Good-bye February
February was a busy month at Cheyne Ranch and March is looking even more busy! We are so lucky to spend time with our amazing animals and share all this with our community!
Birthday Party visit
We brought 3 of our ponies to visit a birthday party at Green Acres Farm today. The ponies had fun and were so good. The Cheyne kids were a big help too.
Carvanning to Green Acres Farm
3 horses and 11 people (7 pictured) caravanned from Cheyne Ranch to Green Acres Farm of Oviedo / Geneva. It was a trial run to expose the horses to the super secret trail that connects our neighbors' properties so we can avoid walking on the main road. The horses did ahhhmazing and thanks to our fabulous neighbors, Randy for clearing the path and Scotty for leading us & clearing some more. All the people survived the marshy trail just fine too. I love my neighbors
Our herd of horses
Have you ever tried getting all of your children, or dogs or cats or whatever all in the same photo? This is the closest I can get with all 5 horses... Princess Buttercup, Pearl, Lucy & Nelson all waiting for Lujen to return from his walk.
Cheyne Ranch Helpers!
The students and teachers from the Florida Institute for Community Inclusion were so helpful with the barn chores, they refilled hay and water buckets and even swept the barn center aisle. Then we took Nelson and Princess Buttercup on a neighborhood walk.
Welcome Princess Buttercup!
Look who arrived at Cheyne ranch on Sunday, Feb 16th! We are so lucky to welcome Princess Buttercup into our herd! She is young, adventurous, super people loving and full of spunk. Within 5 minutes of being in our pasture she found an open gate and bolted half mile down the road to a neighbor's barn. It was a village effort to get her back home (the day 1 photos include Princess being very sweaty after quite a sprint, as well as Philip walking her out of the neighbors yard). Thankfully her lovely owner dropping her off was gracious and even helped us get her home after this gate mishap. Thank you to our fabulous neighbor Marian for connecting us with our new miniature, Princess!
50th Barn Tour
We celebrated our 50th barn tour today with the sweetest kids. And I learned about Twitch, like not the kind sometimes used on a horse. Now I'm cool because I know someone on twitch.
