Burning Ties

12/26/2025

Welp, festivities have wrapped up on to the new year!!

So thankful for all the gifts we (my family and it) received this year!

Super thankful on days like this to have mud boots, heated vest, socks and soon gloves! Compliments of my aunt Shannon and the vest and boots my mom got me! Glad I left the rain coat in the barn.

Poor Miss Bella will have to stay in today, I don't feel like being in the rain more than I want, not to mention the ice build up already now it's raining!!!

Time to shower and get coffee ready!

Enjoy today, drive safe, and may you be as warm as your equine friends.

Because when the roads look like this Kayne and Hero play like this.
P**p for his mom yesterday and an un clipped, up the rump blanket from them today, for me.
Flares blanket had a broken buckle, and Mr. Moldy Cheese must have laid down right before the freeze because his tail was froze to his leg straps. Pure ice under the snow, blowing winds, January must be around the corner. 🙄 🥶

Silly Bella. Fresh sawdust, she even laid down twice. She wasn't happy she had to wait for her hay, until after her appointment 😂

So happy to see this!

With heavy hearts, we share that Cash was humanely laid to rest this morning.

Following an in-depth evaluation at Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital, an unexpected, previously undetected injury was discovered. This old injury had led to serious complications that were increasingly impacting his comfort, quality of life, and overall wellbeing.

After careful consideration with our veterinary team, the compassionate decision was made to let him go peacefully.

Cash was deeply loved, and he will be profoundly missed. Thank you to everyone who has supported him and cared for him throughout his life. 🖤🐴

Please respect the privacy of Kathryn during this incredibly sad time.

For any questions or breedings for 2026 will be ICSI only. Any mare owners who have already signed contracts we will reach out to.

Around the barn this morning. Have one "sick" one so in-between waiting for medicine to kick in we have a hand warmer now 😂

As we head into breeding season, don't forget to check out this handsome guy. He is proving to be very versatile. His first foals will arrive in 2026. He is 7-panel clean. He is available for live cover only at this time, with fees starting at $550 plus mare care. He will stand at Appleridge Acres during the breeding season, located in Manistee MI.

😂 I got a new watch and it has horseback riding as an option for exercise. What is a rail? 😆 And if I was on the rail it was just for warm ups 😂🤣

My mom rode after my aunt and I did. Flare did such a good job.

Flare really is doing amazing! He is jogging so nice and really starting to understand slowing down.

I guess I better get him some mints.... And his brother too. 😂
