ahhhhhhhhh…..
Somehow I STILL love to watch a horse roll!! Here’s Jack getting a good back scratch (which was followed by a good grooming!!)
Amen to dry feet!!!
Between turning the horses out and taking Mav out, I spend the better part of my morning walking around in the cold, wet grass. As you can imagine, having cold and wet feet is no picnic. Problem solved…..Meet my new boots!!!!! Amen. ‘Nuff said.
Ride ’em cowboy!
We had a pony party with another pony party company this weekend. The theme of the party was a Western theme so here’s a picture of Monte who was all dressed up for the occasion.
Tribute to Leo
I’m very sad to say that we lost a dear friend this weekend. Leo suffered a broken ankle on Saturday. After much consideration by an equine surgeon and many tears Leo was sadly put to rest. All of us at Keona Farm will miss Leo dearly, but mostly we’d like to console Alyssa who lost her best friend.
Wild Mushrooms
Not uncommon to see some mushrooms once it cools down, but this year we have some really weird ones!! They look like golf balls!!
Fun facts about Praying Mantis
I was taking Maverick out and this little girl flew straight into me. We don’t see too many praying mantis but occassionally we do. This is the second one I’ve seen in as many weeks, so I looked it up to find out more info. The most common fun fact about a praying mantis is how she bites off the males head after mating. Well, if you believe what you read online, that’s true. I learned 2 new things about them…they are NOT endangered in North America, and I also learned that the green ones are the girls. The brown ones are the boys.
Setting the boundaries
I can hear an applause from Patty cause the fence in the back field finally got mended. That means he can go out and eat all that yummy grass!!! Three out of the four fence posts here were replaced in the past week. I’m not sure who’s happier, me or Patty!!!! Thanks Jim!
Harvest Fest & Community Day!
Saturday was a full day of pony gigs for us. We had Harvest Fest at Sergeantsville Farmer’s Market in the morning and then we had Community Day all afternoon. Here’s one little guy getting his first pony ride at Community Day. Thanks to Jen, Kate, Jim and Barb who made it possible for Keona Farm to be in 2 places at once this weekend!
Naptime
Today we take a field trip to brother Jack’s farm. Here’s a shot of Jack the donk (Left), and Jesse (right) taking a nap together enjoying the beautiful NJ fall weather.
