A few weeks after I birthed the twins, my Pony came back from lease. The trainer said he was the world's best pony and he was wonderful, but she wasn't getting enough business to justify keeping him. That's fine, I took him right back. When he got back, I was surprised to find him more assertive th[...]
After spending most of last year as a lesson pony, Pony has returned to me. My understanding was that he was the world's best pony at his lesson barn. I'm not sure of the exact details though. I really should have asked though. If there's one thing I love, it's hearing how great my pon[...]
Another big update on the farm: Pony Man has a job! I am thrilled that he will finally be doing something, but the sad part is that it isn't with me. I leased him to a lesson/training barn, and he's going to be a lesson pony. Puffing himself up to impress the ladies It was hard to let h[...]

Over the weekend we did Weanling Walk 2: The Reckoning. Weanling Walk 1 is here. Weanling Walk 2 ended up being much better! Who would have thought a sequel would have been better than the original?! This time, I stuck a camera similar to a GoPro on my head and recorded the who[...]
This last weekend was as action packed as any horse-obsessed person could want. It had all the excitement of a lesson, baby horses, moving hay, and a horse show! I need an extra day off to recover from this madness. Today's topics - Lesson and hay. I was half-heartedly looking at n[...]
Pony, being a full grown 5 year old pony, needs to get out and see the world. I can show him the world.... you know, if I feel like. But in this case, D'Arcy will show him the world. She started by riding him last weekend. So, to give you a brief recap of the life of Pony, I bought him[...]
Now the thrilling conclusion of the TTouch Blog Mini Series. I only have three equines, so I can only do so much with this topic. Today's contestant: Pony Man, a 5-year-old, medium sized pony with a heart filled with arrogance, and cowardliness, in equal measures. He enjoys galloping up to greet[...]
