LET IT SNOW !!!

Welcome to December

Zanientha for Sale

We are offering Zanientha for sale. She is coming four and has been free jumped, started under saddle, and hacked. "Zoe" is 16.2, very confident and is eager and shows good form over fences. She is ready to to go to work and with her pedigree we expect she should go on to jump at the highest levels.

First Snow

We had our first real snow and the foals were out for a run. The five of them have been weaned and are setteled with out the mares. We wean gradually with the foals being seperated from the mares to eat pellets for longer peroids of time. Finally they are seperated for the last time. There is two or three days of complaining but it is over soon. Weaning a group is much easier than a single foal as there is a group to keep each other company.

MAPLES AND HORSES

Fall Colours

It is fall and the trees are showing some color and the foals soon will be weaned but in the meantime there is lots of time for "horse play"

Its Fall

Its fall and the mist rises from the pasture at sunrise !

Mares and Foals

The five mares and the five foals now all go out to pasture together. The foals range in age from six months to six weeks.
