Ah, spring. When I renew my annual vendetta against the buttercups. When I can't enjoy walking through the pasture without scanning for the sight of a single yellow flower. The dandelion is my friend but the buttercup... my sworn enemy. The front pasture is almost buttercup free from years of diligent hunting, spraying, hand pulling.

For people who don't own horses and don't believe they have feelings... Gerry went off to camp today. Literally - he's gone to the NC mountains for the summer while Andi runs the equestrian camp. But there is no way to explain that to his buddies. They see him board the trailer and stand in quiet sadness. So looking forward to his return and their happiness in the fall!

You would think that they are starving...when they have 24/7 access to hay. The stall hay nets were a bonus because it was going to snow. And they couldn't even wait until it was flipped into the stall. What spoiled TBs.

Ah...isn't the farm beautiful in the snow by moonlight?
Wasn't the 2026 January Winter storm a horse boarding mess? Ground driven manure spreaders are totally useless on ice so stalls got really dicey. But the horses were happy, warm and safe. Lots of hay and alfalfa mash every night... they actually ALL gained weight. Hooray for the return of beautiful 50 degree days!

Another beautiful OTTB bay gelding joins the farm. Sir Terre finds a friend in our barn cat Grimaldi.

I'm just trying to mow this down to a nice tender 5 inches.... why do they always act like I am stealing the only grass left in fifty miles. I wonder if other farm owners have to stop and ask their horses to move....

De Vedras has never had a rough day in his life. Eight acres of grass waiting, but it's mid day and there are fans in the stall. This boy has never worried about food.

The 2025 Monsoon season continues. It has taken the last week to clean just two corners of the arena. 365 Roundup sounds perfect but it can't handle arena corners. It's hoe and pitchfork time.

We are located in Oak Ridge and are looking for bulk shavings. My usual contacts seem to have changed their numbers. Does anyone have recommendations for buying bulk shavings?

Beautiful pastures are work.
2025 .... $200 of w**d killer, $500 fertilizer and hours of tractor work. The overcast cool temps of Mother's Day were perfect for mowing the front pasture. Dragging is next! Obviously the horses approve.
