Over 10 years after I bought a pony to teach my future children how to ride, he is finally teaching my first child. To be fair to him, I bought him as a yearling, and he was in no way ready to be ridden by children. He needed years to grow up, go through training, put on his big pony pan[...]
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[...]
Since I almost never talk seriously about Pony Man, you'd be forgiven for expecting that he's just a random pony I picked up on the side of the road. Well, that's only half true! He's a random pony I picked up next to a breeder's farm on the side of the road! But in all actuality, he's a registered[...]
My deck overlooks my pasture, and I've been wanting to experiment with getting overhead photos of the horses. One day the horses were hanging out by the deck so I seized my chance. While I didn't get exactly what I was looking for, I love their reactions. Pony is trying to figure out[...]
Poor poor Ponyman, who seems to get hardly any attention from anyone. He's not as desperately needy as Stu, and finds him annoying, so he just keeps to himself away from the herd. When I give him attention, he soaks it up like a plant taking in the sunlight. He's a good boy, my original ins[...]
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 long weekend was a fun weekend of visitors! And I popped up on Eventing Nation! I have officially peaked, it's time to retire. Shelby came back up, and naturally, she had to see the little babies. I think she was a hit with them. Stubert and Shelby doing the official muzzle bump greetin[...]
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[...]
