Poppies and the days leading up to Remembrance Day hold close in my heart. My Dad fought at the end of WWII as a member of the British Tank Regiment. He was 17.

Friday Farm Update: Bingo & Bluey just received their yearly vaccinations. These vaccinations will protect them against 6 major types of clostridial diseases. Both goats were so good and the breeder commented on how incredibly social Bingo & Bluey were. If you have met these two characters, then you know they have personality-plus! 🐐❤️🐐

November 2nd was Poppy’s “Gotcha Day”. Poppy arrived as a two-year old filly 12 years ago. She has taught me and many others so much about relationships, connection, parenting, co-regulation, choice and other life skills, and has brought so many beautiful friends into my life whom I never would have met without her. She is truly my heart-pony ❤️🐴❤️

Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo. 🐐🎶 Myles came to visit the ponies as part of his home schooling program and ended up finding a true kindred spirit in Bluey. Myles quiet inner energy was reflected in Bluey’s own calm presence around Myles. What a wonderful new friendship that was formed. 🐐💗🙏🏿

It’s the yearly apple bobbing contest! Lil’ Dart holds on to her title of Apple Bobbing champion, however she was followed closely by Zita, while Poppy and her daughter Rosie decided it was simply too much work, and Pepper simply preferred to stay in her stall and eat breakfast. 🐴🍎🎃👻

Friday Farm Update: Before the rains came and winter sets in we harrowed and reseeded all of the pastures. Pam decided harrowing is the best part of being on the farm and declared it her Happy Days! And of course Bluey & Bingo are always right there ready to help. 🐐❤️🐴🌾👩‍🌾

As an extension of our weekly Youth Equine Assisted Learning program, this young horse whisperer is aspiring to enter Zita in the Junior International Horse Agility competition at the end of October. While working on walking Zita on a loose line and getting her to stop on the tarp with all four feet (not as easy as it looks!), our young horse whisperer is learning about her energy, breath, and co-regulation. 🐴❤️
