Today was Joy’s 19th birthday! To me, she doesn’t look a day over 5. 😉

It was a busy day in general, so no cleaned up photos this year: it’s all Joy complete with mud on her cheeks and curiosity over what could be in my hand (which she did get a peppermint treat this morning 😋). She’s happy as a clam and I’m happy to have this old girl in my life.

So big happy birthday to my Sounding Joy! ❤️ 🎂

We have a snow storm that set in since 3pm today and will last until Sunday morning. Everyone was very happy to come in early and get cozy. 🥶

Everyone stay warm and safe this weekend!

Sharing for anyone in their route that is needing a hauler!

I forgot to mention in my post last night that Lucky Horse brought Kate down to training in March with her driving equipment and they did phenomenal taking care of her! Consider them for your horse transportation needs!

It is time to start building our upcoming trips 🍀

I had completely forgotten to post that Kate had left the farm around springtime to head off to training. But I’d like to announce that today she came home!

She spent all spring and most of summer learning to drive. She did phenomenal and it is so wonderful to have a cart pony again!! Will definitely post photos of her pulling a cart as we get re acclimated to driving again.

Just wanted to give a HUGE THANK YOU to Dorothy and Julie Childs for taking such good care of our girl these last couple of months! We really enjoyed our time visiting and getting driving lessons when Kate was ready for us to learn. And thank you to Don Yaw of Saddle View Farm LLC for bringing her and her driving equipment home. ❤️❤️❤️

She’s filling out nicely, don’t you think? 🥰

Happy Birthday to our barn cat, Zubilon! Zubi turns 11 on the 11th today! 😁

It was tough getting a picture of him today because all he wanted was attention. This was the best one. 😄

A big Happy 18th to our Morgan mare, Joy!! I wish I could’ve gotten an outside photo today, but this photo was taken during the dinner turn in where she got a big ol’ tasty bucket! And she got a candy cane for a treat! She’s a happy horse now! 😁

Here’s to many more years with this lovable girl! 🥰

After being stuck in the barn for 3 days due to Winter Storm Elliot, everyone finally got to go out an stretch. Boy did they have a lot of energy to burn! (And plenty of snow banks to get stuck in! 😄)

Hope everyone is having a very Merry Christmas today! 🎄

Just wanted to make the announcement that Scarlet is now in a new home!

Over the weekend, she made the journey south to her new farm where she's going to be everything a Kerry Bog can be: a future riding/driving pony, kid's pony, and broodmare!

For the last three days, she has been getting acclimated to her new friends and new pastures, and new owner Tammy says she has been doing great and everyone is in love.

Congratulations to Tammy Rost and family of Terre Haut, Indiana - and to Scarlet!

⚠️ We still have some room, just one or two more horses on this trip could make a world of difference for us this winter 🐴 💚

🛣️ Updated tentative Route 🚦

🦃 November 28th-through first week of December 🎅

🗓️ All dates, exact routes and times are approximate
🧭 Updated tentative route 🗺️

Up to 8 inches of snow fell over the course of yesterday afternoon, and the mares had a great time being turned out in it this morning!

Scarlet wasn't sure what to make of it at first, but towards the end, she figured it out! :)

We start with what we call "light weaning" when we see that the dam is ready to be done. We will typically start by putting our foals in their own stalls at night, but will let them back out with their mothers in the morning. This gets the foals used to the idea of being by themselves (and moms a chance to get a breather). But over the week, Scarlet has shown signs that she doesn't really need her mother anymore. So as of today, mom and baby are officially on their own.

With the weaning, this marks the beginning of Lily's retirement as a broodmare. It's a bittersweet moment, but we are seeing her aging in her hips and knees and her last pregnancy was hard on her towards the end. She has produced some very nice foals for us, and we feel she deserves to start her golden years early. 💛

So far, she and Scarlet are handling the separation fantastically, and Lily is definitely happy to have her own space with her own food. ☺️

Scarlet's foal coat is coming in dark! And with her little ginger mane and tail, it's such a pretty look!

Kili got a good thorough bath and brushing today! Had to take a picture or two because we knew he'd roll in the dirt the second we turned him back out. 😆

The girls did good for the farrier yesterday. Their reward? Go out for the first time this year in the back pasture with the yummy tall grass! 🤩

Scarlet got her first farrier work done yesterday! Look at that tiny little hoof trimming!

Scarlet LOVES being petted and scritched/groomed (and even offers to groom back every time). She's a happy baby.

Sleepy baby! (Picture taken Friday afternoon.)This filly also officially has a name! We're calling her Scarlet!

Today is the 6th birthday of our junior stallion, Kili!

Today was too windy and muddy for a good brushing and cleaning, but he at least stood pretty for a conformation shot. He's very curious about the new baby just born the night before!

Look at this cute little face! 🥰

We haven't decided on a name yet, but she's an absolute cutie!

Comparison photo!

On the left is our filly, Sweetie.

On the right is her maternal grandsire, The Spotted Badger as a young stallion. Badger also appears a second time in her pedigree as a paternal great-grandsire.

We are just astounded at how much they look alike!

We'll probably be doing another comparison photo of these two again once Sweetie has finished filling out! ;)

Happy Birthday to Silverlight Sweet of Heart, who turns 2 years old today!

We got Sweetie back last summer when her owner needed to rehome her. (We hadn't made the announcement due to family issues keeping us preoccupied at the time). Since we've had her back, we've been delighted in watching her grow and find her valuable place within the herd. Since she reminds us of her grandsire, The Spotted Badger, we decided to retain her for our future breeding program.

Today’s the 340 mark!! Poor mama Lily’s getting uncomfortable, but no waxing yet. So gotta be any day!!
