My big girl never ceases to amaze me with her many talents. Today I asked her to take a few pictures of Rev and I with him under saddle. It was his first day being ridden outside of the round pen. He did so awesome. He did everything I asked of him and I couldn't be more proud. Libby...

I have been trying to convince my husband to spring for a smaller saddle for our daughter forever. He keeps saying that if we buy her a smaller saddle she'll "shoot up" and then we will be sorry. However, she is SWIMMING in this saddle, isn't she???? She is a very small little 8 year old and...

Sorry about the double post, I don't know what went wrong there!

I've been working with our young Rev (our new 2 year old) in the round pen doing ground work and the other day when my husband was home for the weekend I even worked up the nerve to throw my leg over and be led around. He was awesome, Rev that is. So last night when he was saddled up (which he...

I took this video yesterday of our two tiny ones playing together for the first time:

We're looking to get tshirts made to advertise our farm. We don't breed, what we do is buy(find) ponies, typically POA's but sometimes others, that need work or training. We work with them and then some of the time we rehome them. More often than not they stay here and I end up giving lessons...

Ever since we first got back into horses years ago, I dreamed of the day that my daughters and I could head out together. Today that dream came true. I have been putting off taking Sophie (4) on a trail ride because I figured that she would get bored halfway through and there I would be with a...

I am having a total brain freeze here, but then it was a long time ago. This was one of my favorite movies as a kid. It was about some kids that found some kind of time warp creating thing at a military facility. They bring it back to their high school and it creates all these different...

I've got to decide on photos for our county fair which is coming up in 2 weeks. I've narrowed my selections down and this photo is top runner for the category "Animal - black and white". The problem is that a photographer friend of mine suggested that I move the subject from front and center...

I set out to take pictures of the new baby, but became intranced with Momma instead. She's so gorgeous. I can't stop snapping. I'm so glad this is her last baby and she can enjoy another role in her life from here on her out. Pampered pet! A Mother's Love

What age does a POA have to be to apply for permanent papers? I was thinking 5, but for some reason I have 7 in my head too. I've searched all over their website and can't find the age anywhere.

I've been away and busy for a few months, but found my way back to L'il Beginnings. Can't stay away. Thought I'd share Little Triton as a yearling. Here he is after his bath. He is STILL shedding out. We clipped some long hairs in April and then had a terrible cold snap through May and he...

I know that genetics is way more than half the battle. However, we recently acquired a POA with little mane and tail and I am guessing that with a little help we would get a bit of a tail at least. What is your favorite product with biotin in it? What is the best "bang for your buck"? Would...

Does anyone know how I would find a contact for Dakota saddlery? I recently bought a used Dakota saddle and it is missing a concho. The tack shop said they would put a new one on free of charge if I could find a replacement? But I tried googling and all I come up with are dealers.

We're looking at buying my daughter her first POA pony. She has had a shetland, then a welsh type (probably more hackney than welsh) and we're looking for something a little bigger. Anyway, I don't know anything about POA bloodlines. Can anyone give me some names that you might look for in a...

I know that this is happening because I haven't been sleeping and I have been stressing (about lots of things, Champ Show just being one of them). But how do I stave off a full blown sickness. We will be getting very little sleep starting Thursday night and I need to have my wits about me for...

It all started this spring when I said I wanted a little pygmy goat for the farm. Imagine my surprise when the husband said, “No”. He did not say, “I’d rather you didn’t” or “let’s talk about it” or even “I don’t like goats”. He said, “No”. Perhaps it was my inner teenager rebelling against...

Sorry so many, but these two have just decided all of a sudden to become friendly so it is easy to take lots of shots! The little man: And the sweetheart filly: Hey, come back and pet me little girl!

Our area has been hit very hard the last few days. I know Winona, MN got hit really bad and we were part of some of the relief effort in Rushford yesterday. Shannon's brother is a fireman here in town and he called to let us know that Rushford was under water and that if we knew anyone down...

On Friday I attended the local sales barn for their livestock auction in hopes of finding a small goat, pygmy or Nigerian dwarf. All varieties of animals came through, including a few goats, but I did not bid. I simply sat on my number. My 7 year old and I were just getting up to go get lunch...
