April 27th - Achille Agway Open House, Keene NH. Starts @ 10:00am. Meet Newfoundland Ponies. Watch a Newfoundland pony demonstrate how useful they are for working around the farm or homestead, and how easy to handle.
May 16th - They Say It's Your Birthday! Highland Snow Storm is pregnant! Her baby's estimated birthday is May 16th but the actual birth date can vary. Her foal will be one of less than 50 in the USA. Did you know that an equine's gestation period is 2 weeks short of a year but can vary a month either way and still be full term? It's true. That means we are on foal watch soon. Is Misty pregnant too? Vet shy (and very fearful of needles) she did not cooperate for an ultrasound. Not wishing to stress her, we decided to wait and see...she is certainly looking a bit pudgy.
May 25th - Open Barn Day - Join us for this annual event. We have fun activities planned, and with any luck we will have a foal or two to see! Details coming soon...
