Golden Spike Farm's Plog

The farm family celebrated Dalton’s mom’s 18th birthday with a surprise party.  It was a great night with a great group of “rescues.”  Yes not only does the farm rescue most of it’s animals it also rescues people and we all become family.

Let me count the ways:

1. Frozen water buckets
2. Tractor wont start
3. Doors frozen shut
4. So cold you loose feeling in fingers and toes

I had 5 yards of bedding delivered this week, usually I open both doors to the shavings shed and use the tractor to push it in.  This week I had to shovel it all it by hand. OH the joys of owning a horse farm.  I keep teling myself in moments like those that I am living the dream.

Last weekend – before the deep freeze – was a great weekend for a trail ride.  It is always fun getting new friends on horses, especially when they haven’t ridden since childhood.

The farm roof needed some repairs so we jammed to Splinter (a local band) while working today. Click here to see the video of a 360 view of the front of the farm.
