EQUINE AFFAIRE_2019 

The Merrimack Valley Icelandics have a wonderful group of adult ( yes I consider myself an adult ) ladies. Some are boarders, others like myself lease one of their wonderful Icelandic's. This past year, we have accomplished some amazing demonstrations, clinics, and Sanctioned Horse Shows.. One of which was at the magnificant Montaire Horse Farm in Virginia.  But, to end this past year we did our drill team demonstration at The Big E in Springfield.   Here are some photos of these wonderful horses and ladies.  Unfortunately, my horse was not able to attend, so I was the photographer for the demonstrations.

Post colic Surgery April 26, 2010

Every horse owners nightmare when your horse needs surgery due to colic. April 26th Beau stopped eating and was lying down in his paddock during turnout.

His breathing was heavy and he never chooses to lie down if the option is to eat something. I called the vet right way and explained that he just started doxycycline, gave up eating and after walking him he finally passed some manure. We all thought it was looking good as he picked at his hay around 5:00 PM.

2014 Icelandic Farm Vermont Trip

Why we decided to go to the Icelandic Farm http://www.icelandichorses.com/  in October one will never know, but hey that's what people do when they live three hours away and don't realize the weather could change on a dime. In spite of the rain and 20 degree mornings, we had the time of our lives and can't wait to go back. This year we will do the Trek early September in the peak of foliage and hopefully dryer warmer weather. Both my friends, Gail & Rachel independent of one another wanted to take this trip. Not knowing one another I put the deal together and once away in our own "vacation land" we were all separated at birth. Many a laughs and drinks later... We stayed at Landau Bed and Breakfast which I cannot rave enough about. The food, the owner... outside fire pit.. rooms, cat and friendly guest this is a must go back again type of place. Here is where we stayed.  http://www.lareaufarminn.com/
