Home to Hackney Horses. |

With the arrival of warmer weather and the retreat of the snow covering the fields here at Evorglens, I was able to build my first paddock. I used a local style of fence building that doesn’t use posts (which would have been impossible to place with the ground still frozen). The terrain in my area is quite rocky and, as a result, several styles of fencing were developed in the past by innovative farmers to deal with this. The fence is far more stable that I expected it to be and I am quite pleased with the result. With the paddock finished, I was able to bring the horses home. Thanks go out to the Brunton family, who did a fantastic job of caring for my horses prior to them coming home.

The Discovery of CEM in the United States has consequences for Canadians who move horses or horse gemplasm (semen and embryos) across the border. Take a moment to review the information present on the website of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency concerning import restrictions. |

What a year 2009 was! It proved to be full of lots of new experiences for me. In May I was fortunate enough to have my parents come for an extended visit, during which we made some big changes in my ‘barn’. We built stalls, installed windows and put down rubber mats. I also foaled out a mare for the first time on my own in 2009. I was a bit nervous, but all went very well without incident. My hands were full having the mare and foal to look after, so I decided to send my 2 year old Hackney gelding, Sirius, for some training. He was bored at home and responded very well to the more active atmosphere of a training barn. I hope 2010 will continue to bring new and exciting experiences to my life! |
