The instructions for poor hubby when you leave out of town. 😅 it’s a lot of details keeping everyone alive and restful citizens.

I am out of town until next week with very limited access to messaging. I will respond to everyone as soon as possible the week of the 13th!

Third quarter horse class finished up with some riding last week, comparing different steering techniques. Fourth quarter horse class starts next week! I’m offering two classes: level 1 and level 2. Links below. Only a couple spots remain, I believe. Let me know if you have questions!

The weather has cooperated for the past two classes to ride outside! It’s been fun learning to lead the horse from the ground and steer the horse while riding. This class has a span of 6-9 year olds all having never ridden a horse independently. So much fun experiencing new challenges!

Lunchtime potty breaks for these pups on both ends of the age spectrum. Young and old bladders alike appreciate midday relief for our dogs with owners in healthcare. Helping one up off the floor thanks to her arthritis, dodging the tongues and excited paws of the two younger ones… we can’t wait for them to finish doing their business for snuggles and playtime inside.
Reach out if you want to get on my midday potty break rotation! :)

Them: “Wow! Your horses are super broke.”
Me: “Yes… their daily life exposes them to many desensitizing opportunities.”

45 seconds after this photo was taken, a chicken came flapping down towards Dusty’s face and the chicken tender 😅 jumped down with a flourish to make it as loud and dramatic as possible. 🤣

We’ve been having so much fun at our horse class! Horse safety, grooming, saddling, leading, and riding are some of the highlights from our first two classes.

Ms. Jess offers a special weekly class in 5 week sessions via her homeschool co-op. It’s offered in the evening, though, for families of all schooling to be able to participate! Another link will be posted soon for those whom would like to sign up.

The less than glamorous side of farm life in the winter.

Why yes, my hair is frozen into a knotted icicle mess. Perhaps it’s from the hose that half thawed, half froze, midway through chores between scrubbing and filling water troughs outside and heated water buckets inside, spraying me in the face and creating a skating rink in our aisle way within minutes of contact. Perhaps it was condensation from my labored breathing while chipping away frozen manure out of their stalls. It’s anyone’s guess, really.

Why is the board removed from our well pump box, you ask? Because we have have a slow leak underground from the extreme temps, causing a drop in pressure for our water tank. Which means we sometimes lose our prime and thus water, requiring us (my husband) to mutter many choice words while re-priming the pump so I can water the horses again.

Don’t mind me while I mutter the choice words I heard earlier from my husband while I thaw and detangle my hair for the second time today. 😅 🤣

Check on your farm friends. We’re not okay. 😂

MVP goes to this fantastic Yetty mug during these negative temperatures and heavy snowfalls. Icicles form on the outside but my coffee is still steaming hot on the inside for hours.

Honorable mention: my husband whom ordered two custom mugs as a Christmas gift in bright colors for me to easily find where I left my coffee and water. 😅 I can keep track of the kids and the animals, but my phone and my cups have unknown whereabouts oftentimes.

For those scheduling their 2026 camping trips and vacations, I’ve been booking quite a few farms and dog sittings for the upcoming months. I’m insured, knowledgable, compassionate, and professional. My regulars have found and stayed with me in large part because of my reliability. Check out my reviews and message me with any questions. Stay warm!
