It’s time for a fun update about Jewels Moonlight Treasure (Trissy). She will be 3 months old on September 7, and a stubborn little thing she is! But she’s as sweet as she looks and is in love with her official new owner: Kristi. A girl and her horse. It’s all Kristi (age 13) wantsContinue reading “Horse & Filly Updates”

Foot Training with Trissy
Let’s start the week with Kristi keeping her filly in tip-top training shape. Even Taffy had to be held with a leadline while someone checked her feet and hooves. Not Trissy! She’s a little angel and stands perfectly still. I bet it will be easy as pie to teach her to ground tie someday. EnjoyContinue reading “Foot Training with Trissy”
Knightley & the Trailer
Kristel took Maggie to the vet to see how she’s doing (fertility-wise), and of course baby Knightley had to accompany her. Great! It’s always a great time for colt training, and one month old is a perfect time to start “trailer” training. Right? Of course right! Everything went well. Maggie is “ready to go” toContinue reading “Knightley & the Trailer”
Getting Ready for Another Foal
More Painted Acre Horses Posts > We can only hope. Since Jewels produces such fantastic fillies (2 out of 2), Kristel wants another one (hopefully she’ll start selling them and making some money LOL). Anyway, Poor Rubicon is in his barn. Do you know why? Because his face is so sunburnt! So PINK. Poor guy.Continue reading “Getting Ready for Another Foal”
Foal Fun Play Day & Baths
I hope you are not tiring of seeing Trissy and Knightley! Here are two videos. The first one is a fun foal “play” day out in the pasture. It’s only a minute long and you can see the babies play and having so much fun! The second video is also one minute. Kristel gave TrissyContinue reading “Foal Fun Play Day & Baths”
Yet Another Foal (and Mare) Video
Kristel created a 3.3 minute video accompanied by a praise song, and it’s just so fun to watch the mares and their babies run and look beautiful. I asked when both mares and both foals will be put together so the foals can play, and she said, “Next week.” I can’t wait to share videosContinue reading “Yet Another Foal (and Mare) Video”
Foal Update
Yes, it appears that all I do these days and give you foal updates, but it’s so fun when they are so little! Watch this 3-minute video to see Knightely (3 days old) and Trissy (2.5 weeks old). The vet came out the day after Knightley was born and pronounced him healthy, despite the factContinue reading “Foal Update”
The Colt’s Name
At last! Nearly 100 names (98) were submitted. Poor Kristel. Yikes! She had quite a time settling on the name for our silver buckskin colt. Click the video to hear Kristi announcing not only the colt’s name, but also his “barn” name (nickname). (If the video doesn’t work for you go to YouTube, where anyoneContinue reading “The Colt’s Name”
Maggie’s Colt Is Here!
Last night about 11 pm, June 24, 2025, Maggie delivered a stunning little colt. The mare is only about 14hh, so it was touch and go there for a while. Kristel had to assist to help him be born before poor Maggie (in her 20’s) gave up. The shoulders were stuck and Kristel thought theContinue reading “Maggie’s Colt Is Here!”
Name Maggie’s Colt & Filly Update
Remember that string test? According to that, Maggie’s foal is going to be a colt. So let’s have some colt names. As you noticed with Treasure, my daughter, Kristel, is committed to choosing a name for this new little one that one (or two) of you. So, read on and send in your suggestions. StartContinue reading “Name Maggie’s Colt & Filly Update”
