It Was a Joy Full Day

Welcome to our world, Riceland Meadows “Joy”! This little girl was born yesterday afternoon. We waited on her for a while, but she was worth the wait! Her momma Abby, was very happy to meet her too. We struggled to name her, because we had so many choices, one of which was “Patience”. It took a lot of that while we waited. First I had her due date wrong by a month. Then mom went almost to weeks beyond that day! I carefully watched and we all waited, finally Joy picked yesterday for her debut.

Hank is now a proud papa with his first baby on the ground. We are happy with his efforts. We have another Hank baby due in a few days and hopefully two more in the early summer. We look forward to meeting the coming foals.

We will be posting more baby pictures in the coming days and weeks. Farm work continues with a few projects wrapping up and a few more about to start. Training continues too, but everything pauses when the babies come!

    And pause, it should. The miracle of a newborn is truly a signal that life will go on. A bumpy road is a sign that there IS a road. If everything was smooth and easy; human nature would not be able to handle adversity. Farmers understand this.

        If more people understood some of the things that Farmers understand; this would be a whole lot better world to live on.
