The Schomberg Farm Tour is Saturday March 14 from 10:00 to 3:00. Winsong Farm was on it for the first time last year and we’ve been invited to participate this year. We’re thrilled! Here’s the information about Winsong Farm on …
The great cattle drives existed for only about 20 years after the Civil War, and the start of the railways made the drives unnecessary for northern markets.
So, I hope all of you had a look at the video clip from the last blog. I’m pretty sure a lot of you out there may have looked at the video and thought ‘I don’t see any issue here,’ …
I’m betting the title of this week’s post pretty much gives away what I did during my ride, and how it went. And let me tell you, it went fabulously well. The temperature was a balmy minus 15 degrees Celsius, …
It is pretty common knowledge that too much starch in a horse’s diet can increase the risk of colic or laminitis, and may contribute to the development of insulin resistance. Many owners also blame sweet feeds or other high starch …
Horses and heartache. Saturday morning, brushing out Mops (who’s been shedding his winter coat ferociously for over two weeks now). He raised his head and looked straight towards the mountains and westwards, which is where this year’s gather of wildies …

Some said Arkle was so good because he drank Guinness beer two times daily, and thanks to the popularity of racing on TV, he was getting lots of attention.
Honestly, there isn’t a great deal to relay about this week’s ride. It was cold, but not too cold. Luc was good, but not spectacular, and I was content to mostly just hack around the arena. But I’m completely okay …
Kye celebrates his 25th birthday Sunday, February 15. Lately he’s been doing a great job painting. Big question…could I get it on film. Today’s weather was sunny with high winds and low temperatures. Kristy House came to help with the …
