Took Pirate on a trail ride to try out his new head stall (made by SRB Equine) our ride ended up getting cut short because poor Pirate got stung by a bee on his nose!! He handled it really well thankfully, only swinging his head around and rubbing his nose on his leg afterwards and he had no reaction (swelling etc.) to the sting either. 🐝 🐴

Took Thor and Victor for a little ride today! Was a beautiful cool day for it!
On a side note: whats up with drivers today?! It felt like our road was a racetrack, so many people speeding past! Slow down, move over and pass respectfully please!! We do our best to walk in the ditch or on the side of the road to allow drivers to pass, we expect the same courtesy!

Available for Free Lease or adoption to the most perfect home.
Black Jack is a 25-30 yrs old mini Stallion.
He is very well behaved, he leads, ties, picks up his feet, is good for the farrier and vet.
I took Black Jack in as he urgently needed a home “or else” my plan was to geld and rehome him but much to my surprise the 17 yrs old stallion turned out to be 25-30 yrs old!! I considered keeping him but I’m not set up to keep a stallion long term and one of my other mini geldings keeps picking on him to the point he is now drawing blood. This is not fair to Black Jack so if he can find a new place to call home and he a companion to another little mini or pony gelding/stallion he would be quite happy with that! I would also consider sending him with his goat friend Ruthie!
Black Jack is utd on farrier, vet and has an appointment to have his teeth floated in September.
Please feel free to inquire with any questions.

Took Pirate for a little walk about today before the rain! 🌧️ I tried him bitless and he was really good, alot happier without a bit! Looks like I’ll have another bitless wonder🐴❤️

My sister went to the auction yesterday in Cobden, held by Jim Beere Auctioneer and purchased this mini mare. I think its worth noting the condition of this mini and how inhumane and cruel it is that not only was she sent thru auction, but that she was left in this state and sold on to be someone else’s problem!
This mini has likely foundered, her hooves are in aweful shape, it is obvious that they were very over grown and someone chopped them off to make them “look better”. She can barely walk, she stands with all her weight shifted to her hinds.
This is heartbreaking and unfair to this mini, who my sister has named Flicka. There should be authorities attending auctions to regulate the animals coming thru and to hold owners accountable for selling injured and sick animals, and the animals should be taken from said owners and be given the health care they need, it’s not right!
Flicka will be having a vet appointment as soon as we can get one and we will go from there whether we can treat her and give her a pain free life or if laying her to rest is the kindest thing to do for her.
I still cannot fathom that a human sent this poor creature thru auction in this condition, I’m angry and I’m sad for this poor mini!

Loki was clean and ready for the Merrickville fair tomorrow! I’ll see how clean he’s stayed tomorrow morning 🤦‍♀️😭

Also thought it was worth noting that a clean Loki dressed like superman is actually a new horse in the paddock that needs to be chased around and squealed at and worth fighting over 🤦‍♀️ why are stallions/ex-stallions like this 🤣😭🤦‍♀️

A few photos of the critters tonight ❤️ Nemo was watching Rosa in the shed like “why is there a goat in my house 🤔”

07/25/2024

The mini’s enjoying a free roam on the lawn ❤️🐴

Loki and Rebel are used to being loose but Black Jack is still new to it, so far he’s graduated to lead rope dragging on the ground as a “just in case”

07/24/2024

Before and after! The goaties have been busy, they’ve been loving it! Going to have to move them soon!

Rebel was happy to be out with Nova and Loki today! I’m now calling this crew Fight Club, while the fighting was scarce Rebel still threw hooves with Nova and even got on Loki’s bad side!

Rebel’s progress so far! I’ve done seemingly very little with him, only sitting with him and rewarding when he comes to me as well as removing him from being overstimulated by the other horses, and he’s settled right in.
