Polo—henceforth known as Apollo—is off to grand new adventures with his family. Monja, Jeff and Apollo left this morning to head home to Colorado. We are so thrilled to be able to stay close and see Apollo grow up with such love!

Second night out giving carriage rides for the kids! Saturday we were invited to Henry County for rides at Nash Farm Battlefield for their Christmas Event. IT WAS BUSY!! People waited in line for an hour for a ride (sorry for the delays but we just didn’t expect that many people 😞)

It’s coming along!
Rock wall foundation is in.
Run walls and roof framing are built.
Hardware cloth is being painted.
Still ways to go, but hopefully it’ll be done by next weekend.

Mechanical Saturday, weeee… 🤐
Our Mighty Mule was giving us troubles.
Sure, it took a month, but it’s done! And at less than 1/4 the cost we were quoted by a semi-local dealer.

Sputtered and stalled a lot. Traced to bad ignition coils.

Bad shifter gear inside the transmission causing it to pop out of gear, a lot. Required removing axels and dropping the sub frame, and ordering a couple specialty tools. Great learning lesson. (In all fairness, we did send the transmission to a friend’s friend to pull apart once it was out.)

Polo has found his person! Congratulations baby Polo (Battle River Ink x River Oaks Leelah) on catching the heart of our friend Bastan. Polo will leave for Colorado later in the year, and has a bright future as a riding and driving horse.

Perry Day 2
Halter this morning with Liam Annie and Prince taking blues and Liam named Grand Champion Heavy Draft Stallion for the second year in a row. Duchess showed in light draft mare halter, but didn’t ribbon. She was of course the only American Cream Draft in a class of 14 horses, so at least we got to show a few extra people our rare gem!

Horses got lots of turnout time and enjoyed meeting the public in the warm up arena.

We got away from the barns a bit to see the cirque Ma’Ceo, (a relative to California’s Zoppe Circus!) with Matt, Adrienne, Heather, Isis and Mom.

We enjoyed being spectators at the draft show this evening.

Just a few (dozen) photos of little Polo. This personable and energetic c**t is really coming along well! He’s leading and tying nicely, ponies on trails, has crossed bridges and water, been hooked with his mom for ground driving, and has his feet professionally trimmed. He’ll be available at weaning in late 2024.
