Gentle giant & a boy

One very nice morning at the farm.
It’s great to see the younger generation get started with horses.
Who’s next?

First time on a horse

After watching his Dad, Sam decided to give it a try.

Not bad for aged 9.

Bonnie welcomes visitors at the CVF

Dave, Sam & Abby had a visit with Bonnie.

She gave Dave a great ride.

Almut takes Jack for a spin

It was a good morning to give Jack a try with the English saddle.

He was great!!!!!!!!!!!

Jack gets a trim

Carrie was at the farm today to trim the boys.
Sure is great to use the saddle stand for the rear feet, and the gentian violet for any thrush.
Thanks Carrie for your continuing care.

Flashback: Kittens at CVF

Each spring there would be another lot of kittens.

Some even found a home in Ancaster.

Flashback: Pigs at CVF

Over the years we have had many batches of pigs.

A great way to recycle.
