Kjaer is back home after his overnight adventure! We were taking a couple of private lessons with a trick trainer. We worked on a variety of things (including getting our first bow under saddle!) and got some direction on where to go next. I have a winter project for sure!

The amount of timing, softness, and feel that goes into teaching tricks is something I really didn't appreciate when I first started playing around with it. The professionals sure make it look easy! I learned a ton and am excited to keep building on what we worked on.

Kjaer and I are off on an overnight trip to the western side of the state, just outside of Minneapolis.

I’m not sure what makes me want to cry more… the time change this weekend or the diesel prices I paid this morning.

This may be a horse page, but I hear it’s National Black Cat Day!

My black cat rules the barn and seems to have an infinite supply of lives. Somewhere around 10–13 years old, she’s still the queen of her domain and keeps everyone else in line.

Any other horse friends have black barn cats? Let’s see those barn kitties!

Kjaer and Lena earned a day off while Gertie and Ravne got in some groundwork and property walks. Gertie and I even ventured through the woods in almost total darkness. Good girl!

I can handle the coming cold to a point, but the time change next weekend and that 5 p.m. darkness just about does me in. Nothing zaps my motivation to get horses worked with quite like losing the daylight.

My senior quarter horse, Yankee, is looking the nicest he has in a long time heading into winter. He is already growing in a nice coat. It is nice to see this old guy looking so good this fall.

Of course, Yankee is the horse who requires the nutrition plan of a high-performance Thoroughbred just to maintain body condition… and he’s one of the pickiest eaters I’ve ever met. 😆

Fjord Fella rode sh***un as we took Kjaer and Lena to visit some neighbors who also have two Fjords.

As we pulled up, their Fjords were the first to come to the fence, curious to see what in the world our two horses were wearing and what contraption they were pulling. The non-Fjords, meanwhile, opted to stay close to the barn, looking a little less convinced they were not in danger.

I just love the curiosity of this breed!

Kjaer all ready for a drive earlier this afternoon!

Yesterday, he and I logged some trail riding miles with some friends. While there were a few moments when I wanted to send him straight to the sale barn for the tantrum he throws when he isn’t the lead horse 😆, it was also a good reminder of the work we still have to do. He’s beginner-safe on the trail when he gets to lead, but asking him to follow? Well, that’s a whole different situation!

A lead horse on a trail needs to be brave and confident, and Kjaer absolutely is. Yesterday, though, we encountered something that nearly shattered his composure: a snake 🐍

A snake decided to slither out of the leaves and right under Kjaer’s nose! It took a fair amount of convincing to get him moving forward again, but he ultimately did a good job keeping his cool. I know he was a bit concerned over the encounter, and I can’t exactly blame him for that surprise. I have yet to have a horse startled by a snake on the trail. It was a first for me too.

Barn cat Butterscotch is headed to the vet for a quick visit, and barn cat Cleo decided to take advantage of his unfortunate situation. Nothing like sitting on top of the carrier to taunt your buddy for being stuck in the dreaded carrier 😆

Miss Ravne isn’t friendly at all 😆. Taken a few days ago on a rainy night. She loves pets and attention!

A snippet from one of Ravne’s more recent sale video.

Load in the dark? (Husband safe to load in the dark!) No problem. Even without being closed in the slant (that spot belongs to Kjaer, and the couple of times she rode there for training, he seemed genuinely displaced 😂), she’ll stand quietly and wait. No funny business, no trying to back out.

She is still available!
