Hey everyone! Have you met Emma!? This is Emma, our newest addition to the Red Skye family. She is a puppy, a Shepard mix. She is full of energy and excitement. We hope that one day she will make a great therapy dog, just like Phoebe and Sophie. She is in puppy training classes so she can learn to behave like a good girl. She is still little so she has much life ahead of her! Isn’t she adorable!? I am so excited that she is a part of our family.
Howdy there! I wanna thank everyone who came out to our Hug-a-Horse event this weekend! It was so nice to see new friends! Makaday, Brigitta, Lance, and I all enjoyed seeing our friends! We all really really hope that everyone can come to our next event because we like making friends. One thing that was discovered at this week’s Hug-a-Horse is that Lance has baby birds living in his stall! Check out the picture on our Facebook page! Talk to you all soon!
Howdy all! Did you know that Red Skye has a new summer riding program?! It’s for children, ages 6-12, who want to learn how to take care of horses! Kids will learn the colors and breeds of horses, and there will be arts and crafts! I will be there! Children will get to learn how to ride and the parts of my saddle too. It does cost $250 per week, but is offered for most of the summer. Call Niki to save a spot today!
I have some very great news this week! Are you ready for this?! Are you sure you’re ready? Okay…here goes. All of the Red Skye horses are officially certified therapy horses with Pet Partners! This means that Makaday, Lance, and even Brigitta are all certified to go places and bring people happiness! We can go to New Haven and see patients at Yale. We can go to any public and community events with Niki and Claire! Oh my gosh this is soooo exciting! We shall have pictures to come!
Hay there horse lovers! I would like you all to meet another one of my cats friends! This is Charmin. She’s another one of the barn cats who lives on the farm. Charmin is adventurous and likes to wander around the farm and into the woods. Sometimes, she even sits near our waterfall! Charmin is loving and very friendly to newcomers at the barn. One day, Lance was walking down the trails and she was waiting for him at the end of the trail! What a silly kitty!? I hope you all enjoyed meeting Charmin!
Howdy All! This is Miss Annie Mac. She’s one of the barn cats who lives here with me. She like to sleep next to Charmin, our other barn cat, and run around the barn to find mice. She always runs down to the arena with me when I have lessons. She likes to squeeze under the door and play in the arena. Lately, she’s been missing. I haven’t seen her in a few days, probably since about Thursday. If anyone who is in the Bethany area sees her, I hope that they would bring her back to me. We all really miss her ):
It was so nice to have a week off! My friend Brigitta, she’s the only mare in the barn, got to go to a natural horsemanship clinic on Sunday. She did so well that Niki tried the natural horsemanship methods with me. It was difficult at first because I really wasn’t listening. After a couple minutes I got the hang of it! We have been trying to work on all of our manners so we have been working on them at home now. Look at Brigitta and Niki working so well together below!
Howdy! Do you know what I love doing? Smiling! Makaday makes me smile. All of my horse friends make me smile. Annie, our barn cat, makes me smile. My riders make me smile. Doing therapy sessions makes me smile. You know what else makes me smile? Our second “Hug-a-Horse” event! Everyone can come meet me and all the other horses at Red Skye! This Saturday, April 26, from 4-6 p.m. you can come see me and all my Red Skye pals. We all hope to see you there! Oh and by the way, check out the pictures of me showing off my pearly whites below! Aren’t I just so cute?!
Howdy! I have been so busy giving lessons and working with patients in sessions that I just haven’t been able to get to the computer to say HI! So, HI! I hope everyone is doing well. Spring is definitely here now and I have been spending so much time outside! It’s raining at the barn today so I had to get some exercise in the arena…..but I really didn’t want too! Hahahah! Makaday and all the other horses at the barn had too also. I hope everyone has been enjoying the sunshine and I look forward to seeing everyone at the next open house!
