Catch Up

It's been several months since my last post as I was busy getting ready for my oldest daughter's wedding which took place October 8. That's me with my kids and the happy couple.

But we did manage to find time for some exciting events here on the farm as well. Of course we had a couple lambings.

A puppy litter.

Attended dog shows where my daughter's registered dogs won lots of ribbons.

In particular, Hudson, our up and coming stud, did very well winning championship, then grand championship and finally Best in Show.

We finally found time to hook Pixie up to the cart. And she shocked us entirely by knowing exactly what to do. 

She was totally amazing. We took her step by step through the process of introducing a mini to cart but I am completely honest when I say that we did each step once, she passed each test and progressed on to the next level without any problem. Here is a video of her progress. Done all within a couple hours.

We've owned her for four years and have never introduced her to cart. However, it is possible she was trained before we purchased her as a four year old, That mini came to us completely broke and completly amazing. We love this mini.

The baby foal running along next to her is Oakley, the colt she gave birth to back in May. He is getting big fast.

And nearly as tall as his big sister, Blossom, now.

Here's a cute video of him herding the sheep back in the summer when he was still tiny.
