Woo Hoo..the mounting block is here!

Stormy wasn't quite sure what to make of it but  the mounting block is a very welcome addition donated by Roxane's father, Larry. Next week we will give it a coat of paint.

Larry's grandson, Braden, was the first one to give it the test. 'A' okay.

The Next Step..

When the Bridge group came out this week, Tara (fertilefoundation.org) thought it would be natural for the Next Step to be that the 'carriage riders' would become the 'carriage drivers'. It worked and was enjoyed lots! Always good to have new challenges.

Here's Kim..

and David..

and Lisa.

Bear is happy to take his riders for a walk on the trail. David (mounted) Luisa, Joanie, Lisa, and Beth.

Then Beth gave it a try..all smiles!

The group decided that the goats needed to be checked out.

Mary is using a new cane and in charge of the carrots.

After lunch, little Stanley who is always around to socialize and look for food, had his head in someone's lunch bag. What a character!

Feels Like Summer...

..And just like summer, Melinda is home-but it's only spring break. She rode Vic's Rosie. Note how Rosie keeps her tongue out..

Then we took a field trip with Tara (Fertile Foundation) to Caramont so we could see the baby goats. Our La Mancha does are from Caramont.

Matti loved that little cream colored one.

So tiny and young...

Stanley was happy to be a nap buddy.

What's New at Fairhunt Farm..

Tierna isn't cantering yet, but she has no problem getting on her mom's big Rosie and having a trot in the ring and going out in the woods to enjoy the sights.

Having a drink.

Lovely time out on the trail.

We have 3 La Mancha does and  the girls love them!

They needed some help with those branches that were a bit high up, so Meredyth, Keelin, and Tierna obliged.

Welcome Rosie!

Tierna's next horse.

Happy Rosie.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stormy's busy day..

We had some visitors from 'Teens Give' and they had a new experience grooming a horse. Stormy was happy. He had hay and was being fussed over.

He liked the peppermints, too. The kids were surprised that horses liked peppermints.

Jake looked very handsome as he sat on Stormy. The mirror is fun.

And a last hop over the cross country jump was fun, too!
