It’s been a while since we posted. Angel (aka Jellybean) didn’t end up staying with us. She had too much anxiety and couldn’t handle being away from Devil, so we are back to our 6 gelding herd. Of course, we finally got a bunch of snow in Feb. We went from nothing to about 16″…
Yesterday, we introduced Angel. Upon reading the blog about her, one of my Facebook friends recognized her as a foal that she bred and sold as a weanling. It turns out Angel is a registered Shetland born in 2008 named Isherwood Magical Enchantress. She was sold with 2 other ponies, one of who she continued…
Angel (formerly known as Jelly Bean) is the newest addition to the farm. She is an 8yo, 12.3hh pinto pony. While we were not really in the market for another mount in that size range, this was a little too perfect to pass up. You see, all of Angel’s measurements are within 2cm of Devil’s,…
Sometimes, there is that moment, like when Vicki walked into the kitchen tonight after getting ready, when Rob shakes his head and wishes his little girl would stay little. (edit by Anna).
We got a little snow on Thursday night and then a good dump yesterday. After a late breakfast this morning, we had a solid 9+” of fresh powdery snow on the farm. After the driveway was cleared and the horses were fed, we hitched up Huey to his Kingston Saddlery sleigh to cut some paths…
Last night we got 3″ of snow. The kids were excited to switch the wheels on our Kingston Saddlery cart to the sleigh runners. Unfortunately, the snow switched to rain and it is warming up tonight, so the snow won’t be around for long. However, we did get the chance to do a little…
A few months ago, Dakota left to become an occasional trail pony. While not every horse that comes to our farm is a lifetime horse (or pony), it was clear in the weeks and months after Dakota left, that both Anna and Alex really missed him and I had rushed the decision to move him…
For those who don’t know, Huey is our 16yo Dartmoor who’s registered name is Hedgehog Hollow’s American Eagle. While he has been a good riding pony for Amanda, and still goes on trail rides, Amanda is preferring to ride Devil in the arena. Huey needs a job and so we have been slowly working on…
This weekend, Vicki was finally able to have her birthday party (almost 2 weeks after her birthday. She had a couple of friends join her for a trip to The Drunken Palette in New London where they painted a horse picture (I assisted Amanda a little bit). After, we returned home for a sleepover. The…
Alex has not yet gotten to do an endurance ride and Vicki wants to try a 50 this year. We have told them both, it requires lots of time on the trails for the horse and rider. Yesterday, it was in the 60s and gorgeous. Unfortunately, I spent the day trimming hooves (for others) and…
