Kjaer being the little tug boat that he is, enjoying a swim with the clinician. Yes, horses can swim, and Kjaer absolutely loves it. I think he'd stay in the water all day if he could.

Kjaer had a full second day at our clinic with arena work and swimming. The arena was fine, but the water was clearly the highlight. He absolutely LOVES being in water.

Kjaer traded spots with Gertie. It is his/our turn to get some education in this weekend!

Oh man... I hardly have words for how well Gertie has done these first two days of boot camp. She had her first ride today and rode off like a seasoned pro.

Unfortunately, I forgot to put the trailer keys in the right vehicle and ended up locked out of my trailer, with my boots and helmet inside. Otherwise, I would have climbed on too!
Tomorrow. 😆

So far, this mare continues to impress me.❤️

Gertie is getting all settled in for her three-day training boot camp. I'm excited to see what she learns over the next few days!

She hasn't been off the farm very many times, but all things considered, she trailered great, confidently walked into the new barn, and settled into her stall without much fuss. She’s off to a good start!

As I start her training, it will help give me insight as to what her mind/trainability is really like. I hope she will make a wonderful broodmare for us, but first I need to know if I like her mind enough to make more of her 😆.

I must be at work this beautiful weekend to fund their extravagant lifestyle. Here's a little clip from our drive last weekend. With the mosquitoes beginning to emerge, I think our days of driving through the woods are becoming limited until fall.

I think Kjaer felt riding in the round pen was a bit too much like kindergarten all over again.

I started him in a baby shank bit as we begin working on neck reining and getting him a little more finished western. He’s turning into a bit of a jack of all trades, master of none — at least until I figure out what he truly enjoys most. Either way, he’ll always be the kind of horse I can pull out to do just about any job. He did get to go for a stroll down the road when we were done. Hopefully that made up for the kindergarten treatment.

We are experiencing some inclement weather conditions. In case anyone was curious about the hardiness of the Fjord (especially when there is food involved) vs. some other breeds… here is some visual evidence. The Fjords are completely unbothered while my Quarter Horse takes immediate cover 😆.

Snuck in one more drive before this morning before the heat rolls in this afternoon. Now it’s time for me to become an indoor cat and retreat to my cool basement until evening chores. I truly do not enjoy hot weather at all. 😅

Every spring I wonder what kind of body condition my old man will have hiding underneath that winter fur. It’s a question a lot of senior horse owners start asking… how many more winters?

Despite his food aversions, he came through this one still looking pretty darn good. He may be fully retired now, but this horse was my childhood horse and later became a safe, accomplished lesson horse — even with his often grumpy demeanor. He taught so many people how to ride.

He’s also the only horse on this farm that could never have a price tag attached to him.
