It’s not all about horses around here. My daughter (Kristel) and I joined the goat business together and we have a website and everything. Some of the more difficult endeavors is drawing blood from the jugular vein (on 15 Nubian goats) in order to assure ourselves (and our customers) that we have a clean herdContinue reading “Goats, Goats, & Foal Update”

Dogs, Puppies, and Lovin’
Andi’s Blog rarely posts about other animals besides horses (and maybe goats once in a while), but today we get to hear from a special guest blogger, who runs Kingdom Kenelz, and she and her sisters are Andi fans. So, I figure that qualifies, right? With no further ado, let me introduce you to thisContinue reading “Dogs, Puppies, and Lovin’”
How Pretty Are These?
One of our Andi fans, Ella P., has started her own business of hand-made (and very pretty) items. She asked if I’d give her a little shout out, and after looking over her site, I am delighted to do so! Here’s a quick introduction from Ella, and then I’ll step back out of the wayContinue reading “How Pretty Are These?”
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”
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”
Jewels and Treasure Outside
The weather has been horrible in Texas. Rain, rain, rain. Treasure (Trissy) is so smart and so active. She’s more active than Taffy was at her age (2 years ago) and when Kristel calls, this baby comes running! Kristel told me, “This foal is a true ‘Taffy,’ as she comes when she’s called.” Baby TaffyContinue reading “Jewels and Treasure Outside”
Jewels Foaling Video
More Photo Friday posts > It’s Photo Friday, and what better way to share than a foaling video! It took me awhile, since I was caught up in Levi’s graduation last weekend – through Tuesday. Whoosh! It was crazy busy. But last night I finished up the foaling video and am excited to share it.Continue reading “Jewels Foaling Video”
Tonight or Early Tomorrow Morning
Jewels’ milk hit the threshold: 6.2 pH. So there is no turning back! It will be tonight or tomorrow morning. Sadly, I will be leaving for a 5.5 hour drive over the mountains (Cascades) for our grandson Levi’s graduation. So even if she foals, I may not learn about it to pass the good newsContinue reading “Tonight or Early Tomorrow Morning”
Taffy Update
Taffy just turned two years old on Wednesday, March 26. Happy birthday, Taffy! We sure wish you felt better. As I’ve mentioned before, Taffy suffers from a severe–and somewhat rare–form of laminitis. The vet believes it came about because of the move from CA to TX a year and a half ago. Very stressful, evenContinue reading “Taffy Update”
