Worms. Newest arrival was just dewormed yesterday and voila! I haven't seen such large round worms before!!! Methinks a second round of the paste before integration would be prudent. A gorgeous yearling shire colt that did NOT show any obvious symptoms. Goes to show...
Our first arrival from last year has proven herself a little too flirtatious just prior to her purchase and subsequent move to our place. She's due to POP within the month. Very exciting! Anyone out there want to buy a Paint/Percheron/Quarter Horse filly? I'm just sure it's a girl!
We have two new arrivals, the last to round off our herd, showing this coming weekend. Very excited about it! Not only do we have great horses rounding out our herd, but we have great people filling our ranks!

You know that dream you had as a horse-crazy youngster? Every square inch of green was pasture potential, every picket of white fence spurred a frantic search for a tail-swish contained within, every barrel on sticks a potential pardner? The horses movies were made of danced through your head every night you fell asleep... if only you could just have that solid buddy to race around the back yard with! You could stretch out on his back, reading a novel as he grazed in some picturesque meadow. You could just leap up on, bareback, at any whim and happily prance around, sans equipment, in total unison...
Well, okay... maybe we aren't there yet and maybe we will only reach our muted, twisted little version of it. But to have a horse you can trust so much is so freeing and uplifting! We still butt heads every other stride but we're sure happy doing it. I can lounge on him in almost any position as we socialise. He's always eager to play and try any thing. Nothing phases this solid boy and I'm so ecstatic I took the chance on him! He's been cleared for another year by the vet and bridling is 120% better. This summer, we tackle the last obstacle: our fear of vehicles, those trixy things!!
