Hoof Skirt Ponies

We had a wonderful morning with some wonderful people.

I can’t believe this bot will be going to his new home in a couple weeks. He’s grown so much and he’s such a good boy.

Not great pictures but we tried Missy in her new cart today. OMG of all the carts I’ve ever driven this is the absolute smoothest even in the bumpy pasture and perfectly balanced. Then we switched out to the marathon cart and practiced sharp and fast turns around the trees. I need to figure out a way to get some weight off of her when she’s on pasture 24/7. Normally when my stalls are up I just take them off to control their intake. But while the barn is being rebuilt there are no paddocks.

Such amazing ponies. Can’t wait to get this new barn up for them.

Yeah 🎉 both girls are confirmed pregnant with a tiny heartbeat 💗 such a relief. Now fingers crossed for healthy mares and foals. Some filly sprinkles wouldn’t hurt 🤗

He’s getting so big. Sweet boy.

Baby boy got his 1st trim today he was perfect. I held the rope to take the photo but other than that I just stood next to him and scratched his neck. I guess playing with his feet since the day he was born sure paid off. He even let the littles walk him around. Not bad for 2.5 months old. Such a good boy 🐴

Hitched up Missy for a drive before it got too hot out. We tried out one of her new carriages. It was perfect 🤩

Spur of the moment trip to pick up the girls and baby Gus today. I’m SO happy to have them back. 5 weeks is too long. Gus is now almost 2.5 months old. His halter didn’t even fit him anymore. He is so sweet 🥹 I am so in love with these horses of mine. They are all so loved. 🥰 tomorrow I’m going to clip his baby coat and see what he looks like underneath.

Happy Gotcha Day Miss. You’ve come along way in the past year.

Woohoo 🥳 2 Pregnant Mares!!! Still super early and will need to be reconfirmed but this is AWESOME news 🎉🎉🎉🎉 🐴

08/07/2024

Waiting anxiously for the vet to call with confirmation that my two mares are indeed pregnant. I hope so. I hope so. I don’t wanna leave them there another month.

June 20/21 Summer Solstice artificial insemination day for both Gracie and Missy. Fingers crossed we have two pregnant mares. Last photo is the stallion. Due dates will be around May 27, 2025

Thank you Really for helping bathe ponies and prepare the trailer for hauling tomorrow. Missy and Gracie and baby Boomer (Angus) are heading to Loomis California for 4-6 weeks. We did a trial run in the trailer with baby to the gas station to see what the journey may present. They were both perfect and Gracie has never hauled well.

Looking to sell my two miniature horse super flex collars. They have the pairs ring added so they could be used by a pair. I only have 1 mini now that I rarely drive and his breast collar is fine. The collars are all black the photos are from the website where I bought them. I’ll try to find a photo of mine wearing the ones I’m selling. These are designed for a straight or slight draft, not designed for heaving low pulling. PM me if interested. Would prefer not to ship.

Happiest Happy 3rd Birthday Little Miss Secret. We love you so much.

Baby boy gave himself quite a bump on the nose yesterday. Tiny bit a blood and a good little knot on the bridge of his nose. Vet said it’s pretty common, until they learn how to use their brakes (he ran into the fence) poor baby.

A few more pictures from our show on Saturday

How many farm animals does it take to fix pasture sprinklers?

Once again, this sweet girl did not disappoint. Today we did a carriage driving show entered six classes. One of them was an obstacle course with cones, and she had never done that before, but after the first couple was perfect.

11/05/2024

This sweet little boy has found his new forever home. I’ll love every minute with him until he’s weaned and excited that he’s going to stay local, so we’ll get to see him grow and mature into an amazing driving horse. Congratulations Jenna and Brie and family.

This girl is so fun to show. She’s still learning but she tries hard.

03/05/2024

Today was our first time entering a Gypsy Breed show. I took my tiny Gypsy Mare. I learned more about showing than I could have imagined. I was and am blown away with gratitude for the community and kindness. I know this is a long post but I absolutely have to thank some amazing people who without their help I could have never made it through the day. Thank you to Tracey Leyme Osborne for all of your support and encouragement and for letting me borrow your show halter. Samantha from Starfire Gypsies who brought me to tears when she offered up one of her runners because my lungs just weren’t allowing me to run with my horse anymore. Last but not least my AMAZING support team. Really, Mary Anne Healy, Deanne, Kathie Peterson, Paul Cavin, and Jim they are the best crew ever. I can’t leave out my horse Secret (aka Missy) she was a trooper and boy was she exhausted after she placed in every class and we got a Reserve Champion 🏅

322 Days today. I can’t wait to meet her little foal. I sure love this little mare. She’s such a sweetheart 🥰. Thank you Really for helping.

Since the temps have only been in the 80’s today is the 3rd day in a row that Little Miss Secret had a few minutes of ground work. Today I used a whip with a bag tied to it for desensitization…..Well clearly she wasn’t phased 😂. Such a good girl, we even worked on moving out for lunging and changing directions. She’s so smart. Like always we also worked on leading, backing and yielding. She’s SO smart and willing. Can’t wait to start ground driving her. But thinking we’ll stick to establishing solid cues and ground manner for a little longer. So precious 🥰🥰

First time in the pasture and with 1 of the other 4 horses. Her and Gracie did a little squawking then just ignored each other, Gracie stuck around for scratches while Little Miss Secret explored and ran around 🥰. Hoping to have all 5 out together soon but need to be sure they have plenty of time to become friends though the fence first.
