Oh my gosh Mindy! What a horrible, scary week! Colic itself is scary enough, but to have it as a vaccine reaction is terrifying. I can only imagine how terrible that was for you. Even reading about it got my heart pounding. I’m so glad that it looks like little Z-man is going to be ok. As for...

What an ADORABLE little filly!!! :D:D:D

I can’t believe that I forgot to post this, but Rosie got her first ground driving lesson on April 18 for 15 minutes. With her crooked hind legs I don’t intend to actually drive her, but I think ground driving would be good for her mind. 15 minutes ground driving Little Joe on the 5th. He is...

Maryanne, I’m in central PA ;) We have a nice view from our house too, but the views from out at the boarding barn are especially beautiful!

Thank you all for the kind words! Little Henry is doing great and giving his momma a run for her money! He’s very, very feisty and likes to kick at his mom then run away. Poor Eve the panicked momma has to chase Mr Independent down! A few new photos...

After much anticipation on the part of everyone who boards out at the barn, Eve finally had her little mule! The kids are calling him Henry. The little guy was greatly enjoying his first day of life yesterday and he’s already giving his momma a run for her money. I had an incident about a month...

Hmmm...I love the stock breeds like Quarter Horses and Paints. I have some experience with Thoroughbreds too and love their spirit. It would be hard to choose! If it came down to the wire I’d probably take a stocky, old fashioned Quarter Horse. Of course I have a soft spot for anything...

Hi Carri! Aw, your little guy is precious!! I know where you’re coming from with him being shy...my little Rosie is a bit skittish as well, but it makes those moments when they choose to be closer to you even more special ;) I’m so sorry you lost your other two is such terrible ways...I wouldn’t...

Wow! What a crew! I love it! The picture of the tortoise trying to get in the house is precious!! Welcome to the forum!! :D

Hi Pitter Patter! I’m very new to this clipping stuff myself. I have one older mare (turning 17 in a few days but you would swear she’s in her 30’s...premature aging due to a host of medical problems) who doesn’t grow a sleek summer coat anymore. For some reason she gets a particularly fluffy...

Oh Marsha that’s hilarious! I love it! Of course, right after I clipped Rosie we got an unexpected cold front :eek: 30 degrees Fahrenheit with snow. Thankfully I have little miss bundled up in her pretty purple blanket. She must feel so much better without all the fur though because she’s been...

As little Miss Muffet Sat on her tuffet Her winter fur tried to stay But momma said no That it had to go She would clip it all away But something went wrong The clippers weren’t strong It turns out they weren’t very tough The process went on For very very long And Miss Muffet had enough So...

25 minutes ground driving for Coady on 4/6 and 25 minutes ground driving for him today :)

What a lovely write up! I’ve had Coady body balanced and he moves so much better afterwards. He wasn’t a huge fan of the process but he did very well. (My riding horse was another story...let’s just say he’s...unique. Sweet boy but very strange lol!) Very interesting about that muscle causing...

Wow, Willow Flats, I don’t know if I’ve seen a picture of Annie before! She’s gorgeous! Love her blaze! Marsha, love DD with his snazzy fresh hairdo! Lovely picture! So Coady and I have spent all of 2020 rebuilding our relationship after the accident last year. I couldn’t help him relax in...

Oh my goodness...I’m so sorry. This year has been a rough one for foals so far, and to lose your mare too is heartbreaking. Congratulations on your new granddaughter though! I’m sure she’ll put a smile on your face during these rough times :) sending love, hugs and prayers from PA.

Coady is back! Ground drove my little man for 25 minutes yesterday. All things considered, he was great! I’ll write something longer on ‘Your Drive Day’. :D:D:D

Finally getting some pictures of Eve posted! She had her first hitched drive yesterday and she was a little champ! The vet will be coming out soon to find out if she’s pregnant or is she just has a particularly chubby hay belly!

5 minutes ground driving and 15 minutes driving hitched for Eve today! Such a brave girl for her first drive :D

Thanks everyone for all the driving stories, pictures and videos! They’ve kept me going during my driving-less time. Here’s some overdue updates on my mini crew: My precious Coady is officially retired from driving...the breastcollar irritates his collapsing trachea if we’re not on a flat...
