Tanoka sleeps with a full belly

I have been uppin the hay rations for the pony, and she seems to appreciate it. She's much more relaxed after a nice feed...

I set up the tripod for this shot, and she didnt even budge!

One Happy Kid

The lessons continue for both the horse, and the kid, and they are both enjoying
the process...
Kenzie was trotting on the lunge line today..
and the horse was enjoying our first time braiding of her mane and tail.

More Fair Lady.... ASCOT

The wardrobe ladies for our show did such an outstanding job.
Last night we posed another stitch, just for them.

Toppin

I still got it in me. Don't tell my director what I been up to, but it sure felt good to spend a nice long day in the trees yesterday.
These trees where blockin the wonderful view to the water, and the south. After 40 years of ownership, it was time to get the OLD VIEW BACK!

First Arena

Today we took the horse to the fairgrounds arena.
Worked with it a bit
and had one of the local young girls get up on her.
She had a great lesson....
and McKenzie enjoyed her debut amongst the other
"Island Riders"
Looks like many many horse hauls to town int he days
weeks, and years to come!

Our show is going to be a huge success...I am sure of it!

Break a leg all 55 members included!

chicken butcherin...

Kenzie grabbed the camera
and took a chicken butcher movie

Tail Day

We washed, shampooed, conditioned, and cut the pony's tail today...
Up and out of the way. Trainer said, steppin on your tail, aint a good thing....
Kenzie stayed at home to catch up on rest, and home chores today, and is enjoying "horesechores". She also wants to see a chickens head get chopped off!

HACK

Butcher Day

Well, 8 of 18 remain, tomorrow, its their turn...
We chilled 8 birds in an hour and a half today, after
8 weeks of portable poultrey work!
Its seems hardly worth the effort, but the freezer will
be full, and we have 25 more chicks comin at the end of this
month!

Grandkids

All day, we have had a couple of grandkids around...
Makes it easy to just relax, and do nothin..
This is Paloma, she is nearly three!
