Yesterday, I watched with satisfaction as my hay guy dropped two fresh round bales in with the babies. Then, he dropped a third to be put in storage. We pushed it in next to the remains of a fourth round bale. I don't have to worry about hay for at least a month. Hay has always been a source of w[...]
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[...]

We planned this weekend to get the babies trailer loading. That didn't go to plan. But, one thing I'd learned with horses is doing some ambitious plan will force me what we need to work on. In this case, we were walking them up to the trailer, through the big field that the horses are norma[...]
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[...]
With the deep freeze coming through last week, it has been rough on the farm. The pipes froze in the barn which meant that Dave and I were hauling buckets of water down from the house. Not fun at all, and I feel especially bad for Dave as he was alone last week, hauling buckets of water for five hor[...]
When Stu was born, he had a teeny little hernia. It was so small that I didn't even notice it until the vet pointed it out during the vet check. I've never had a horse with a hernia before, having never owned a horse so young. It isn't uncommon in babies - It's basically a spot in the a[...]
Despite all my efforts to discover time travel, the years continue to go by faster and faster. Tomorrow, I'm going to wake up 80 years old. To maximize the moments I have left, I am actually going to set some goals this year. I don't think I set any last year, and then I ended up buying a baby horse[...]
It's the time of year for everyone to make recaps, so this is as close as I'm getting! I'm still terrible at creating videos, but hopefully, I will get better. Here is Stu's life, up until now: https://youtu.be/QOK_63a5zxQ The more I get to know him, the more I love him. The highlight[...]
Stu has now been on my farm for a week and a half. He was a bit shy when he first arrived, but he's really come out of his shell now. He was shy, but curious before, and now he's not as shy, but still very curious. He loves to start mischief, and one of his first orders of business was to get into t[...]
