Champion Grows Up

This is Champion. We hope it is a hen. Champion is one of the new (of many) feathered friends we have at Nickel-O. Wilson really likes to keep an eye on the birds!

Nickel-O Summer 2010

It's been awhile since I've said howdy- summer is flying by and I don't want it to end! After another great week of Summer Riding Program the staff relaxes, either in the saddle or bareback. I don't want summer to end!

Which way is the wind blowing?

I believe the wind is blowing out the winter weather and bring us all into spring. This same wind took Misty up to Horse Heaven on Friday February 19th. She was a true and elegant pony, we will all miss her, but no doubt she is giving pony rides up in Heaven as we speak, along with eating all the green grass she wants!

Here's looking at you kid!

It was such a sunny day today At Nickel-O -not too much of this crazy snow still hanging around so I was feeling like a bold mini horse. So bold in fact that I put on a saddle and did some riding with a rider on my back. I am just growing up aren't I?!

Linguini and Allison

Enjoying the sun together at the last clinic. Our next Nickel-O Clinic will be with Ken Fairfax, on March 14th. It will be $50.00 per horse-I hope to see you all there! Contact the farm, and sign up on the white board if you can make it!

Here's the invitation

Did you know you could check out the nickelo neigh blog too? It has information all about Nickel-O.

Kramer


I think Kramer looks much better in this shirt than Tracy does!

Styling Kramer

Everyone says this shirt was made for me, but I think Kramer looks mighty fine in it too!

You might know someone in this photograph!

O.K. somewhere in this old photo is a Nickel-O teacher. I could probably give you a million hints, but lets see how you do. She is also the author of this blog. See if you can find Tracy!

This is Adam





Adam is growing up and behaving himself (I hope!) He likes to jump, and I am happy to stay on the ground. Now if Hokey Pokey wants to jump then I'll just have to find a smaller rider- do you think it's possible to jump Hokey?!

Good old summertime

Well actually this was technically Autumn but all the same, it's for these moments that we are practicing in this slushy winter time! It will all be worth it soon! Everyday is a bit longer and brighter!

Buddy....

Buddy is all business- a true professional standing square and ready to jog off...sometimes he just doesn't want to jog, but I bet Sam can get him to!

Patience

Every day the sun is hanging around for just a few minutes longer. It wont be long before we are riding!

What kind of horse?!

No silly-I'm no horse! I'm a cow- I live upstate near Lake Placid on Moon Valley Farms. But I visited West Nyack awhile ago.

K.C. Secret

K.C. being dropped off at her retirement home- (we should be so lucky). She is living large with a herd of compatible horses at Reyers Equine Retirement Farm. Look it up-it's a fantastic place. They are always looking for sponsors, and K.C. gave so much to all of us. I know she is very happy there but I bet she misses Nickel-O!

Follow the leader

Is this a zig zag zig? Or a zag zig zag? Let's ask Jasper- he knows!

Rosemary and Lisa

Remember folks-the woman in the green shirt is a professional! It's obvious.

Little Joe

Little Joe is patiently waiting for better weather, but he is enjoying all the love and attention he deserves this winter.

Do me a favor.....

Let's keep my whereabouts a secret from Wilson, he has developed a taste for feathers. I think he just wants to help me and my feathered friends get around without using our own little chicken legs. What a thoughtful puppy.

Support Staff

Sometimes laughter is the best medicine. Here's Lisa reacting to Jacks roll before his jumping class!

Rachel and Jack

Back from jumping, and rolling. Or was that rolling then jumping? It's a good thing Rachel has a sense of humor, and the guts to continue after Jack decided to roll during the courtesy circle.

Elmer

Elmer and Hokey Pokey are about the same height-but Elmer has a better beard. How about those nails?

Practicing Showmanship

With the weather being so mild, it was a great day to go out and work with the horses. Weather pending we will be at it again this upcoming Saturday, January 17th. Hope to see you then.

A blast from the past

Who can name the horse and the rider? Anyone?

Tracer enjoying the sun

Soaking in the rays-awaiting my instructions, life is good.

Okie loves winter!

Boy this weather makes me wanna dance!

The sun was joining us

We get going mighty early to show. The sun has to catch up with us.

Here's the new guy

This is Wilson. He's still a pup.

Peek-a-boo

I see the world from my turnout, I don't miss a hoof beat!

Obleee

This is Obleee, handsome isn't he?

Splash joined the fun

This time I brought my buddy Splash along to meet Santa- he was a very good mini donkey this year.

So many friends to introduce you to

There are feathered and furry friends I hang out with all day long where I live.

Us Palominos have to stick together!

Some of my old buddies

Buster, Keely, Jasper and Kipper Kay say Howdy, I have made new friends too.

Recently from my turnout...

The sun was shining so we thought we'd work on ground manners this past weekend.

Santa I've Been A Good Mini
