Gracie’s New Career
The farm family grew again. Ginny found her perfect horse: a rescued coming two-year old Belgian cross filly. The filly came to be known as Magdalene. She arrived loose in the horse trailer–she was unapproachable, virtually feral. They could not get near her to halter her so they bribed her into the trailer with sweetfeed.
As Maggie adjusted to a whole new way of living, Grace stepped into a new career–Maggie’s mentor.
We humans began the journey of natural horsemanship: entering Maggie’s world and inviting her into ours. Gracie took her into the farm world and began showing her the ropes.

Indian Summer- Warm Weather Natural Horse Care
Indian summer weaves its way between cold snaps here in wild, wonderful West Virginia. I welcome the warm sunshine which glows through the foliage. I can take off my winter coat, but the horses can’t.
As I wait for the wash bucket to fill to sponge off a very sweaty Brego, I think about the challenges Indian summer presents to horses, and the ways a natural horseman can meet those needs. (more…)
