I'm not a horse person but have always liked the build of the Morgans. It fits well with the mustang

The idea of a "lap horse" just doesn't appeal!

Yes probably one of the most dangerous "bad"habits. Have come to the conclusion that previously he has been handled by people who are either afraid of him or who bullied him into doing what they wanted. Prior my Mom's husband's death they had about 15 horses, but they were mostly pasture ponies. Pretty much were not asked to work. I have been wanting a draft pony for awhile..... and this guy is very friendly. He does still have a desire to please though his fear and anxiety overides it. Also need to work on his attention span, which may never change at his age.... but there's potential. I just can't let my guard down when handling him and can't let anyone inexperienced handle him.

Winter is here. Snow on the ground since the weekend and below 0 windchills. Broke down and put in dividers in 3 cages so all bunnies are back in the bunny shed instead of some in the open sided pony shed. Horses are doing well. Of course they just get to stand around eating hay. I did call and talk to a local trainer about Jin.... would really love her to put 30 days on him..... haven't discussed it with my dh. But doubt I can talk him into $650 for training. Very glad we don't have to get out much in these temps.

Finally have some bunnies sold... 2 have deposits put down. Which means I can breed some does. I have 8 Velveteen does and 1 polish I want litters from this spring.... that's a few bunnies if they cooperate. I think I need a new shed, well a barn would be wonderful. 
it happens this year.
Haven't talk to DH about training on Jin, not going to worry too much until it warms up.
For Chrstmas I did get a lawn cart to hook to one of the mowers so I can move manure easier.
Happy new year to our BYH friends!

Sounds like Rabbit "Math" to me....stretching up to a Barn every time I see your banner I am always reminded of my many trips to Wakarusa and New Carlisle. We hope all goes well for ya too in this New Year.

Yesterday Jocelyn and I attended a food swap. We took eggs, red velvet cupcakes and canned tomato sauce. We brought home chicken tortilla soup, spice mix, homemade rice mix, pralines, puppy chow, water kefir, pimento spread, chocolate cupcakes, cranberry muffins, sunchokes, fudge. I think that's it!it was lots of fun! John wants to attend next time. Here's my "display"

How does the swap work? Simple barter like I'll give you 5 chocolate cupcakes for 5 red velvet and this much puppy chow for 2 dozen eggs?
