New Adventures!!

New Adventures!!

What a busy few last weeks! I made a trip up to my home town Alaska, Ketchikan! What a wonderful time. I really needed it as I have been a bit home sick and need my Alaska fix LOL. I have decided to take two Gypsies up to Ketchikan the summer of 2018! I am gonna try and work all our foals due before or after July so we can go and no worries.
I flew home Monday afternoon and then hit the road Tuesday early for Vancouver BC to take Ellie to her new home. I could not be more pleased with her new digs and Ellie's new mom is a special lady who will love Ellie for the rest of her life! I had no intentions of selling Ellie, but with moving our breeding program forward and having a fab non breeding home for her, I couldn't say no! Ellie is going to be a stunning example of the breed and in her new digs she will have more attention than she knows what to do with.
Now to find Hiccup a wonderful home. I truly love that little man. He is not phased by anything and is more than happy to rest his head in your arms and call it a day:) He is sale pending, waiting for contract back. If his sale falls through, I may be a sign.
We have acquired another 38 acres for our horses and looking forward to having them on quality pasture year round! I am very picky about letting our horses be horses. I do stall some in the winter, but they get tuned out everyday for at least 8 house. 6 of our 9 stalls have runs. This year we will only be stalling 4 of our horses and all the rest will live outside 24/7! I haven't decided who will be on my winter fitness list, but so far Teddy, Carson(Jacks AQH), Dixie.
Master Plan is going to start driving training 11/1/2016!! I am so excited:)
Our new mare, The Lager Mare, is a driving machine & is being put in-foal to SD The Don! This no doubt will be a keeper if it is a filly, if it is a colt, it possibly will be up for sale!
When Janey Down first sent me pictures she KNEW I couldn't ask Jack if we could get another Gypsy! I didn't even ask any questions, I just forwarded them to Jack and he wrote back, when are we getting her:)! Oh, I was tickled pink!! I fell in love with Lager over photos, but after seeing her in person, I couldn't even believe she was ours! She takes our breath away and I would keep walking out to the pasture she was in at the farm and just stare at her! Lager will be coming over this winter after she has settled in foal.

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 [...]

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 LOLWe 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, l [...]

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 [...]
