What many people don’t know who do not live on a farm is that there are really 5 seasons of the year winter, spring, summer, fall and mud. We have reached mud season here fall has faded and winter has not yet set in leaving us with mud. The gates have mud surrounding them, the paths have mud on them and most of all the animals seem to be constantly muddy. Ace my horse especially seems to be able to…
I have so many pictures of Ace in my phone and I love them all. If anyone else looked through my photos they might wonder since they are all variations of the same photo. I have pictures of Ace eating grass, Ace in the crosswise, Ace’s pretty neck while riding, Ace all saddled up but by far my favorite photos are the big white blurry photos of his nose. Ace has always been a nosy horse and very much likes…
Today I was the first day since having my baby that I got to go down and do chores by myself. I have missed my animals terribly and was just as happy to see them as Ace was to see me. Ewestace and Purl were even happy to see me! Gus worked well for me tonight and didn’t even try to get away with anything naughty.
I am incredibly happy to have both the horses home on the farm with us. Ace is also incredibly happy supervising my chores. He follows me to the sheep pasture and watches while I do their chores, he watches me clean the stalls, fill buckets and pass out hay. I missed my horse horribly bad after we moved to the farm and he was still boarding an hour away, there was no need apparently to worry about our bond though….
I may look like an adult who is all grown up but in reality I might just be a little girl at heart whose dreams have come true. Growing up I asked for a horse again and again. At christmas I always joked when guessing what my presents were that it would be a pony. I dreamed of having a beautiful farm with a border collie and some sheep. Well I did get my farm, dog, sheep, and horses and…
This handsome man comes home in one more week!!
I went to see my most handsome horse today and tell him that it will only be 30 days from now until he comes home! I was so happy that when he saw me he came to me without me even calling him. He seemed very happy to see me and that I had not in fact died since he hadn’t seen me in so long. I spent some quality time brushing him (he spent some serious time getting muddy…
Decided to take a break from packing and moving stress for a wonderful trail ride on Ace this morning.
Since returning from vacation in florida we have been busy packing and preparing to move in less than 30 days. We have been anxiously awaiting moving day and it is defiantly fast approaching. There are still many decisions left to be made and plans still to firm up. We still need to find and buy a lawn mower as well as an actual tractor for the farm. All of the fencing will need to be installed right after we close…
I had a wonderful week off with my husband! We looked at properties, went fishing and just hung out together. I had my first lesson of the year with Ace this morning, for being off all winter we both did really nicely and worked well as a team. Ace even trotted over the tarp like it was no big deal at all. That horse never ceases to amaze me at the things he does. I am looking forward to quite…
