Hey guys! Since I haven’t been on in while due to march break, I’m going to give you guys a quick update and maybe even a summary of my activities on march break!
So, for march break, I went to a horse camp. the horse camp was at The Bureaus Barn. At horse camp, we learned how to clean saddles, groom for shows, and how to do a half halt.
A half halt is when you pull on your outside rein ever so slightly, which signals to horse to slow down.
We also put halters on our human friends, attached a long cord to the halter which is called a lunge line, and then we made circles around the person in the center holding the lunge line. (This is called lunging.)
We also groomed each other, (with brushes) and picked out our boots with hoof picks. Our week-long camp was very fun and we shared lots of laughs with the other girls.
My brother, Jake, has baby goats starting to get born, and we already have four. Their names are, Elvis (Black and white), Blizzard (Completely white), Rose(completely white), and finally, Orchid. (White with tiny brown dot on his back). I still have soooo many chickens, that I don’t even remember how many I have!
My sister still has her 29 inch tall black miniature pony stallion, who, by the way, is 24 years old. Me and Olivia (my sister) have had our two fish, Coral Reef Lewington and Merlin Spell Lewington, and we have had them for nearly three years. They are Betta fish.
I still have my now 8 month old calico kitten Fauna, and Livy (Olivia) still has Binou, her fluffy 8 month old white and black kitten. Livy also still has her seven year old orange tabby cat, and she also has her other tabby, Simba, and Jake has their mom, Speels. (Playful in dutch).
We still have lots of cows, and now we have pigs! We should be expecting piglets from our sows soon, and our pork pigs are, lots of them, ready to be “harvested”.
So there’s the scoop on all the animals that are now living on our farm!
*2 days later*
So, we have 3 new baby goats! We don’t have names for them yet, but were working on it. They are all single children. We don’t know all of their genders yet, but one of them is a boy.
Our kittens just got their vaccine shots, and we will be returning for a booster in a month. Fauna wasn’t feeling the best, but she getting better now. Binou was just angry, hyper, sad and a bunch of other emotions, such as confusion.
