As we celebrate Memorial Day with a picnic, good food, friends and family, lets not forget the men and women who died making it all possible.
My gang of four, all of them grabbing a bite to eat on the way to the big pasture. It has been a crazy time with babies, weather and heat cycles. Heat cycles in the weather and in our open mare Amee. We got her an ultrasound to make sure that all was well with her female parts. We got the green light to move towards breeding her.
So, this handsome redhead came to visit. I am pleased to say that their honeymoon went well. They are now just enjoying vacation time as the calendar days count down to 21. Once we know that Amee is settled and in foal, this redheaded stranger will be headed back home. His name is Orchard Hill Red Blaze
Hopefully, we will see another Suffolk Punch baby here on the farm next April.

I saw your new red horses yesterday when I drove past.
Will you be selling the babies?
Thank you, yes he is a handsome guy. He is very well behaved and broke to work. I am keeping him and Amee together. She is now bred. They graze and keep each other company. No fighting, no squealing and no nonsense. He will vacation with us for about 3 weeks, then go home.
