It was a good feeling to play like a child and follow their imaginations. A play date to remember. Until […]

• the purpose of horses manes

  If you don’t have long hair yourself you can always play with a horses’ mane. But, what is the purpose of their manes and a tail? I researched some general information and this is what is said about the mane and tail of a horse: I never braid my horse’s mane or tail. If I […]

• it’s time to revive

  Summer time is great. Spring is hopeful. Winter is a force to reckon with. Fall. Autumn . This is so exciting to be soon entering into that season. I know that spring is a time of renewal but I enjoy the clean up chores around the yard and thinking about pulling on a cozy sweater […]

• buried in positivity

  Positivity in a nasty way is what my husband and I are in. Recovering from a few days of COVID and hoping to test negative for it soon. Was out for a walk today and these horses were busy with their heads down chewing on the grass. …..life…..adapting…..health…..

  I would like to say I did alot of horse riding this summer, but not so, only because of the vast amount of mosquitoes we had in June and July. August has got us out riding a bit more. Time is spent putting bug repellent on the horses firstly, and they will tolerate the smell […]

• open the gate

  Opening and closing pasture gates has never been a simple thing. It seems each gate has a different method to open and close. This gate closure is a tight clamp and it takes a bit of force to squeeze it down.
