Tuesday of last week, the campers rode & helped scrub feed tubs. Then I managed to lock them all in an escape room stall and didn't let them out until they solved all the puzzles to reveal the final code! 🤣🤣🤣

I was so busy last week I didn't get around to posting about the camp! These pictures are from last Monday. After introductions & a barn tour, the kids were tasked with a team building exercise with the two ponies, Ethel & Lucy.
Next the kids were introduced to liberty work with the three ponies, Gwendolyn, Calvin, & Scout. This transitioned into leading at liberty.
Lastly, the kids met their camp horses for the week and worked on groundwork with them using some of the skills from the exercises earlier in the day.
It was a great first day!

On Sunday morning, I took my donkey, Gus, on a short walk to check on how close to being ripe the berry bushes were. It's been on my mind to take him on a walk, and today was perfect as my dog is still recovering from a sprain, and I had free time.
It was a slow meandering to our destination. Gus had an eye for snacking on clover patches as we traveled along. There was a gentle breeze waving the tall grass in the fields, a few butterflies and bees flittering between flowers, various birds chirping and soaring through the sky, and the warmth of sunshine on my skin. The slowness of our walk forced me to take it all in and appreciate being anchored into the steadfast energy of my donkey with no need to rush, to enjoy the journey, to simply be in each other's presence.
As I walked back down the hill to my house after putting Gus back with his herdmates, I was amazed how grounded and at peace I felt. It was not what I expected to feel after such a slow paced walk. What a beautiful lesson on being more fully present my donkey gave me! ❤️

We are on a lucky streak in northeast Ohio this summer! Someone was able to round up a family of round bales and deliver them to our farm for safe keeping. Thankfully, I had a trusty tractor to keep me safe in the handling of the protective papa round bale. Now the two little round bales can be buddies & play together! They will be rolling and somersaulting around in the fields in no time!

Barn Barbie learned a valuable lesson. Don't smack an ass on the ass! They remember everything. This donkey decided to get even by sitting on Barbie in the creek when she tried to push him across!

My donkey, Gus, has the tendency to kick my trimming tools out of my hand when I'm working on his hind feet. So, I decided to do an emotion code session to see if we could help alleviate his fear of having his back feet trimmed. The emotions of shock and rejection from when his mother rejected him at just a few days old were cleared. We also cleared an emotion of Panic from when one of his herd mates left the farm a few years ago.
So, a few days after this session, combined with giving him cbd oil for a few days, having someone hold him and distracting him with food, I attempted to trim him. And it went great! There was no attempt to kick the tools out of my hand!!! 😁

Barn Barbie demonstrates the importance of wearing a boot with a heel when riding. The heel reduces the chances of a rider's foot slipping through the stirrup and in the event of a fall, being dragged.
With so many options now with tall boots, paddock boots, and colorful cowboy boots, there is no reason not to be safe & stylish!

I've been contemplating some of Van Gogh's works lately, especially starry night. The people around him at the time did not value his artistic interpretations, but post mortem the world revers his artistic works, his visions. What if Van Gogh was someone who was tuned into "the field". What if what he painted was how he actually saw the world? The ether swirling and connecting all that is around it and beyond. That was what he saw, that was what he brought forth into artistic expression. Only he was surrounded by people who were not tuned in to this, and could see or fathom this form of reality? They dismissed him for it. And what if he was so tapped into the field that he had a strong inner voice guiding him to do what he did? But everyone else didn't believe it and called him crazy. So much so he believed it himself and chopped off his ear to try to silence his inner voice? History has told us to view him as disturbed, but what if he was attuned at a time few understood what that meant?
How often do you find yourself discrediting someone else because what they express grates against your version of reality? How can you be more respectful in discussing someone else's reality? It doesn't mean you have to believe that reality, but you do need to try to accept it as that person's version of their own reality. So often these individuals see, feel, interpret the world so differently than most and often end up leaving a lasting impact on the world. An impact that often is entirely unrecognized during the individual's lifetime, appreciated only when the rest of the world's awareness has caught up. What more could Van Gogh have created had he been supported rather than discouraged? The world will never know. But you have the ability to help shape another's reality with your actions and words. Will you choose to be an encourager or a discouager???
