Trainee Update
A great variety of animals continue to arrive at the farm. Getting to train my first donkey to drive. Have put a number of horses to cart including a Gypsy Drum and a Friesian. Continue to have Standardbreds to ride and drive. A number of folks have been helping to school our Ambassador Horse, Lester. Meghan has been helping school Oakley outside the ring. Baby Rio is slowly working on desensitizing to tack and some trailer loading (which he's very good at). Never dull here.
