Moving fence lines and merging horses.

Today was nice and sunny, we decided a good day for merging 3 mares to our group of 10 mares and foals.
First we took down the hot wire, and Aktepel and Shirin wasted no time joining the herd, but Ahlie thought it was going to hurt...even if you can't see the wire...don't go there!
I had to walk with her and show her it's ok....
and then she had the courage to go!

My childhood friend and her mom came to visit from Holland! We have known each other since we were 12 years old.
I took some days off, and we had a wonderful time together, including, of course, a ride on our Tekes!
Here is Pluis's mom, she is an accomplished dressage rider...
and was impressed how well behaved our horses are, and sure footed...
Life out in the field beats being stationary in a stall...

2nd Annual Friday Harbor Farm Parade!

10/6/2012

0 Comments

 
This is our first year of participating. We had no idea how the horses would react to the goats, turkeys, chickens all squawking as if going to slaughter....low and behold....it was the OTHER horses showing up that spooked them!
The horses did great! Followed the tractors down the road without bilking an eye, didn't mind the sidewalk crowds,
it was a really fun small town thing to do! Here is the fall parade website http://www.fridayharbornow.com/fallfarmparade.htm

I like my bath...

Pan Tau likes to bathe...in his little water trough! First he splashes like mad...gets himself as wet as the little trough allows  then rolls in the oh so fine dust...
The result...a really dirty water trough....and a stallion...looking like...well...dirt!!!

Padisha is four years old this year, and we are training her to be ridden.
She wears the saddle like a pro!
For a walk we went, and traffic is just interesting to her.
Back at the barn we have loads of apples for the horses right now.
Life is good!

Gullie will be leaving next Tuesday! We will miss her!!!!
She will have a great new home, and in the mean time, we enjoy her as much as we can.
From being a broodmare to being a green been only backed by us this spring, she is now helping the next one being trained.
Today Marina, 13 years old, had fun riding her.

We are expanding!!!!

We have been working on this all year...and finally...we see the fruit....
First Jenny and I became full partners and made SWF A-T an LLC.
Then we both rallied and came up with a down payment, and the impossible became possible...after many ups and downs.
We have not closed yet...but we are in escrow!
Our farm plan has been approved to keep the property in Agriculture, hence we know we are soon to be proud owners of some soil called Semiahmoo Muck.
Sad news, we were too late to purchase the barn and riding arena we jused to lease, the 9 acres got sold and will be turned into a house and the arena into a hobby shop.
The good news...we will have 76 acres of grass land plus minus some forest.
