In The Very Beginning There was the Ponies and Appy's


My Grandpa taught me how to ride, without a saddle,
from day one

Then there was Duke the First


Yes, I am wearing plaid pants. Hey, my mom still
still picked out my clothes (and don't let her convince you
that I chose them!). Duke 1 was my first best friend. My grandpa
is shoeing Duke 1 and Horse (that was really his name!) and my little
brother is holding them.

Then there was Duke the Second


My best friend in high school.

And then there was Solon



Adventures with the farrier


Mike is THE BEST farrier in Oregon and Washington -
and that is not only because he is the only one who would work
on Solon!! Solon truly likes Mike - which is a big deal since he
isn't fond of men. Mike does GREAT work and is very patient with shy
horses. In just a few months, he's gotten Solon's feet back to normal.

This is what happens when a horse wants out of his
turn out pasture before it is time to come in!
Solon sat on it, then walked over it.



Play Time!!


Can you see him laughing!!!
