What’s Happening
Take a Bow!
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!
Signs of Spring
A Clinic with Katie Hiller
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...
Happy Easter!
from Enzo and everyone else at Sodar Farms!
Oops, we did it again!
#covidshopping 😀 Welcome Heidie HTE!
Springtime…
and the livin’ is easy….
Selfie Sunday
Darn kids, always stealing my phone and taking selfies.... 😉
Standing Still
Don't you just hate it when horses won't stand well for the farrier? 🤣
Say good morning to everybody!
Snow Day!
Starbucks Love
So does your horse share your Starbucks addiction?? 😂
Merry Kruisemas!
Kruise wishes everyone a very Merry Christmas from Sodar Farms!
It’s a Sign!
Thanks to Signs On The Spot for the AMAZING new sign!
Kruising Around…
Sigh….it’s just SO frustrating when you’re the only one who wants to play!
Making Hay
Our first hay cutting is officially in the books! The weather could not have been more cooperative, and we had a lovely five day stretch of cool, breezy, sunshine (rather unheard of in June). We have some fabulous neighbors that cut and baled the field for the...
The Big Announcement
We’re thrilled to welcome Kruise Morning Star WENFH, yearling filly sired by Alert RWF and out of Kruise Control MMS (M.T. Marvellon ROA x Karolina GF). She’s an incredible mover, but also very calm and friendly, and we’re super excited about her future!
Covid Shopping
Like many others, we've done our fair share of shopping while staying safe at home during this pandemic. The saddle pad collection is spectacular. But this weekend, in our first venture out into the world in months, we may have taken our covid-shopping to new...
It’s DONE!
Six months to the day after breaking ground, the final product is ready!
Spreading Sand!
We’ve got footing!
All About That Bass, ‘Bout That Bass
Base. I meant base. 😛 We’re all spread out, laser graded and ready for final smoothing. And then….footing delivery!
Train’s A-Comin’!
The gravel train that is! Trip after trip after trip, bringing in LOTS of road base. We’re getting close now!
Staying Home
This spring certainly hasn't gone the way we had planned out when we sat down with our show calendars in January! We've had a few cancellations that stung a little despite knowing it was for the best. Equine Affaire was certainly a disappointment. And one by one we've...
PPE Practices
Since the horses refuse to follow social distancing guidelines, Enzo shows George the proper way to don a mask....
Arena Update
Although we’re now on hold until some shelter at home restrictions are lifted, SO much progress has been made on the outdoor arena since Chris broke ground in January!
Enzo: Social Distancing Challenged
Enzo is....NOT very good at social distancing 😂 Hoping everybody stays safe while we're all sheltering at home!
Exciting Start to the New Year
2020 is off to a very exciting start! ACTC Services LLC arrived bright and early to start work on the new outdoor arena, and after six long (yet quick!) months, Enzo came home from his dressage boot camp with Tracy Rowe. Lots of exciting things to look forward to in...
Kick Walls!
Although most things at the new farm just needed some maintenance or cleaning to be ready to go, one of the few "projects" we knew had to happen sooner rather than later was the installation of some kickwalls in the arena. Even so, initially we were busy with the...
Long Time No See….Lauren Sprieser Clinic!
We always enjoyed riding in clinics with Lauren previously, but ever since Sandy stopped bringing her in a few years ago, we haven't been able to! Then early in the spring we saw Lauren post on her own page about some fall dates in Michigan, so we had to reach out to...
Enzo Update!
While we were busy packing and moving and packing and moving, and the rest of the horses were enjoying some summer vacation, Enzo was busy at boot camp! Although he was supposed to start his training much earlier in the spring, a surprise tooth extraction delayed...
The Big Reveal
After ten fabulous years at our little farm in Munith, we're pleased to announce our relocation to and new farm in Dimondale! While we enjoyed every bit of the property that first allowed us to bring our horses home, as our goals expanded through the years, so did our...
