All the rain has the pastures looking so LUSH 😍 Baby Cyrus is 2months old now and LOVES spending his mornings on the tractor and visiting the horses. Cleaning stalls not so much 😅

Rain or shine, I know I can count on Happy Hooves Maaaaanicures to get the job done!

Our herd of 20 had ALL their tootsies done in less than 2hrs 😳 Would take me DAYS plus some added back stress to boot 😅 Thanks for being so awesome y'all!

One last adjustment before this weekend's horse show!

With show prep and our girls heading Back-to-School this week, I'm a bit behind in answering messages. I'll be getting back to Pony Preschool inquiries NEXT week! Then I will post open availability for New Students.

All Private Lessons (ages 6 and up) will be referred to Sabrina Calil (aka Forte Farms FL) for the foreseeable future as my availability is fully booked for returning students ❤️

Beautiful, breezy, and COOL after storm ride ❤️

A warm, wet, and windy afternoon in the wake of Hurricane Debby.

All are well and accounted for! We didn't have much prep to do as our area was out of the "Cone of Uncertainty". I was up all night with baby boy listening and monitoring the storm. For us, with the exception of some wind gusts, the rains were not much worse than a typical Summer day. Just some soggy critters, temporary puddles, and bits of tree debris all around that the goats will enjoy.

Praying for our West Coast friends who are feeling the full impact of the storm surge!
