January 22, 2012 – Ok… what is up with the weather in southern Ontario? This is the strangest winter we have had in a long time. Very little snow (more rain than snow so far); only a couple of cold, cold days; and too much ice! The poor horses are walking very cautiously… and so are we.

Happy Holidays from all of us at Shady Ridge Farm!
December 18, 2011 – So… I just realized that it has been 2 months since I posted an update about our farm and horse life. I’ve posted about web designs I have done and other information but I can’t believe I haven’t posted an update! Oh wait… yes I can… life has been super busy. Everything from work to family to horses, life is just crazy… but lovin’ (almost) every minute of it. And, with so little time for extras, unfortunately my blog updates and my photography have had to take a back seat. I won’t make any promises that my tardiness will be suddenly rectified and the posts will start coming again on a regular basis but I do promise to “think about” posting more often and then being hard on myself when it doesn’t happen.

October 8, 2011 – Wow… I can’t believe how long it has been since I have done an update on what has been happening around here. Things have been so busy it is hard to find the time to jot down what has been going on. I’ve been trying to think of some way that I can do regular updates that don’t take up too much time but alas, I can’t think of how to do it so if you have any suggestions, I am open to your thoughts.

August 22, 2011 – You would think I live the busy life of a horse mom or something by the lack of “ramblings” I have posted here. Oh ya… that’s right… I am a busy horse mom… not to mention entrepreneur, wife, mother and Jill of all trades. And this summer seems to be busier than any other summer that I can remember.

If you have ever seen your horse choke, you will agree that visually, it is one of the scariest emergencies that can happen in horses. Thankfully, it often looks worse than it actually is and most horses will resolve the obstruction on their own. However, it is an emergency that you should be able to recognize and take immediate measures to lessen your horse’s anxiety level before the vet arrives. It is important to know the common causes of choke and possible sequelae. Read the rest of this entry »
July 11, 2011 – Well… the heat of summer has finally arrived and so have the summer bugs! Thankfully it isn’t too bad out there for the horses in the paddocks but we can’t go on any hacks or even walks in the woods. We could use a little more rain around here too. Everything is so dry and dusty. Thankfully Randy added an adapter to the faucet in the barn so we can water the veggie garden. It is doing great. Love fresh beets, radishes, beans, and more. Think I will plant less lettuce next year though. We have WAY too much. Hey… can I feed lettuce to horses? Read the rest of this entry »
