April 2010

Spring may finally have sprung!!!  With the arrival of our first two foals of 2010 we are starting to feel that summer truly is around the corner.  Yetta and Duncan, Fjord foals, arrived at approximately 4:15am on April 2, 2010.  That's right... they arrived at the same time, what a coincidence!  We have five more foals to arrive this year and they all should be here by the end of May so keep checking back for new pictures and updates on the wee ones.  There are three Miniature mares and two AQHA mares left to foal. 
 
The horses have been off the fields for the last month.... oh the joys of cleaning stalls for approximately 35 horses everyday!  Things seem to be drying up around the farm and we're seeing green grass peaking out every... yahoo!  We're hoping it won't be long and they'll all be out frolicking in the sun. 
 
Glenn has been busy with spring training, between those coming in from outside barns and our youngins that are due to be started he has his hands full.  If you're looking for a young prospect with lots of potential, look no further! 
 
On February 20th and March 20th we hosted reining clinics sanctioned by IRHA with clinician Phillip Theberge.  Both proved to be a great success with lots eager riders and great instruction.  On March 20th, Eastlink came out and took some footage and is putting together a piece about reining on Prince Edward Island.  There will be another clinic held on April 17th so if you're interested in coming out don't hesitate to contact us soon as spots are filling up quickly. 
 
Work on the barn seems to finally be slowing down (finally) with the heated viewing room and loft completed.  We are able to hay all horses from above with the new loft in place which cuts down on mess and waste. 
 
Our Newfoundland female, Sophie, will have her last health clearance completed this coming weekend and should be coming into heat within the next three weeks... I'm very excited about her potential mate but am not going to spill the beans until everything is finalized.  We're very excited at the prospect of wee little Sophie's running around and hitting the Maritime show circuit!
