Where has the time gone? Earlier this week, we received the information on the graduation ceremony, and her diploma was ordered.

My little girl is blossoming into a beautiful young lady both inside and…

An Afternoon Horse Grooming Session with GROOMA

Posted in Family, and Reviews

Special thanks to Hamilton Pets for providing a sample GROOMA medium bristle horse grooming brush to test out with our horses. It was a beautiful day outside today. The sun was shining, but there were a few clouds in the sky to help keep the sun from constantly beating down on us. A nice breeze was blowing. It was the perfect day for a thorough grooming of the horses. They are both shedding their winter coats. Dixie had a much thicker coat than Phantom, so she’s shedding like crazy. The horses were quite mellow when we headed outside, but they…
