This is a P.S. to Friday’s Video of Maggie (and Painted Acres) great news about Maggie being “in foal.” Remember when I told you Kristel wants a buckskin, and Maggie has produced 3 buckskins so far with Rubicon, the sire? Well . . . today, Kristel sent me a photo of Maggie’s sire, “Son ofContinue reading “Breaking News”

Painted Acres Fun
Watch the video to see what kind of “fun” Painted Acres is talking about. We are so excited!
Taffy Surprises Us
The real-life Taffy never fails to surprise us. For one thing . . . *gasp* it appears that our golden palomino filly is turning into a chocolate palomino! Her full adult color won’t show up until August, but today, Kristel got a big surprise bathing her and the after color. Unbelievable! I thought I’d shareContinue reading “Taffy Surprises Us”
We SO want a foal next season!
It’s that time of the year. This year, Painted Acres Ranch has its own stallion, the ever kind and gorgeous Rubicons Moonlight ➡️ He is the sire of Kody and Taffy, as you are all very well aware. Well, this next year, Kristel would like a tobiano buckskin foal out of Jewels. If you remember,Continue reading “We SO want a foal next season!”
Horses Update
The weather in north Texas is very different from the weather in Andi Country (i.e. California foothills). From hot and humid to roaring thunder and pouring rain, most often all in one day. A huge storm was predicted for one evening/night last week, so all of us were pulled into work to help clean upContinue reading “Horses Update”
More Horses!
Everybody knows our Taffy and Dakota. I know you like to read updates, so today is the day. A lot of things have happened over the past couple of months that affect Taffy…. sort of. Painted Acres Ranch moved from Andi Country in CA (I’m not quite sure I like that idea yet) to TX.Continue reading “More Horses!”
Kody and the Saddle Pad
It comes to all good horses eventually. They need to learn to carry a rider. Clearly, Dakota (at six months old) is not old enough to carry even the youngest rider, even though he is over 12 hands high already! However, it’s never too early to teach him that saddle pads are fun and interestingContinue reading “Kody and the Saddle Pad”
Rubicon and His Foals
Rubicon’s Moonlight Motion, Dakota’s sire, has been trained to lie down and let his former owner, Megan, rest on his back. Rube is a big stallion, 16hh, but he’s as gentle as a kitten. (Kristel is his new owner). Watch this fun video with Megan showing Rube off, and then Kristel beginning the first stepContinue reading “Rubicon and His Foals”
Dakota Six Months Old
A fun video showing Kristel of Painted Acres Ranch and Kody. He stands like a gentleman in one place, with his head up, to have his hooves picked. Just like Andi trained Shasta and Sunny to stand still while they have their hooves picked. Here is the excerpt from Thick as Thieves. Andi is doingContinue reading “Dakota Six Months Old”
Taffy and Kody Update
Mrs. M has been reunited with her “babies,” Taffy and Dakota. Eeks! They have grown so much, but they did remember me. And now that I have been on Painted Acres Ranch for almost two weeks, it’s like I never left them. When I let them out to find their hay in the pasture, KodyContinue reading “Taffy and Kody Update”
