Why Rising Trot Is Not Rising At All.
I have a couple of horseback riding lesson students who could benefit from this.

This weekend we put Izzy out with the geldings for the first time. She was a big flirt and they all enjoyed running around with her.

On Friday a large lesion was found on Casey’s neck. It is a true mystery as to how it got there. It showed up with and was this bad in about 24 hours. Today is day 4 and I am pleased to say that thanks to the vet’s aggressive treatment he is getting better. We still have a little bit to go and he is on stall rest till it heals completely. I have to give him 4 large shots in the muscle everyday. I feel so bad giving them to him but he is a great patient!

With the warmer weather and longer days I am excited to see last year’s students returning for lessons. She did a great job getting back in the saddle and remembered everything. It’s like riding a bike I said. After the lesson she and her mom went to say hi to the horses. Nashy my lover boy really enjoyed the hugs and kisses.

A few friends and old colleagues came to visit the farm on Sunday. Their kids loved it. We started out visiting the goats and donkeys.
Then moved on to say hi to the chickens.
Then out to the barn to meet the horses. Casey was so patient while I showed the kids how to brush him and clean out his hooves.
Then for the pony rides. Dads were there for stability and balance. I simply lead Casey around. You should have seen the smiles on their faces
Even Roxy (my friends dog) got into the going around in circles. We almost tripped over her a few times. As you can see Casey didn’t care at all.
The great day ended with sitting on the tractor.

Yesterday was a great day at the farm with all sorts of activities. Starting with Izzy arriving, then a trail ride followed by beginner lessons.
Two sisters and their first lesson while there was some expected nervousness they were also naturals! I have a feeling they loved the lesson as much as I loved giving it. I am so looking forward to the spring and summer and many more lessons this season.
My day ended with a bonfire with friends over looking the donkeys in their new home with the goats.

How do you keep warm in the winter?
We moved 132 bales of hay from the truck to the hay loft yesterday. Luckily this crazy weather held out for the delivery and unloading. Thanks as always to the farm family for your help.

Used the farm truck again today. This time we got 40 bales of hay.
Update on the fencing: it has been such a wet and rainy month that the posts have not set. So we got 1/4 of the fence up and had to put a temporary fence across the field for now. A big thanks to all my friends for coming out to help with fence party part 2.
Lastly, at the end of the evening I took time to give a little love to Reds (aka Barron).
