Sometimes life just surprises you. Sometimes it is good – and sometimes, well you just wish you could go back to bed. Three years ago we purchased this awesome belgian draft horse for our son Anthony. His name was Jack at the time but we changed his name to Thor immediately. He just never seemed.. [Read More]
My kids actually go trick or treating several times each year. We own a camper so we camp seasonally and the season includes two early October Trick or Treating weekends. By the time actual Halloween comes along it is pretty much a non-event. Since they trick or treat three times at least, it is pretty.. [Read More]
This is how I define weather: HHOOOTTTT – 95 degrees plus – far too hot to clean stalls, far too hot to ride a horse, far too hot for the horses. Change the water often because they aren’t huge fans of warm hay saturated tea… Hot – 80 degrees plus when my eyeballs sweat.. [Read More]

For me, that means adding an equine terrarium, a couple other decorative touches and a pair of silk fern plants… [Read More]
Sad to say but lately there have been some barn fires in our area. In one – all the horses in that barn perished from smoke inhalation and in the other – the barn was lost but the horses were spared. This is all so scary. Our horses are boarded and there are people who.. [Read More]
One of our absolute favorite things to do with our horses is trail ride. We have two thoroughbreds and two draft horses. They all have special characteristics that we know we need to watch for when riding. But ultimately we can only control our horse the best we can – we need to prepare for.. [Read More]

This winter is horrid – absolutely.. [Read More]
