Snippet of video and a few photos to share!


Two snapshots (obviously from the iPhone) of Dreamcatcher WF wearing his big horse equipment! A vintage Stubben Tristan and then a hand-me-down bridle that was custom made for his ancestor Abundance in the 1960's...so some proof that good leather lasts a lifetime when it is well cared for!



McDreamy does start out a tad hasty in his rhythm in this clip. He was a bit surprised that I was in a different position! If you can persevere to the end, you'll see him settle into his super tempo and then fabulous walk. He is on track to be undersaddle by the weekend, so check back for more footage soon!


aaaaand as promised...footage from the following day! This is the first direction (we always start to the left), so he's on the same page about the program and order in which things are happening. Such a good baby horse!

Some Fun for our Friends and Fans to End the Year!

Things here on the farm are busy, busy, busy! Which is always good. We have quite a few horses joining our training program, so check back often for links to their pages and new photos!




We are trying to encourage more interaction from our supporters on Facebook and for any followers here on the blog too. There are a great many photos from over the years on our FB page HERE, so if you want to play along, go ahead and flip through as many as you would like and send us the link(s) to your Top 10! We will announce the winners to begin the New Year for a bit of fun!


There is a Group Lesson this coming Saturday at 2PM - please email or message either me or Anne@watermark-farm.net to sign up. We will make the decision as to the indoor or outdoor early on Friday AM, so if there is demand, we will split into 2 groups inside - a 2PM and a 3:15PM.


There is a Long Lining Clinic set for December 8th. You can sign up for that by emailing me (Ellie@watermark-farm.net) or calling Anne on her cell.

Happy Riding!

Clear skies! Nice temperatures! Long lining anyone?

It must be getting closer to fall! :) We've enjoyed a glorious few days with nicer temperatures and sunny skies! 








So since fall is approaching (I think it's here really), who would be interested in a long lining clinic?


We can free up a Saturday in September and set a date. If you have a Saturday that works best - speak up now!!! Send an email, comment below - let us know what works and we'll do another day of helping people to learn this valuable skill!
