We’re excited to announce that last week’s arrival was none other than Flamboyance of Genesis, a lovely mare sired by the Gold Classified Alfa of Genesis, and out of the Gold Classified performance horse, Faith by Fire...
Since we moved here in 2019, redoing the footing in the indoor had been on the list of things to do. It was worn out and very unstable underfoot. But the outdoor was the first priority, and then a number of other projects, and so this got pushed back on the priority...
George was a bit confused about why he was getting all spiffed up and braided….at home. But with such outstanding results from the 2022 AHA International Haflinger Celebration Virtual Show, we had to schedule a photo shoot with all of his big ribbons! Congrats...
When the day for the photo shoot with the giant ribbons is also the windiest day of the year, you’re very grateful for a quiet three-year-old! We did finally manage one good one! Congrats to Heidie HTE – 1st Place – 3 & ↓ Mares, Champion Mare, and...
After a late start to the show season and only two shows done, Amy and George didn’t want to be done already! So, with plenty of encouragement, they signed up for the open show at Regionals. Despite the craziness that is Regionals, GIANT classes, and tough...
Amy and George headed back to Waterloo this weekend to gain some more experience in the ring, and also to excitedly show with Katie’s group for the first time (since they weren’t at the last show). Great fun was had all around, with some shenanigans in the...
After three long years, Amy Robinson Hanney finally made it back into the show ring with George! Despite having only a handful of shows under his belt, he forgot nothing and seemed to be as happy to be back at Waterloo as we...
Last summer, the field mice decided to use our arena rails as a habitrail, which brought the coyotes uncomfortably close by fall. So we decided it was time for an arena upgrade. After what feels like forever, it’s finally delivery...
Following last fall’s EPM and this winter’s ulcers, we were off to a slow start with Enzo this spring. But as he settled into a routine and eased his way back into work, we couldn’t help but want a bit more a jump start after so much lost time! So,...
Against all odds, Jimmy continues to thrive. He’s been vet checked as stunted, but completely healthy. He’s not so sure what the big things are, but they have soft warm noses that he kind of likes. And although we were worried about the size difference,...
Tony settled in great and seemed perfectly content to use us as both his playmates and his pillow. But we thought he should probably have a kitten friend anyhow. Because he was so little, we didn’t want to just head to the shelter and adopt an 8 or 10 week old...
On this first day of summer, we’re taking a quick look back at our work this spring! Anna is making a slow comeback after a ligament injury last year, Enzo is making a slow comeback after dealing with ulcers following EPM, and George just continues to improve...
At the Bill McMullin clinic last week, we were each handed a 5-week feral kitten and told, “here, they need socializing, so hold for a while.” And so completely against our will, we spent the morning snuggling tiny kittens. This week at Amy’s lesson,...
March 21 Amy did some Valentine’s Day shopping, and they’re finally here! March 28 A week later, we finally got up the courage to move them into the arena and open up a box…. April 3 And after a bit of plotting and planning, they went up rather...
This month’s challenge from the American Haflinger Alliance, strong and stretching, plays right into the work with do with our horses and ourselves every day. However, the challenge definitely prompted us to actually get some PICTURES of the work, and...
Always game to try (and learn) new things, we took the boys to a groundwork clinic last weekend! Although most of the clinic was focused on foot control, body positioning, and the beginnings of some liberty work, we also got to play on a few obstacles, and Enzo added...
