Our quarter horse foals Twitch, Kix, and Stumbles are now all 4 months old and older. Time for them to be weaned. The first foals of our ranch are turning into fine little boys. So away from there mothers they went, into the neighboring pasture, along with the small yearling Bambi and Kitty, another foal we bought recently. They’ll be there for a couple months, till they are ready to mingle with their old friends again and once their...

Starlight is because of the dots of white she she has...

I know that silly names are chosen for our foals, but they just match the horse. Stumbles was born at around 1:00 A.M. He was still partly in his sac when we found him, and this time, even...

Well, Season 2 of the Foal Course has passed quickly. Yesterday and today were the last sessions of this class. This time the season wasn’t as long because there were less people and because there’s only so much you can teach a foal. Soon we are starting the horse fellowship program. It’s going to have everything to do with horses and riding and other fun stuff. So anyway, today we did more of the basic things. First, all the...
