up after themselves and their horses.
They were kind to the horses, each other and their instructor.
They asked good questions.
They smiled and laughed.

….so why not reward them with a gift bag and T-shirt!!!!

Way to go ladies! Kathryn and I are so proud of you!

The camp horses get a lunch break when the kids do! What do the horses get you ask!?!

💗Hay! Thank you Hay Chix for keeping the hay tidy. Less waste and more fuel for the ponies!

💗Water with electrolytes 💦

💗Loosened cinches so their bellies are comfy 🛏️

💗Sweet nothings whispered to them as the kids walk by 🤫

Camp horses are a breed in their own. They deserve all the credit and love for being patient while kids whom have never or barely rode learn to navigate how to use their hands, legs, body and voice while riding.

They need to be calm enough to not overreact when a rider is learning how to steer or squeeze with their legs because sometimes they might pull or kick too hard as they learn.

They need to be reactive enough to listen to lighter and gentle cues that are more accurate.

It’s no easy task and they of course all have their quirks but at the end of the day these horses are worth their weight in gold 💛
