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!

Hello! Well wow...the last couple of months have been crazy, but in many ways, crazy good. Which is a definite plus!

Moving in itself has always been crazy. This one provided me with a few new experiences. I have not had a trailer for the last 3 yrs, and even if I did, do not have a vehicle I could haul with. That said, I had 13 minis to get moved, and my friend Katrin who was going to volunteer her truck and trailer suddenly found herself minus said truck when hubby took it to work one day and came home without it *shakes head* Traded it in =) So, how does one move 13 minis 22 miles?

Well, it turns out, in the back of one's minivan! Except one trip made with Fancy and Sunrise, and Silk in Wendi's new trailer, the rest came by minivan....and was that interesting. For one thing, it was neat to see again how much my horses trust me-not one hesitated to jump up in there more than a minute. And then, to see how very much they LOVED it! They were absolutely entranced by the views out the back windows, and now I have to be careful with 2 of them esp, who will happily climb into the 'horse trailer' and look at me with that 'I want to go for a ride, mom!' look. Minis...life is never dull with them! Sonata even decided to come up into the middle row of seats and 'sit' in one of them...if I can get that photo on my phone to not be so dark, I will post it. Front legs on floor, butt and back legs in the seat, and her head hanging over my shoulder watching...*smiles*

And people wonder what one does with minis or what purpose they serve?! In this case, they gave me a good laugh and a warm fuzzy I will probably never forget!
