🇺🇸 Wishing you & your loved ones a happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸

We were asked to pull the Everett Fire Department's steam fire engine through their Independence Day parade. 🚒 The firefighters & their families are wonderful folks and we always feel honored to be given this opportunity. As you look at the horses (L-R), we used Havoc, Pat and Colton.

The horses were fan favorites and after the parade we spent 20 minutes or so letting the fire fighter families pet the horses. 🇺🇸 It was a wonderful way to celebrate Independence Day. 🇺🇸

Much thanks to Ken, Jim and Trinity for spending their day with Curt and me (Terrie) AND the horses! And much thanks to Vicki for braiding with me early this morning! It takes an experienced team of people to make this happen.

𝑼𝑷𝑫𝑨𝑻𝑬: 𝑨𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒍 𝑭𝒐𝒐𝒍𝒔!
Some of you noticed that Carson is a gelding... "he's" and "his". Good on you! 😄

You guys! We're SO EXCITED! Our family used to breed Percherons but it became more and more difficult to have someone present when mares foaled and there's no guarantee that a dappled grey Percheron mare bred to a dappled grey Percheron stallion will produce a dappled grey foal (they're born black). So for the most part we don't breed and raise up foals anymore. I certainly miss seeing those babies in the fields.

SO, THE NEWS! We just found out that our newest horse, Carson, is with foal!!! (This isn't 𝐡𝐢𝐬 photo... 𝐡𝐞'𝐬 still in Canada.) I can hardly wait to see another beautiful baby Percheron running around the paddocks. It's been years! I've missing seeing those adorable long legs, the long eyelashes, the fuzzy coat and the adorable nickers. ❤️❤️❤️

Having Fun is What it's all About: Willard Wilder hops on board one of his favorite horses, Valley View Koncaralta Degas, "Kon." The dapple grey stallion was part of the Valley View Percherons breeding operation in the eighties. Over thirty-five years later, this horse would have stacked up well against today's competition: look at his heel.
