Little River Hanoverians

I sit here, in my 8th week I believe, of quarantine.  We have been making the most of it, and are happy to have gotten some chores completed that were neglected for a while. 

Amazingly our wood is all cut and piled for next winter ... usually a chore we are not abl...

Well well well.  Chatting to you here in self-isolation.  Really enjoying life on the farm, and all the space and freedom we have here to escape to.  What a crazy time though.  We did not expect it to ever get to this level.  My massage business shut down last week, Cl...

Let's start off by saying, WHAT A YEAR!  Wow, two fillies in the TOP 10 in Canada, and

Holy, what a miserable winter.  Started in November, with super cold temps ... December and part of January were okay with good footing and reasonable temperatures.  Mid January and all February has plainly sucked.  10 cm's snow, then plus 5, 15-20ml's rain, then flash...

Wowee, what a trip!  Of course, I have the miserable, never ending head cold that made the trip a bit fuzzy for me ... but nonetheless it was awesome. 

I flew into Montreal, was picked up by my Ontario friends at the airport and we headed cross border to Burlington...

Minus the never ending mud and rain that seems to be our fall this year (last year was GORGEOUS), the horses are all doing well.  Funny, on the rare sunny and warm day, they seem to breathe a sigh of relief and all lay down and soak up the sun.  After a dry summer, the...

Well, what a summer!  Hot hot hot with loads of humidity meant lots of baths and praying that embryo's stayed in place.  We are expecting a Fabregas x Fidertanz, a Secret x Diamond Hit and stay tuned to hear about our final pregnancy ....

We just returned from the...
