Looking to reuse 16 fence boards. If you are upgrading your fence or know of someone who is even if they think it is only dump run worthy if you could let me k...now. We wìll come and help clean up. Can do a dump run in exchange for whatever we are able to reuse. Farm project so we can probably use what you may think is garbage. See more

Some goodbyes are hard to face. I love all the horses that are here. All the ones I have ever worked with and loosing yours hurts me as bad as my own. I do this for 2 reasons 1 ) I just have too its part of my love of horses. 2) if for some reason you are unable to be here the horse knows and trusts me too and they do not have to be alone or with strangers. In the last 2 months we have lost 2 it is a harsh reality to retirement both ladies lived full beautiful lives. It was m...y absoloute honor to be with them till their new beginning. Vixen was a spicey soul and I did not want to post it.Made her goodbye real and after hundred of hours hanging out with the old bird I did not wish to bid her farewell here. Sassy had an equally beautiful soul in a completely different way. She looked after my kids and was the definition of a childrens unicorn. Vixen was lost to this world end of March just before she turned 26 in April. Sassy we said goodbye in the first hours Weds morning at the beautiful age of 26. It is a hard loss but at the sametime beautiful. The quietness and space at the farm wont ever be filled. I was blessed to be there and to hold both. I always will. See more

I would advise texting before headin out to the barn today. Please keep dogs away from the Quanset and Do NOT go into the barn if you are not comfortable. Will have everything cleaned up this am.

Yay more COVID stuffs (insert as much sarcasm as possible) as per AEF. Unfortunately rules are rules, due to the fact that we are all out doors and we dont run lessons you may still continue to come and care for and excersize your animals. We will make it through this together.

I have been so bad with pictures

Yesterday we said goodbye to the original Ornament acres resident, there will be a post dedicated to her later. Today was soooooooo windy! Everyone is looking good in the sunshine. Anyone who knows me, knows the poo drives me crazy. It has finally started to melt enough I can start raking and shoveling again ......... soooon it will be warm enough to harrow.

Thoroughbreds and warmbloods wrapped up in their blankies. Quarters and paints giggled "look at those babies" The big percheron shouted "hey! where’d you all go?!" He had not even noticed the snow start to blow. Fjord ponies frolicked as temps start to drop.... But should I consider this whole day a flop? Take a page from the horse, they are wise, they’ve been through it. Just go butts to the wind and you'll find you can do it! By Amber Frederick Thank you Heidi for editing we all know I am not that savy hahahaha

If there are any special instructions for your ponies that haven't already been done. Let me know and stay home it's yucky out here. I would post pictures but everything is white. All blankets have been upgraded all extras have been given. Everyone is loaded up on Hay. The horses do not seem nearly as upset about this as I am.

Breakfast faces are the best. Annnnnnnnd Kitty

Well we all know I am no good at updates. Some of the crew this beautiful January day. Good news is even if winter decides to hit hard its just gonna be shorter. Been fantastic.

If only it wasnt so icy. Apple is definately looking preggers one more month to third trimester.

Managed to fit 3 of 4 hay runs in the last two days, final run tomorrow ....... we should be good till February. Every one is very happy with their all you can eat buffet. John came out and managed to get the snowblower on the tractor working. Then proceded to do the whole drive way. Beautiful sunny days make the snow trudging better.
