Somehow, even though I mowed down the entire 6 acres, the girls are still finding sticker weeds! I’ve given up. I comb their forelocks every few days w/Cowboy Magic and they come out easy enough. Just a pain in the tookus, though! We’ve been unusually warm for our “winter” and Cass is feeling it’s effects. [...]

When I drive up to the barn it’s always in anticipation of hearing the magical sound. The sound of Cass calling to me. Sometimes Becca is the one that greets me but 9 times out of 10 it’s Cass. No matter what may be on my mind or how tired my body is, that sound [...]
