Aiden Update
We picked up Aiden today in anticipation of him going to training tomorrow, and Nadia’s return (if you hadn’t heard, she is already pending adoption). Here’s a picture of him hanging out in our pasture. He’s still only about 14h, but stocky and absolutely a…
Corona Update April 23 2011
Quick update for your Easter weekend…this beautiful day I took Corona out and cleaned him up. Finally, he is growing in a much healthier-looking summer coat where he had been bald in patches. He is still clinging on to some of the more stubborn long wiry winter coat…

Charmeon Update — April 17
Charmeon is coming along well in her training and is much better about steering. She starts out very forward but runs out of steam quickly as she’s not very fit, but she remains very level-headed, sweet, and easy to work with. She’s a powerful mover and a fun ride! I…
Nadia & Aiden Update — April 17
Next weekend, Nadia will be returning from training. She has been doing really well, and finally learning how to be a proper arena horse and not just having two speeds (“dead run” and “whoa”). She is learning how to give to the bit and has not had any issues with…
Bucky B Lucky update — April 17
We had an emergency call with Dr. Hannah last week when Corona managed to crib a board so much that it broke, and then somehow Lucky managed to gouge himself on the pointed end of the board. He’s fine, but wasn’t too happy about it being touched for a few days to be…
Annie & Zan — April 17
Annie and Zanadu were stars this weekend! Annie had a potential adopter come and ride her on Saturday as did Zanadu, who was ridden in a lesson with our trainer. Both rode the horses really well and would make really great matches for them. They both plan to come back…

Rehab plan for Karma

Foster Update: Finn
We have found a fantastic foster home for Finn. He is alone for the moment but has an entire herd of horses across the street to keep him company until his foster person finds a horse of her own. Finn’s hooves seem to be feeling better on the soft hogsfuel footing at…
Foster Update — Rocky
Many thanks to Rocky’s foster family for continuing to take such fantastic care of Rocky. Here is their latest update: Rocky continues to do well. Dr. Colton “peeked” at him for me to make sure his weight was okay. He said it looked pretty good for his breed and his…
