Got to shoe 3 horses the other day. Here is just a couple photos. Worked closely with my farrier to make sure I did everything right. It's been a good apprenticeship.

New friend joining the farm. Jasper, a 6/7 year old, thoroughbred. He came from the farm that my husband and I actually got married on.

Unfortunately, the couple is getting a divorce and liquidating the farm. I loved both of these people deeply and honored they trust me with this horse they just recently got from a rescue. He was with an older horse that I think tended to hog most the food because he was chunky. We will get some good clean weight on this guy and get him trained up good.

Welcome Jasper to the farm!

Went up to the mountains for the first time this year. Took Booner and wow did he kick butt!!! Took all the mud, running water, up hill and down hill like a champ!!! Love this guy. He is still sus about dogs but honestly can't blame the guy some people don't know trail rules with dogs and just think it's OK to have their dog come bouldering over to the horses.

Look how much white is in this guy's face now!! This photo is 4/09/2024 and the below photo is 12/02/2023

Appaloosa horses are so fun to watch change through the seasons!

Husbando took the best squirl photo I have ever seen.

I'm just admiring Eponas giant hind foot.

Went and watched the Charoit Races yesterday. It was so windy but it was a good time. Some speedy ponies. It does seem fun to just lead the charoits/horses to the gate wanna know how you get that job.

Rocky wants to tell you something!

Zoooooom!!!!!!! It's 30°f out and cold wind but who cares there is sun!!!

Epona update. She gets to live in the back area to stay out of the mud. She 'helps' with chores.

Booner lunging me.

Let them in the back to get out of the mud and boy was it a Rollin party!!

Epona getting her toes done. She loves farrier day!

I got to help shape the shoes we custom made for her and prep the leather pads.

Sigh... less fun part about the farm when the water spigot freezes.

Donkey glam photo!

Started an apprenticeship with my farrier. I will be following him around all of 2024 and also start farrier school in the fall of 2024. Got to learn with this spicey spotted donkey and a sweet old horse named Hank. Thank you, Hank, for being so patient with me as I learned. And thankful to my farrier for taking me under his wing. I'm exhausted!

Took Booner to the rail trail the first time ever! He was very brave and even led the way!
