Yard Yak clip #2 this year. As usual, he was only kind of clean, and after 2 ponies, my head, and 5 sheep my clippers were pretty dull.

Still, he LIKES getting clipped so we got it (mostly) done over 3 sessions.

Oh, did I mention he was totally loose in the paddock the entire time? Including for his face.

Every morning I open the front door and do a quick “is everything ok” scan. Today Pepper the pig was chilling with Spirit. Pepper does NOT belong in the horse pen. (He’s fine with them but he can push through some of the fence).

Morning plans adjusted. Pig returned to captivity. All is well. Only 15 minutes late for chemo 😆

Emily has informed me she’s “starting her own breeding program” so far she’s bred an American Fuzzy Lop to a Netherland Dwarf 🤦‍♀️ and a broken Amber Rex to a broken sable Rex… so if anyone needs any fluffy pets or cool looking, unshowable Rex, let me know 🤣

The mares are delicate flowers who require LOTS of fly “stuff” (especially Boom who welts and gets puffy runny eyes).

Spirit on the other hand, is a sturdy fellow who doesn’t even realize there ARE flies. He wears a mask because it makes me feel better. 🤣

We had a WONDERFUL day in Quebec at one of our favorite shows! There was a great turnout for their first Youth Show!

Emily tried out showmanship for the first time and got 4th, and then won BOTH Honorable Mention with her Netherland Dwarf Kaymar’s Little Ton “Fluffy” and Reserve in Show with her Silver Fox TBF Peter Pan.

TBF Queen took Best of Breed Silver Fox in all 3 shows.

We also welcomed Blue Holicer buck “Loafie” to the farm 🥰

Oh Beauty….

How she managed a big laceration on her left hind pastern/heel is a mystery, but one look at it and I knew it was a “gonna need sedation” injury. Lucky I caught Max the Vet at the office (a whopping 1.5 miles away) and he was here in a jiffy.

Beauty is no cheap drunk! She had the amount of sedation they give to lay horses down to castrate and she still VERY MUCH had OPINIONS about getting stitched up. Bandage changes should be “interesting”

Did you k ow horses have the right of way in Vermont? That means, essentially, you treat them like a vehicle with flashing lights. SLOW DOWN. MOVE OVER.
