Hump Day Horse Photos

 

Hanging out with Ellie in the stall. It is very important to spend time in the stall with a new foal and totally ignor them while you are there.  So, I brought in a chair and a book and sat in the corner.  The more you ignor them the more they want [...]

Goliath Update

I’m happy to say that the big guy is back to 90% this week.   He looks sore and stiff still in his movement which leads me to believe my initial theory of him wearing himself ragged from a blanket adventure was correct.

He only has 2 more days left to wean him off the [...]

Do you know when your horse is in distress?

Today turned out to be rather eventful one on the farm.

6am: With the weather being cold and crappy I ended up turning out Fay and Goliath in their rain sheets last night. This morning when I went out to give them breakfast I noticed Goliath had made a mess of his sheet.  It [...]

Trail Tails: Derby Day

The most watched equine event is coming up this weekend, The Kentucky Derby.  Horse racing runs in my blood, literally.  Now retired, my Uncle Christopher Paasch was a trainer on the west coast.  Thought he’s not your typical household name if you like to watch the races I’m sure you have seen him before [...]

Trail Tails: Scours

Ellie turned 3 weeks old today and along with it came Scours.  If you have ever had a foal before you’ll know what I’m referring to.  I could smell the start of them coming on for 3 days, YUCK.  I hate this part of foaling but it is perfectly normal.

What are Scours: Foal [...]

Foal Training Diary – Week 2

Last year I was spoiled rotten with our foal. From birth Izzy was calm, cool headed and willing to tolerate pretty much anything. It took very little effort and patience on my part to get results. For example check out this video of a bandage change I was doing daily.

Our 2011 filly [...]
