Today as I was working on the beach… what’s that you say? Sitting on a bench looking out to sea can’t be work?… I decided that when I get home I am going to dig the 3 geldings I want to sell out of the herd and use them as models to post a series [...]

A skunk moved into the basement of our old house. We discovered this a couple of days before we had to leave for the coast. Nobody realized there was a wee hole under the deck that led directly into the basement. One of our daughters (Daina) lives in that house and she wasn’t particularly impressed [...]

Weaning the foals. Been going exceptionally well. Heck most of them seemed almost happy to be rid of the old girl and hanging around with us humans. And then there is Doug. He was a pretty friendly fellow all summer. A bit arrogant but his mama is boss and is more than willing to make [...]
