- One Proud Mama
I had 7 well behaved equines yesterday.Not your run of the mill "behaved", but extra-specially well behaved. That's not a statement that I can make on just any old day.No, most days at least one of the herd can be a little uncooperative. Yesterday...
- Pedi Day
With temps in the low 60's and no rain in sight,yesterday was the perfect day to finish my hoof trimming rounds. Last week Red and Ollie were groomed and trimmed. Yesterday... the Bigs had their turn. First Scarlet who patiently let me trim even the...
- Random Ramblings.....
We all know that Santa has a "Naughty" and "Nice" list.We all hope to be on the "Nice" list,but we all know those who we just know will make it to the "Naughty" list.Right? Well, it's the same around the farm. A few are definitely on the "Naughty"...
- A Day At The Spa
I treated the "Bigs" to a day at the spa, yesterday.The weather was balmy...in the low 30's. More snow is expected today and later this week, making yesterday the best day for a little routine maintenance. Moonbeam and Donnie were groomed, with...
- Together At Last!
I have been hesitant to put the "Bigs" and the "Littles"together in the same pasture to graze...fearing for the safety of my tiny horses. That is until the other day, when I took the Bigs to the upper pasture and heard the cries ofthe Littles as...

There's Nothing Like a Pedicure
I think everyone would agree...
there is nothing like a pedicure.
Our poor tired feet,
always walked upon,
stuffed into shoes,
abused!
Moonbeam would agree with that.
He has had shoes on his front feet all summer long.
Now that autumn has arrived and winter not far behind it,
it is time to remove his shoes.
Because our horses spend most of the time outdoors,
we remove shoes before winter to prevent slipping on the ice.
Meanwhile, the dogs wait patiently for the farrier to finish.
Almost done....
If they are very well behaved,
they get a special treat....
Yummy, yummy trimmings from Moonbeam's hooves
more tastier than rawhide and just as chewy!
Moonbeam, our Halflinger, is the only one of our horses who is shod.
He is the only one that can be ridden.
The littles and the ponies have natural hooves.
I keep them worn down with a rasp whenever I groom them.
Too bad, says the pups.
They wish they got these yummy hoof treats more often.
