Here are some photos. Winter can be beautiful! The first one shows it snowing on the farm. The second one has Socs and Picasso in the snow. The third is the sculpture Bill commissioned Ann Clifford (who owns Socs and …
Today is a bit on the “cool” side so I didn’t saddle up any of the horses. I worked with four of them this morning. I started with nineteen-year-old Kye at liberty. He walked, trotted and cantered around me, changed …
Usually when I drop bales of hay down from the loft and through the trap door one of them will get somewhere near Zelador’s stall. Today was no exception. One of the bales was being eaten by Zelador. You know …

Brenda Marino was our MC for the Get-Together. She put hundreds of hours into all the details that create a successful gathering of people and horses. I asked her if there were any way I could repay her. She smiled. …
