The beautiful weather allowed me to finish clearing the full length of the track today! Trees are cleared so the extension of the track is 12' W by ~750 L. Our two horses have a hay station further out, but I think it will take some time before they are more comfortable further out on the track.
So pleased to make some great progress today!

We said goodbye to our darling girl Cheyenne, last Friday. We gave her our best with the short time we had her.
She was having a very hard time moving comfortably in the cold, despite pain control and having episodes of her zoning out & seeming confused, so we suspect her PPID was caused by a brain tumor. No more pain for you baby girl, run free!

Picked up some straw this morning for the herd to snooze in. Dusty came to say hello before I take a picture of him napping in it.
Making the best of the cold, snowless weather.

Tansy is back home with her owner, Kelley. She provided a very thoughtful review of Tansy's care over the summer:

"I boarded my older, metabolic Morgan mare with Tracy over the summer and into fall at their track-based farm. She came in overweight and on a very specialized and time-consuming feeding program to try and manage her Equine Metabolic Disorder, yet Tracy welcomed her in with no concerns about giving her the complicated care to keep the mare’s EMD in check.

After almost 6 months in the hands of Tracy and with living the track system life, my mare has lost the excess weight, and no longer requires the specialized hay regimen of soaking, weighing, and monitoring. She is enjoying a much more normal life than she had before, all thanks to her healthy sojourn on the track and under the thoughtful care of Tracy. I loved all the updates, pictures, and videos, as well as the regular, timely communication on her care. She was always willing to step in and give help with the vet and farrier, a huge help I so appreciated. Highly recommend boarding at her place!"

Thank you for your kind words Kelley, and entrusting me with Tansy's care! 💓

I measured horses for winter blankets this past weekend. My TB/Welsh Lady, is down a a blanket size since being on the track!
She was always too large for 72", but 74" were always so big, and now a 72" fits her perfectly!

Equine well-being focused care in Rush City (30 minutes from Forest Lake). Currently 3 great horses in our herd, we'd love to have your horse join us!
We promote movement, freedom of choices, forage, and friends with our track system.

Excellent information on the 3F's and the biggest reason I started HHTB: for the improvement of EMS/Laminitis/Overweight/Easy-Keepers/Stereotype Behaviors! No dry-lots, more movement, forage and browsing availability, herd environment. 💜

Around the world, there's a growing demand for a shift in the equine industry towards prioritising the health and well-being of domestic horses, a movement that has reached a pivotal moment. Stakeholders within the industry, including horse owners, professionals, regulators and the public, are recog...

Hyerlapse of the 350' track!

I'll update some new pictures soon, but I made the decision to shorten the track!
There are only 2 horses here currently and I noticed more camping out and they weren't utilizing the full track.
I created a shorter track, maybe 300-500'? And the two mares here are moving SO much more and seem much more relaxed! Width is 12', wider at corners.
As more horses come, the length will return to the original layout of 1200'.

Our pond permit was granted! Planning stages with a contractor can finally begin to improve grade and begin surfacing the track! 🥳
