We are looking for someone to feed on Monday mornings, as our current person is moving away! 10 horses on the property; 5 stalled and 5 field boarded. Feeds take about 25 minutes to a half hour, great for a little extra cash. Must have horse experience (though our horses are extremely well-behaved)!

We are located in Lovettsville, VA.

Please text 703-554-7851 for more information.

Looks like Clifford lost today... although Waldo is missing quite a few chunks of hair! (Sidenote: the white is Desitin to protect the cuts after I cleaned and put Neosporin on them) #playhard #Clifford #CliffordtheBigRedHorse #hotmessexpress

Swelling completely gone and healthy granulation tissue is forming. Looking great, bud! #waldotheappaloosa

Sweet miss Josie loves her hay bag! Josie has trouble chewing hay, so she gets soaked hay pellets with her senior feed and hay in a bag with tiny holes, so she can only get a little bit at a time.
We love senior horses! They have a special place in our heart. Each requires different care, tailored to them and their needs. That's what we do best. 💜

This is what we have been dealing with for the past couple of days. Wally got cellulitis and a small abscess from a tiny cut on his face! He is already looking so much better. The abscess opened up this morning and it has drained some, which I'm sure feels much better. Thanks again to @totalequinevets Dr. Coppleman for taking care if my favorite old man. 💕

Some Other Before and Afters

10/30/2019

Angled and lighting are different, but you get the idea. No more roof leaks, nice fresh paint job, and she's looking like a whole new barn! (Almost)

10/30/2019

A late post, but finally, an after pic! New roof, entirely repainted. 💕

Last day of Mac Week. Who has enjoyed learning about this tall, dark and handsome man? 😎

His likes: Brenda and Nicki's snacks! Loves belly scratches and above-eye scratches.
Dislikes: fly spray (unless it is his "cologne" spray- Marigold).

Mac loves the salt rocks that hang in the stalls. Dallas is his best buddy and herd leader. Mac does not take to dogs - mainly Josie (Barb's dog), but that may just be a result of jealousy!

Mac loves everyone at Muddy Boot Farm. He likes to take his lips and kiss you or hold your jacket or rope or anything he can play with.
Did you know:
Traditionally, the Irish Sport Horse (ISH) is produced by breeding Irish Draught and thoroughbred bloodlines together. Originally, they were bred as hunters and working animals, but now excel in many disciplines.

#mac #macanata #irishsporthorse #fact #horse #horsefarm #boardingfarm #spotlight

10/21/2019

This week, we are spotlighting Mac!
Mac's registered name is Macanata. He is a 23 year old. 16.2 hh Irish Sport Horse gelding owned by Barb.
Barb says she thinks Mac is more of a puppy dog than a horse, but that's what his previous owner told her. 💜

Last day of Margie Week!

Did you know: Mustangs are descendants of Spanish, or Iberian, horses that were brought to the Americas by Spanish explorers in the 16th century. The name was derived from the Spanish word mustengo, which means "ownerless beast" or "stray horse."

10/17/2019

Margie is sassy and opinionated and is the "boss mare" in her field in spite of her age (she is the eldest of the 3 girls)! She is very food motivated and always demands to be fed first.
Margie can be very sweet and smart, but will try to "put one over on you" if she thinks you're not paying attention! 😉
This girl hates flies more than any horse I have ever mer... and they all hate flies! She will refuse to come out of her shed during the day over the summer and wears a full set of fly gear (sheet, mask, and boots) all summer long.
#Margie #mustang #muddybootfarm #spotlight #boardingfarm #seniorhorse #sassy

Natalie and Margie used to do drill team together. An equestrian drill team is a group of horses and riders performing choreographed movements to music. It requires precision, constant awareness of your surroundings, and a close relationship between horse and rider.

Margie was adopted from a woman who rescued her from a feedlot in eastern Washington state. Natalie adopted Margie right after she lost her previous horse, an Arabian gelding.

For this weekend's spotlight, we are highlighting Margie!

Margie is a 15.2 hh Mustang mare owned by Natalie (pictured). She is about 28 years old. While she does not have a registered name, her mom calls her "Moo". 😊

Did you know: historically, Fjords were used by Vikings as war horses, and then as farm horses in the mountainous regions if Norway for hundreds of years!

(Hollywood says that sounds like far too much work for his taste 😉)

10/10/2019

Hollywood has a funny habit of sucking on his tongue after he gets a treat to "savor" the sugary flavor for as long as he can! #hollywoodthefjord #hollywood #muddybootfarm #boardingfarm #horse #horsefarm #spotlight

10/09/2019

Hollywood was re-named by his rescuers for his thick, flowing mane. Many Fjords have their manes buzzed short enough that they stand straight up.

10/08/2019

Hollywood was a foster-to-adopt from the Equine Rescue League. In his early days, he was a school horse. When the riding school went under, he and many other horses became neglected, riddled with parasites, and very underweight. When Hollywood arrived at rescue, the skin on his hind end was sagging like a pair of oversized pants. The skin had been stretched when he was heavier and retained its stretched-out shape when he became thin. #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #rescuehorse #adoptdontshop #fjord #norwegienfjord #hollywood #muddybootfarm #boardingfarm #horse #horses #horsefarm

10/07/2019

This week, our spotlight turns to Hollywood!

Hollywood has lived at MBF for about a year now. He is a Norwegian Fjord and his registered name is Espen. He is 23 years old, about 14 hands, and is owned by Brenda.

Evening snackages ;)

Our Mille Fleur D'Uccle Booted Bantam hen, Butterfly, is hatching her babies today! She is so sneaky about finding places to hide and hatch. We will have to rehome them, as we have a lot of chickens as it is. They sure are cute!

Mac doesn't really understand Slip By's idea of fun... 😂😂

Sooner enjoying a forehead scratch... check out the lip wiggle!

I was talking to Toby about his dinner and he found me... Wise old blind man!

Muddy Boot Farm Mini-Tour! Check it out!

After sexing our duckling, it seems that "Hubert" is actually female! We need your name suggestions! Seems that out duckling has a minor injury to her beak-- we're thinking she may have gotten it caught on something overnight.

For those who don't know, Hubert is my little club-footed duckling. He was brought back to work after they realized he had a deformity. He doesn't see the problem! Happy, healthy, cutie pie!
