Just saying hi to two of our youngsters. There's no doubt Minden is a little stud colt!

We've been really busy this year....10 foals, new horses, breeding 15 mares (with 3 embryo transfers), new barn, new hay storage, starting to grow our own hay which includes prepping the ground...and, trying to get 4 mares into great shape for the keuring (judging) in September. Our 3 year old is in great shape, one Crown mare is in good shape, the 2nd one is in ok shape and the 3rd one needs ALOT more weight and work. She has a nursing foal on her side and she's pregnant; when she arrived here she was already about 100 lbs. underweight! Anyway, any Crown mares that don't make Model, will try again next year. We're adding a sled to our conditioning program, which will really help muscling their butt muscles. I'm not sure if we have enough time this year to really make a difference. But we're trying! Of course, our foals still get handled daily...it's alot of time, but it's worth it for us and our customers who get very well mannered horses. I did take some video the other day and will get it up soon. I am taking 3 days off to visit our Granddaughter. We're seeeing the horse show Cavalia...Everyone is very excited!

Our foals love to play with balls. They get very playful, sometimes rolling off of the ball, getting mad and kicking it ;-) I think it's a great exercise for them. They're curious and this desensitizes them on things moving around by them. Here's a link to a short video...my dog was trying to get in there...Kaleb couldn't decide if he wanted to play with the ball, play with the dog, or show the dog that he was, in fact, the alpha of the two of them!! Below is a link to a video taken about a month ago.
