The Rogers brought over Abigail to see the new babies.  Notice the pink cowboy boots.  Abigail loves the horses, but I’m sure you can’t tell that!

Nadja is the latest arrival to Spur Acres!

Netieva blessed us with a foal Tuesday, April 7th, in the morning around 4 am. I noticed the night before that she had wax and knew that she would be foaling soon. When I got up in the morning I had a feeling that she had foaled. I had this feeling as we were planning to put a foal alert on her since this was her first. At about 4:30 - 4:45 I was headed out to the barn and as I got closer I heard the all to familiar sound of a mare squealing. Sure enough, there was a little filly chasing Netieva around the pen trying to eat. Netieva didn’t know what to think about this strange creature. We had to hold one leg up on Netieva to get her to allow the foal to eat. After a while Netieva figured it out and we were off to the races. So far so good.

New Arrival to Spur Acres

Noz

After a rough winter we finally have some good news to report. Hazel had a nice little stud colt on March 23rd. We named him after his father, Necho. His name is Nosternecho – Our Necho. His barn name is Noz.
