It’s weaning season! 🐴 Yesterday Rose and Axel were officially weaned and both have adjusted quickly. In a few days Brick will join his weanling buddies.

Doesn’t Roxy (the middle black pony) look fabulous! ❤️ We owned her for a few years before she found her forever home at HOPE Ranch. She just turned 20 last week, happy belated birthday Roxy! 🥳🎂🎉

Breakfast time at H.O.P.E. Ranch!

Three hungry faces lined up at the fence, patiently (sort of) waiting for their food. No snoozing the alarm around here — these three know exactly what time it is.

If only humans could get this excited about breakfast every single morning.

Who's ready for the day like these three are ready for hay?

A few weeks ago we received this fun photo of Cyclone’s first foal, Firefly Mist, giving pony rides at a picnic. Isn’t he a handsome fellow!! 😍

Firefly was born in Texas in 2011 and has spent most of his life in Washington state. He lives with his half sister, Daisy (Cyclone x Thistle’s 2023 buckskin pinto filly).

Firefly is one of two Cyclone foals I have never met but hopefully someday I’ll pay him and Daisy a visit if I ever get around to taking a trip out West!

A big thanks to his owner for letting me share this picture! 📸
