those moments

These are horse videos and horse experiences from several years ago

bareback on Rocky first time
back at SC acreage

GNP (grasslands national park trail ride)
Brian riding Leroy!

GNP

FORT WORTH, TEXAS 2015

our paint horse Ben came back to our new acreage after being

away for 8 months.  This is my favourite video of all time.

Rocky and Ziggy remember who he is that is for sure.

Schutler is a colt that is co-owned with Brian and his  friend and
it was our turn to train.  But....he developed a couple of sarcoids
that we had to get a vet check on treatment plan for it.

I will add more once I can get them transferred from all the different cell phone

cameras and my digital cameras that I used over the years. 

melting finally - the pond

I'm just as relieved and

excited for spring to be here as anyone,so the melt is on.

This is the 3 year old colt who just stood here

for about 20 minutes and I yakked and chatted with

him, he is usually chasing the mares' but at this time I had

his full listening attention!

I hope this burnt-orange nose stays as it is a unique

marking

simple video of our pond today

Open Book - look him in the eye

let me take a look at an open friendly horse

and you can tell that by his eye it is soft

and not panicked

The Open Book
From reined cow horse competitors to weekend pleasure riders, most horse owners want a partner that is easy to work with. The perfect horse for an inexperienced rider has an “Elsie the Cow” type of eye: round, open and kind.

Buckley says that the non-complicated horse advertises its willing attitude.

Ben

here is our Ben
He is an open friendly horse

he get's concerned a bit but is really ready to please the
rider; he is a delight to ride and has never bucked in all our years
of riding him.  He is 22 years old now and still an honor to ride.

Schutler

Here is one of the young colts on our acreage who is almost 4 years old.  He is being placed in the

open book category.  He is super friendly, however he is yet to be completely figured out.

 What do you think?

KIRKVILLE horse interactions

celebrating February 1, 2018

i am not a commercial blogger

can't get to Kirkville website?  

where to go?

Google is refusing my custom domain name

of kirkvilleacreage.com

as they want to charge me as a business

website.

This is of course because we use gmail for all our email

services and google is behind it all.  Google +, Google Circles, Google G Suite

et al....

I can't seem to contact them or explain I am not receiving

revenue as a business

so I have had to go back to just being a blogger.com

blog

I am not wanting to lose all my photos from 2008 here,

almost 10 years of family and horse adventures photos and stories.

(technology is getting more complicated for me)

I love to blog and share and connect socially

on this internet or social media.  I really do, however,  I am 

wanting to keep it as basic as possible.

if you are a fan (💓 and I thank you) then you need

to search for it under this URL:

kirkville-acreage.blogspot.ca

that's all folks!

toothpaste cure (maybe)

sarcoid on 3 year old colt

This 3 year old colt that we co-own has a couple of bumps on his body.  This video he is
just returning from a vet check and we will wait to see what she recommends for removal.  Vets' don't like to surgically remove these in the summer because of flies as when it is cut out it is not stitched closed.

They recommend natural liquid honey to place on the open wound and it heals very quickly.

New vet healing methods with a natural product.  Who knew?





{it was extremely windy when i took this video so my voice cuts out a bit - sorry!}

spring vibes

Spring is showing itself

with sunny blue skies.

We have a new colt at our

acreage.

Bruschetta is the mare on

the right (now named Grace), so muddy in this picture;

she needs her hooves clipped

and picture taken

as she is going up for sale

on some horse sale websites

here is a nicer pic of Grace (previously named Bruschetta)

she is a beautiful horse with a

good nature.

This colt is an interesting colour

a burnt orange colored nose

with gold hues showing through

his dark brown fur.

his name is Shutler (sp) (I do not know what it means) I'm going to call him
"new brown' horse!

blue skies
new horses
it's changing the energy around here
I like that!
