Paddock clean-up Thanks to all the volunteers

With Wonder away it was time to bring Kaylee back to the street side paddock. She immediately started to graze on everything in site. This may be part of her recent belly problems. So, time for a cleanup. The call was put out on a friday night and the next day we had 9 volunteers to help clear the way.

Jai doing what she does best



Jai demonstares the proper way to lift a babies leg for hoof cleaning and inspection. A wise lesson to learn lest you wear a baby knee to the head. They may be little but they are STRONG.

Foal training is growing

With every passing week more and more volunteers show for foal training. It's a great way to spend some time with the babies and take part in their development.

Kaylee learning its ok to have things on your back.
Good training for when the blanket is needed in the fall.
Jen P. with Bella. learning to adapt to changing surfaces.

A sad day for some, Joyful for others

My buddy went to his new foster home today, For the past 4 months our daily visits to the barn had me splitting my time between Kaylee and Wonder. I hadn't realized at first but he was a big reason I was beginning to enjoy the visits more and more. While he was intimidating, nippy and pushy to most, he almost always showed me respect in the stall or paddock. Of course there were times he wanted no part of it (but then again he was still a baby even though he didn't look it)

Jen we wish you the best of luck with Wonder. I know he will teach you as much as you teach him.
He has the right amount of spunk and attitude to make it fun.
