Goodness, I'd be so uncomfortable too! Poor mama. I sure hope that baby comes out soon and she has a smooth, simple delivery of a healthy, strong baby.

What a wonderful soul! Good boy Billy. He's looking fantastic, the boots are adorable. Thank you so much for doing this and sharing your experience! Jasmine and Phillippe go on Saturday for a visit 💗

Waoowwwweeeee!!! That's so beautiful! Congratulations on the move. I'm so excited for you. And look at your HAPPY ponies!! <3

My friend came to visit me after being away for nearly 15 years! She stayed with me for a week and we went all over the province. We started out with a ground-driving clinic, then drove our little beasties. It was her first time taking the lines and she had a hoot! Loved it! Then we went to...

Looks like she wasn't in a hurry on Wednesday. How did the weekend go?

My apologies for the late appearance! I was "vacationing" this last week. Took a friend I haven't seen for 15 years all over Alberta. We were in Jasper in the Rockies and up the tram one day, then driving ponies the next and we just finished a trip down to Drumhellar in the badlands. It was...

I've got both my littles sets of Cavello CLBs and I'm really happy with them. We use them for site visits to care centres and for driving on the gravel road. Phillippe especially bruises easily - poor little muffin.

If you're wanting to use dormosidan for clipping - as many people do, I wouldn't use it as a first option but rather a last resort. THOUSANDS of young horses learn to be body clipped with little to no issue. It's absolutely conceivable that yours will too. I start on the hind quarter or the...

I was "on vacation" for the last week. What a whirlwind! We drove Jasmine and Phillippe for an hour somewhere in the last week, but I can't remember which day!

That's fantastic! I've put a rope around the single tree of the board or tire I'm going to have them pull and then around my shoulders while I long line them so they hear the sound before it being attached to them. Once they're calm with that, I'll attach the traces to it. You're getting...

She did great! Met some more kids and had a blast. I was really proud to have her with me! Yes, the new owners of Saddle Up were just the most lovely ladies! They were enamored with Phillippe and didn't pass up the opportunity for pictures with him. He's such a good egg that I feel confident...

Oh! And the ADMC AGM was on Saturday while at the trade show. I'm seriously chuffed, my little donkey won the 2023 ADMC High Point Driving award! My very first belt buckle! I had to go out and buy a belt. And you know I found a yellow one! 😁

To go along with the hours logged, I'm so grateful to be home after a very full long weekend. Phillippe and Jasmine accompanied Ali and I to Red Deer for the 2024 Horse Expo Canada where we participated in demos and spent some time in the booth (Ali and I, not the littles) for both the Alberta...

Ok, let's see. Friday was 45 minutes of driving, plus 30 of ground driving Saturday was 45 minutes of driving plus 20 of ground driving Sunday was 1.5 hours of driving I'm going to write about this weekend in the other thread. We were at the big horse expo trade show and I'm so very proud of...

Snowing today. lol Cause it's Alberta... I'm not complaining, it's still moisture. We need it. Snow is fair game through May long weekend. It usually quits after that. This snow won't stay. I'm sure it will be melted in by tomorrow.

Lord what a darling little being! So sweet! Congratulations! Glad the freebie turned out to be a really nice one!

WOohooo! Baby, happy and healthy! Hope mama's recovering well too. Great job monitoring the milk. It's a fantastic indicator. Excited to see more pictures!

Last week was just swamped full of all sorts of things, I was hopping and didn't get to spend time with my animals until Sunday. Phillippe and I had a cones-driving lesson and it was awesome! I have an lovely, talented lady who is part body worker, part sorceress and she's just amazing. Her...

Always best to call a vet if you have serious concerns, but it's good that there's no blood and you're still seeing obvious foal movements. I'll keep my fingers crossed that everything goes really well and your mare has an easy delivery of a happy, healthy foal.

Oh mares...
