Well another riding season has started and it's alot busier at the farm! We started last Monday with our Olympic riders. We have switched a few horses too. We "trade" our older, retired horses with friends with younger horses whose owners want them to be used. Saturday we got Blossom back. She is a small pony mule that we use in our children's day camp. The kids absolutley adore her( as does everybody else!) and she brings laughter to all every time she brays!
As I said, we've switched out some horses so Spicey (the 40 year old) and our rescue, Trooper has gone to a friends' place in Harpswell for the summer. I tell the children they're on vacation by the ocean! Troop wasn't sure he wanted to get on the trailer but once in Harpswell, he settled in quite nicely. He's still gaining weight and he's looking great. Ol' Spicey's been there 3 summers now and she loves it.
Of course I've been riding Annie quite regularly. We went on the trails Monday afternoon and the trails are all trashed from all the storms we had over the winter. So basically, I found another chore! As if there isn't enough to do!!
I'll close for now, but keep checking back, I write about more adventures as the season progresses and I'll post photos too.
Thanx for reading
