Nothing smells better in the summertime than fresh cut Timothy hay, unless it’s bales of Alfalfa. Hay time always reminds me of growing up on the farm and riding on the back of the hay wagon, trying to hang on to those wobbling hay bales! Sometimes my dad would stack them so high he wouldn’t allow us to ride on top. Here in Bluegrass Country, we grow a lot of Alfalfa for its high protein and ease of digestion.

We say horses who are nervous or jumpy are “spooked”. Well, those horses are literally being bothered by “spooks” in one form or another and I’ve had great success getting rid of them. One horse was impossible to ride, another just difficult. One “spooked” at one spot in the pasture, while another showed extreme animosity toward his farrier. All these horses had something very real bothering them, and all are much, much better now that those things are gone.
Today the clouds were fluffy and the horses were gorgeous. I’m thankful to be able to enjoy such a day with some of the most beautiful animals on earth. But, what I really love is being able to do something that will keep those beautiful animals from hurting their owners or the farriers who work with them.

If you have a horse who is hard to manage, or a horse who has changed from being gentle to being dangerous, please call. My fees are very reasonable, and you don’t pay until the job is done and you are satisfied.

Apparently Duncan thinks I should have brought a gift.
A couple of Days ago, Dan and I went for a drive in the countryside. I wanted to introduce him to a special fellow I had met last fall. I always feel better after chatting a bit with Duncan.
This visit though, Duncan seemed a bit miffed. It was as though he was scolding me for being away so long…like I should have been out more often paying homage to his regal nature. I guess I can’t argue with that.
It reminded me though how fast spring is approaching! Flowers are starting to bloom! It’s time to start farm shopping…And, if you’re in the market for a small horse farm, I’ve got just the place. Call me and we’ll go out and tiptoe through the horses.
Is it Spring Yet?
The babies are here! Spring can’t be far. Lexington, KY’s horse farms are starting to sprout. This is the most exciting time of year around here. Every day someone new shows up, and someone takes his/her picture! This little guy will be fat and sassy soon!
