This week at Enyalien I am looking forward to a few things!
I have found a young man to dig my post holes, for shelters, and he will begin this coming
weekend on the first one. I am very much looking forward to having permanent shelters up,
rather than temporary ones. He is trying to earn money for karate lessons, and has not been able
to find work (he is 16, so that limits his options), and is fresh off a job helping a friend's father build
a deck. He does happen to be one of my sons, but hey...it is important to learn a good work ethic,
and farming will certainly teach it!
I am looking forward to a visit or two to Snippa and Delight, who are staying at a friend's house. He
has grass, and needed a lawn mower *smiles* It has been discovered that Snippa does NOT approve
of sheep! One of the girls down the street has one for her FFA and 4-H project, and young Arnold was
very excited at the prospect of meeting other 4 legged friends. Delight was also, but I am told Momma
stepped in and said 'NO!' very strongly, so Arnold is not coming over to play anymore, and is probably sporting 3-4 sets of mini hoof prints also. Thank goodness he is ok, if a bit shaken up.
For this week's blog posts, I am looking forward to covering topics on foaling and color genetics. I love studying genetics related to horses and will be going there often over time, on a variety of subjects.
Have a great day, and week!
Chronicles of the goings-on at Enyalien Miniature Horse Farm. Thoughts on breeding, foaling, showing, and whatever else I'm thinking at the moment!
Enyalien Farm Miniature Horses
Hello, and welcome to my blog! My name is Tina, and I have been raising these beautiful little horses since 1994. Life changed drastically for me in 2009, and to go along with the changes I renamed my farm to something meaningful to me (Enyalien means "In Order to Recall" in Tolkien's Elven language of Quenya), am working with a dear friend on redoing my website, and...am starting a blog. If you'd like to keep up with my thoughts or my herd, here is the place to do so. I will post updates, information, foaling chronicles, training bits, showing bits as I get back into the ring, fun stuff, etc. Enjoy!
