September 29th, 2011

Fall is here! There's a crispness to the air, and the horses are starting to get a trace of fuzz to their coats. Although we won't miss the really hot days, it's a little disconcerting to think of the mud coming back so soon.

Last weekend, Hytyme and our lovely thoroughbred mare Spendy made an appearance at the Eagle Creek Farm and Feed customer appreciation day. Here are some pictures of our fun outing:

So, here's how the day went: in the morning, Jim and Kassi brought Spendy to the feed store. Spendy got to meet and greet visitors (as her counterparts in the next paddock had to give pony rides all day). Spendy was a little nervous in her pen, and she wasn't thrilled by all the activity. Although she did make some new friends, by the afternoon, Spendy had enough. So Jim loaded her back into the trailer and took her home. He returned with Gideon, who seemed happy enough to mingle with the crowds (and the chickens).


All in all, it was a great day at Eagle Creek Farm and Feed. We made some new friends (hi Wick and Sharon!), and had some delicious barbecue.

In other news, Alex has been working well with Peanut Butter Boy. Here are some pictures of their latest training session:

Good work, Alex and PBB!


And lastly, one of the arena sprinkler timers didn't go off the other night. We've got a small lake to contend with in the arena. However, Jim did get a cool picture of our lake:
