Aug 17, 2012 Maddi's Friesian Ranch summer party
Aug 09, 2012 Natalya and Minden
Just saying hi to two of our youngsters. There's no doubt Minden is a little stud colt!
Aug 04, 2012 I'm finally making time!!
We've been really busy this year....10 foals, new horses, breeding 15 mares (with 3 embryo transfers), new barn, new hay storage, starting to grow our own hay which includes prepping the ground...and, trying to get 4 mares into great shape for the keuring (judging) in September. Our 3 year old is in great shape, one Crown mare is in good shape, the 2nd one is in ok shape and the 3rd one needs ALOT more weight and work. She has a nursing foal on her side and she's pregnant; when she arrived here she was already about 100 lbs. underweight! Anyway, any Crown mares that don't make Model, will try again next year. We're adding a sled to our conditioning program, which will really help muscling their butt muscles. I'm not sure if we have enough time this year to really make a difference. But we're trying! Of course, our foals still get handled daily...it's alot of time, but it's worth it for us and our customers who get very well mannered horses. I did take some video the other day and will get it up soon. I am taking 3 days off to visit our Granddaughter. We're seeeing the horse show Cavalia...Everyone is very excited!
