What’s Happening

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 has...

We assume they sleep at night, because they do this ALL DAY.

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 kitten...

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 and...

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, we decided one of...

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 quickly! Done!

Horses of this quality sure aren’t available every day, and we are incredibly proud to present Kruise as an exceptional breeding or performance prospect!

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 we're sure glad...

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...

George continued to build on what he learned in the spring, and Enzo went to his very first clinic!

We brought home 3-month old Dillon from Capital Area Humane Society's Walk for the Animals "Puppy Palooza" event and he seems pretty okay with his new digs....

After two years out of the ring due to covid, we were excited to sign up for the American Haflinger Alliance’s Virtual Show as a way to safely get some “show time” in! We’d never done a virtual show before

Although we have absolutely LOVED our old Sundowner, as we've spent more time at dressage shows and less time at breed shows, we'd been thinking it'd be nice to have a bit more people and stuff space, and a bit less horse space. And while super reliable, at 30 years...

When it's 100 degrees outside and you're stuck on stall rest, you get some special treatment!

Just over a year since we brought home a beautiful yearling, we thought we should take some updated pictures to showcase how nicely she's maturing. While she's as quiet and sweet as ever, her gaits just keep getting bigger and bigger! No gawky two-year old here....

So, lessons with Tracy typically come to a stall over winter, and then this spring she was having surgery, and then it just got to a point where we hadn't really heard from her for a while. And then after our fabulous clinic with Katie Hiller, we were connected with...

When the road commission asked if they could leave some equipment back by the barns overnight, it seemed like the perfect opportunity for some desensitization. George wasn't bothered - he just wanted to drive!

When the American Haflinger Alliance offered a trick training challenge for the month of May, we decided Enzo should learn to bow. A couple of cookies later and he picked it right up!

With no lessons since November, we'd been thoroughly enjoying our Team Tate Academy memberships for learning and improving all winter. So as spring approached and we had the opportunity to clinic with Team Tate Trainer Katrina Hiller, we jumped at the chance. We...

from Enzo and everyone else at Sodar Farms!

#covidshopping 😀 Welcome Heidie HTE!

Darn kids, always stealing my phone and taking selfies.... 😉

Don't you just hate it when horses won't stand well for the farrier? 🤣

So does your horse share your Starbucks addiction?? 😂

Kruise wishes everyone a very Merry Christmas from Sodar Farms!
