The Pineapple Express is blowing through the west coast and we are warm and wet! I have never seen so much mud!!
I took Akpay and Davinia’s blankets off to condition them to the cold as they will be going up to the Levermann Ranch past 100 Mile. Davinia is going to run with a [...]

We are so lucky to have such great riders here, who all love to ride on a dark cold rainy afternoon!

(function($){$(document).ready(function(){$(“#px37 a”).lightBox({});});})(jQuery);

(and yes I now notice the ill fitting tack and I’ll check Pagoda’s saddle position and fix Darginka’s bridle!!)
And it looks like Janet has to put Akpai up for sale as she cannot afford [...]

Akpai is for sale and these last couple weeks a couple people have looked at her. She has the easiest temperament of the mares for riding and is the smoothest with the nicest strides:

Pagoda is the surprise for riding. I had given up on her as a sound riding horse after [...]

All the horses are now started under saddle. Akpay is very smooth with great gaits, Pagoda really seems to love being ridden, Darginka isn’t sure she wants to give up control yet and Davinia just loves any attention!

The horses are all healthy and happy, although a bit fat and fluffy and so they resemble cute ponies right now. Pagoda is finally healthy and we plan on breeding her to Habib this spring. I haven’t decided about breeding either Darginka or Akpay so if you are interested in a foal from either next [...]

Youpekli is Habib and Akpay’s first foal and Pagoda is finally doing well and even has a belly now:

I will take tons of photos when I go visit again, I’m waiting until after Darginka has had her baby. Thanks to Tracey Adams for the photos and of course thanks to Brent and Grace for taking [...]

I was hoping to get some great shots of the Tekes but they are still not shed out!! It was a long cold winter for them up north but they are getting back into shape now. Akpay and Darginka are pregnant and we are waiting to see if Pagoda is as well.

All the horses are now together at our neighbours place. Even though she is soaking (it is really pouring!!) Darginka still prefers to be outside, unlike Habib and Pagoda who prefer inside. Akpay wasn’t sure but in the end wandered out with Darginka.

The mares are doing well, although Pagoda could use more weight still and Darginka is now fat. Habib is quite the character.
I can’t wait to get them home, a couple more weeks…

Well, except Darginka, who loves her herd and jumped over 2 fences with a ditch in between to get back to them. I have to figure out something to keep her in. But everyone is doing well and seems happy!!

The horses are finally all boarded!! Thanks so much to Nadja and Misha! I think they will be glad to see the end of Pagoda!
They will now travel from Moscow to Amsterdam, then fly to LA Wed, 3 days in quarantine, then trucked up here next weekend (as long as Pagoda loads – cross your fingers for us)!!

Pagoda cut her leg while being loaded into the trailer and the vet had to stitch her up. Because of the sealed trailer to Amsterdam the horses will now not leave until next week…

Nadja has taken these photos for me and I have to show off these beautiful horses!
