Ok folks this article is about why your horse or dog or whatever needs its own personal savings acount! Im not joking either. We all encounter challenges and lif comes at us a million miles an hour so when someone in the family gets laid off, the fuel bill is way more than you expected, your child is asking for a car and the registraion is now due on the horse trailer....... the last thing you

Rather than reflect on 2009 and what we did, what happened etc, lets focus on what we learned and apply it moving forward in 2010.We always benefit from what we learn. We all had challenges in 2009, but what we learned from those challenges is what we shall apply to the new year.Change is proof of learning: Whether it is a change that is only visible within our self or one the whole world can see

Wanted to give thanks for a wonderful reunion with my family! My Mother, her husband and my brother were able to make it down for a joyous visit on Christmas day. We kept things very simple, had a delicious spiral ham Christmas Eve, with roasted potatoes, salads and a few glasses of my new favorite wine "Crimson". Christmas Day we sat around reminiscing and enjoying each others company. Thank

More and more we find ourselves lost in the "hustle and bustle" of life these days. It is easy to find yourself lost. That is usually when I catch myself putting the cereal in the fridge and the mild in the cuboard, or walkin up the house and trying the unlock the door by hitting the unlock button on my cars key fob! I know at that point it is time for a break!!! Earlier this past fall Michael

What makes us happy? What is on your "makes me happy" list? Do you recognize what makes you happiest and what does not?My friends tease me about being "miss positivity, or the universe captain". Truth is, I really enjoy feeling happy. I am blessed to have had a positive values and feelings instilled in me at a young age. We had a lot of love growing up.Now, its not that I dont have frustrating

Well its officially fall, crispy evenings, and nice days! Always bring thoughts of putting hay up for the winter, cleaning out the tack room, swapping all the blankets, bringing in all the freezeables from the tack room, digging out the water heaters, and certainly finding my winter riding tights!!!!Lots of changes in the last month.

Well it is a cool crisp September 1st here, 55 degrees and wonderful sleeping weather.I have a confession. The little gerbil wheel has been turning in my head as it always is, some tell me I have smoke coming out of my ears often. That little wheel has been spinning ideas left and right as we are working on something huge! Something that will be so useful to equestrians all over the world.

Ok.....so we have something in the works. Over the years we have noticed within our equine community, areas that desperately need help on the business side of things. Some of those things we noticed were: Profit loss, Going Green Options not yet applied, Customer Service, and more.We are here to make a significant difference in the equine business community from the back yard urban farmers to the

We would like to personally thank all who came to the farm and gave up their Sunday to help us expand our paddocks in a combined effort to accomodate our expanding business. Here is a picture before: I hope you can view these pics. You can see all these high piles of brush left over from when we had all the trees cut down 2 years ago. Over the last 2 years lots of alders, sprouts, and prickers

"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us." I love this quote! So often we find ourselves looking at that closed door we really do not see the little opportunities that are presented to us, each and every day. If we really look at every sign and every event as a "message" or a "sign" we can

The sun was out and the temperature was about 55 degrees. Yeah!.We have all been looking forward to this for so long, it was nice to actually get out and enjoy the day.
