Fitting Into Fall!!

September 27, 2019

Things are going full steam ahead for winter! I feel like a squirrel collecting all my food for winter LOL
We are done showing, done breeding, and now get to do all the hard work. Babies are being fussed with daily and so are their mums. Getting the mares ready for winter. I evaluate all of the girls body condition and what they need or don't need as far as nutrition and pasture in a certain field according to that. Babies are getting feet trimmed, some second trimming, learning tying, and patience. Something mum and baby can do together. We have 4 foals weaned and the others will be weaned when they are 4 months.
Our French family has grown a lot, Abby is gonna have her first litter this winter. So much going on LOL
We have 6 new mares coming from England, one, Lady Jane, who I bought 3 years ago!!! So I waited till she was old enough to breed and shipping her home! I would have brought her years ago, but other horses kept taking priority and Bonnie didn't mind having her around.
We are getting Savvie and Holly going under saddle lightly this winter, and hopefully getting Holly in the show ring if that girl would let her mane grow out LOL
Oreo did fantastic his first official year under saddle and is gonna nail it next year. Legacy I am training 3 days a week and early next year step it up to 4 times a week to get ready for showing under saddle. Caspian is gonna be one of my main show boys for next year!! So it should be a great show year! I have three breed shows on the books and will be showing dressage with Oreo mostly. I may see if Caspian is ready for a training test, we shall see...
We have some fantastic boys available, Dubs is gonna be BIG! Cody is getting gelded, and will be available on payments for one year. Squishy is gonna be a stunning mini Gypsy colt or even better gelding! Bagheera, we are growing out. I really love him mum, she is one of my forever keepers, so I want to hold onto him till I have a filly out of her:)
I gota head to the feed store! Cheers

Off to fall!

Winter is coming...

On ward 2024!

February 16, 2024

Wow, how is it even possible to be this far along in life already! So so much has happened at KC! This year should be a breeze, we are only expecting 9 foals, it is gonna be nice to have them spread out and have more time to work with them. We plan on retiring Harry at the end of this year. He will be 18 this year, he has more than proved himself. Harry will become my riding gelding. I am EXCITED! Oreo will join the gelding club in 2025 as his son takes over for him. Mega is pretty darn amazing. [...]

Happy New Year!

2022 foal season is a wrap!

November 7, 2022

Wow! I truly can not believe 2022 foaling season is a wrap! Now we button down the hatches for winter and get ready to welcome our first 2023 foal the end of February. We welcomed 15 healthy foals this year. I feel incredibly blessed that all mums and babies have flourished and doing incredibly well. I have retained quite a few to grow out. I have decided to part with a few I was keeping because 11 was way to many to hoard. I added a handsome buckskin colt to my program along with a buckski [...]

Bring on foaling season 2022...

February 19, 2022

Wow, I can’t believe how time flies! I remember setting my website up and thinking I was going to get this blogging done every week LOL Well, I had no idea how much work would go into all of this. The marketing, sales, photos, washing, etc… There is a lot of effort. One thing I hope is that buyers appreciate the efforts someone goes through to get them all the info they request. At the end of the day, if they don’t want to buy what said person is selling, PLEASE have the [...]

Wow, time flies!!

July 28, 2020

I can't believe how fast summer has flown by and foaling season is almost a wrap! We were incredibly blessed with 9 fillies and one colt thus far! Legacy had his first crop with 4 foals this year. Two fillies and a colt thus far. Minnie is left to foal and she is up in Canada. Minnie will be put back in foal to SD Empire and then come home. Though we lost one foal due to birthing complications, we are blessed all are healthy and absolutely stunning. I don't think there is one I could really [...]

Our newest Girl!

October 21, 2019

Happy FALL!! We have been uber busy around PMG & the PMF family is growing rapidly LOL We just got back from our elk hunt in Idaho and are batting down the hatches for winter. We have got new gravel in the runs, in front of all entry points in the pastures, two new noble shelters in our two big pastures, five our our ponies leave in two weeks to their new homes and starting to design our new kennel! Our girls will live in our house, but when puppies are here, we need a clean [...]

First show of the season!!

May 20, 2019

It is Monday, the show hangover is what I call it LOLFirst show went well for Oreo, Prince, & Red. The judge, well, let's just say you pay for someones opinion when u enter that show ring, and unfortunately, you are at their mercy. So, if they don't know the structure and conformation for this breed, they just, well, pick more sporty types, or like color, or pick stallions with really poor behavior. So, I don't ever put merit on a show recored in breed shows. If [...]

Welcome foaling season 2019!!

May 20, 2019

Wow, it is hard to believe that foals are here! We could not be more pleased than we are with our three we have thus far. Pride was the first to foal a BAY filly by SD Gold Digger, we had bred her to Oreo, but Digger was an incredible jumper we found out and caught her just at the rite time LOL We are keeping this filly to run on for mum and hopefully retire her soon. Fab foaled a knockout colt!! I am tickled pink with him!! He is by Oreo and every bit as nice as him!! [...]

Foaling season is almost upon us!

March 8, 2019

I really can't wait for this year's foaling season! The first year Oreo is with us and seeing his foals from last year has me on pins and needles. Next year we are adding new lines into our program by using a few outside top quality boys to our outstanding girls! We have four girls coming from across the pond this summer! It will be a big year for us next year! Last week Oreo, Red, and I attended the Washington State Horse Expo and preformed with the drill group the Gypsy Chix! B [...]
