For the last week and a half or so, this lovely creature has been making itself comfortable in our riding arena.

At first, we thought it was injured. It puffed out its chest, spread its wings and "chased" anything that got close to it.

Then we saw an egg. Mind you, our arena is ridden in multiple times per day and I was just thinking about mowing 🙃

What a great place for a nest...NOT! I thought surely it won't last long. It'll realize its a terrible spot. The dogs, cats or wildlife would get to it, it'll just disappear overnight... but we did the right thing and marked the nest with a ring of pinecones and worked around it for the day.

My bad?? This thing apparently felt so safe, worshipped even, that it laid 3 MORE EGGS over the last week. The audacity 😒

We're continuing to work around Angry Bird but I am sincerely hoping they're gone before summer camp....its no mystery why some are endangered 😆 and every time it lays another egg I've been resetting the timer 😅

It has been accepted as a semi- permanent fixture in the arena, like a cone or letter. Lessons look a little different lately. "At "angry bird", canter." "When you get to angry bird turn left" 😤

I guess it needs a name.

Spirit is home and recovering 💙🩵

When you support small businesses, you help fund the lives of people like me, and horses like him, so thank you. Donating to a non-profit is a wonderful thing, but don't overlook the opportunity to contribute daily. Support local, support small business!

Programs currently running: now enrolling summer camp! Grooming and body clipping services available! Farm & Family program always enrolling with limited hours over the summer. Lesson program is booked through May, will pause over summer, and resume in August. Equine Health & Emergency First Aid classes to be announced soon!

Update on Spirit! He is out of surgery and the vet said he did GREAT! He will be coming home tomorrow 🙌

Positive vibes for the best boy 💙 he's in Ocala now for (another) surgery tomorrow. He's in the best hands, but at age 28 general anesthesia is a little scary 🥺

Sometimes it seems we skipped Spring... but this week has been full of wildflowers, baby bunnies and birds.
