May 26, 2021  I try to make all thing comfortable for our horses.  Nice clean saddle pads, clean, well fitted tack, saddles that fit the horse and the rider too.  It appears that things are going backwards.  When I was little the bits were loose ring straight bits made by the blacksmith/farrier out of iron.  …

May 13, 2021 At the farm, my mission is to try to  work smarter, not harder.  I had to find an easier way to get around the farm.  The truck although being 4WD has a lot of trouble, in the spring, climbing the slippery slopes of the Sanctuary hills.  We are now down to feeding …

May 10, 2021 There are times when I feel that I will never get ahead of the list, that is really a list of lists. May was so cold and windy it was a challenge to get the outside chores finished.  Fencing seems like forever.  I am waiting on my woodsman, there are still 3 …

March 17, 2021 We are in the middle of our March Break activities.  There is nothing too different from camps in years past.  There is usually a blizzard.   This one was a doozie, a couple of parents challenged the roads.  To me it is more important to be safe.  Perhaps when you get half …

March 3, 2021 Well March has come in like a Lion, it will be interesting if it goes out like a lamb.  Perhaps spring will be early.  We hope!  In my dreams!!  Another 10 bales went to the field today.  It is great hay and they are demolishing the bales.  It is working out to …

December 10, 2020 Merry Christmas to all horse keepers.   Despite the closing of all things entertaining, the farm has to continue daily with the care of horses, llama, cats and dog.  Sunday the 6th we dewormed the herd.  I was waiting for the hard hard frost, that has been  slow coming.  I noticed some …

November 25, 2020 And here we are heading into December.  The weather has been exceptionally mild and makes herd keeping so easy.   Erik is able to put the round bales on the hills of the south pasture.  The stream is not great but still running.  And when those two items are difficult, they will …

August 26, 2020 So sad, my summer students have finished their allotted work project with the Sanctuary.  It was a great summer for me to have them, I am not asking their opinion.   The herd will certainly miss all their attention.   On second thought, it must have been a good thing.  Kiaya and Zoe came …

April 11, 2020 Kensington Country Store was a source of joy for me.  Three times I have purchased Snow Peas and Sugar Snaps.  I came home and stored them in a safe place.  So safe I haven’t found them yet.  I always plant peas early.  One year I planted them March 29th and  had peas …
