Cold morning but doesn’t mean there is no work to be done! Blacksmith Thursday for both farms. I’ll let Linn take it from here 😉🥶
I’m headed for coffee ☕️

It’s a snowy ❄️ night in the mitten! I was headed for an appointment this afternoon—started out—came back—canceled—and decided I didn’t want to be on the roads—thought I would be more useful to get home early to get chores under way before it got too dark! Good thing too it took Linn an hour to get home from Jackson. Be safe out there tonight it’s rather brutal! We are happy to be in all horses are fed and a frozen pizza 🍕 awaits us tonight!

They all seem to arrive at the same time and go home at the same time! Looking forward to watching these now 3 year olds start their sophomore campaign. The “babies” have grown up! Many have gone back to their trainers to prepare for the c**t stakes this summer. We sure have appreciated the honor of caring for some of the best in Michigan and Ohio and wish them all well.
We do have some openings now at both farms if you need some turnout time or some stall rest!
517-524-8539 give us a call for your boarding needs!

My friend Pam stopped at the Burlington farm to bring a treat of apples 🍎 to the horses! She is getting lots of love ❤️. She told them “next time I’ll bring you carrots!🥕 “

2026 the year of the horse!!🐴 And horses are us!! A “ few” pics of our year in review! We had cold winter days and hot summer sun ☀️
I charted races in Ohio and we had fun watching our Maize N Boo race with some of the best fillies in Michigan. We look forward to her 3 year old season and her sister Fluke Affair start her career.
We had good times, sad times, and a change in some plans mid year but we never missed a beat!
All in all it was great and a blessed year caring for some awesome horses making this our best year in the business!
We gained new owners and friends too!
We are blessed and wish you all a Happy Heathy New Year!

Improvise and get it done - it's the cowboy way!

This is the last weekend before Christmas, 2025. Here's hoping all the church nativity scenes are bursting with visitors!
