Fireworks and a Peacock!!


It's been a busy week!  Some fireworks were really, really loud and too close for comfort on the Fourth of July!  We have a new neighbor and he thinks loud, bright and way up in the sky are all important parts of fireworks and celebrating the Fourth.  We horses didn't like it much, but maybe that's one of the freedoms our founding fathers didn't think about, but many are glad to exercise!  Happy belated Fourth of July!

Today we have a very large male peacock wandering around the farm!  He is very handsome, and we all think he is from outerspace!  He doesn't really look like anything I'm familiar with - he's so long with his beautiful tail!  He has a neat little crown of feathers on his head, his neck is gorgeous blue, and his tail feathers are beautifully colored and long!  What's been wandering through your yard lately?  Let me know in the comments below!  

Nils, Patrick, Blossom, Molly and I have recently welcomed a new friend to Fish Bowl Farm:  Britta!  She's a 14 year old Norwegian Fjord mare!  She is very nice.  We all like her, and she seems happy to be at Fish Bowl Farm this summer.  She is visiting and being enjoyed for riding lessons.  She loves to be ridden in the arena and out on the trails, and she jumps really nicely!  

See you soon - hopefully not so long between posts in the future!
