It seems like just yesterday that our foals were squealing for their mommies. The foal care course doesn’t seem such a long time ago, either. The 3 boys have really changed over the months. They have gotten quite the handsome boys and they all like to stay away from Mom for a while! Of course, our protective mare Selena exhausts herself by chasing after little Stumbles all day! Born in February, March, and April, Twitch, Kix, and Stumbles...

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...

Since Twitch is older now, about 5 weeks old, we practiced on the newest foal we have;...

The foal care courses are passing pretty quickly. It’s already the fourth week since the first lesson. The quarter horse foal, Twitch, has grown actively grown in the 9 days of his life. His coat isn’t such a glossy hue anymore, but is now a light brown color, and it feels like a pile of feathers. Poco is no longer there at his every neigh, and she doesn’t worry too much when he isn’t at her side. In fact, she savors the...
