Yes, that’s right. Shasta is only a couple of months old, but Jewels was successfully bred last month. She is 21 days along, and Kristel got home from the vet very happy at the ultrasound. But she’s super tired (Kristel, not Jewels). Here is a video showing us how she feels right about now, afterContinue reading “Jewels is Having Another Foal!”

Shasta Meets His Family
Shasta is almost two months old, and it’s time to meet the rest of his family and have a little playtime with the yearlings. He’s seen them, of course, on the other side of the paddock and just out of reach. He SO wants to run and play with others closer to his age. MamaContinue reading “Shasta Meets His Family”
Shasta – Two Weeks Old
It’s been rather busy last few weeks. But things are settling down now and I have time to post this video of Shasta in Training. He’s just a little over two weeks and he’s leading. A friendly fellow, and so eager to please. And my goodness! Take a look at his tail! It’s wagging soContinue reading “Shasta – Two Weeks Old”
Trissy Won an Award!
I got a fun announcement from Kristi, who owns Jewels Moonlit Treasure (Trissy). If you remember, this is the filly you guys named last year in 2025. Trissy is a yearling now, and Kristi entered a photo of her precious horse in the American Paint Horse Association photo contest (reminds me of our recent photoContinue reading “Trissy Won an Award!”
The Colt’s Name
Yeah, sorry but the name contest was cut a little short. If you didn’t get a chance to suggest a name, this is what happens when you wait until the last minute to submit anything around here. LOL Why? Because I received 87 suggestions and Kristel was impatient to name the colt. She was callingContinue reading “The Colt’s Name”
Name the New . . . COLT!
Jewels foaled last night (June 26, 2026) and gave us a beautiful . . . COLT. We are laughing with embarrassment because the “nail” trick did not prove true, after all. It was accurate every time, and I admit, even I saw it go ’round and ’round last spring and assured myself that she wouldContinue reading “Name the New . . . COLT!”
Old Foals & New Foals
Jewels is getting ready to foal! Year One she gave us a beautiful palomino, Jewels Taffy Kandy, but Taffy had to be put down for untreatable (and painful) laminitus. Year Two (last year) she gave us a lovely paint-type horse, Jewels Moonlit Treasure. Out of the eight color combination possibilities (based on Rubicon’s and Jewels’sContinue reading “Old Foals & New Foals”
Horse & Filly Updates
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”
