      Talk to Charlie, he’ll even send you a message in return.     It’s all over, folks!  Our season ended yesterday, December 18th, 4:o’clock PM at the tree farm.  With the bookings finished for 2011, we headed out to a Christmas party and started our vacation.   Sincere thanks to John and [...]

While we know it isn’t much like Christmas, we enjoyed that the weather held on the morning of Dec. 16th.  We had 70+ little riders from the Hatch House Montessori school to get their christmas tree and pony rides.  Nobody froze and the kids were really good.  The wee ones are so darn cute!

So, poor Tawney has led a lonely life, as so many stallions do.  I think it’s been some time since he has seen and associated with his own kind.  Sooo, . . .  I’ve been introducing him to the gelding herd, one to one, in the same paddock.   This has been going well and he’s now [...]

Already looking forward to a B-Day party. January 21st. A 7th birthday in Port Perry. Farmer’s Almanac calls for a clear day!

Today’s rain caused a shift in our plans.  Montessori school pony rides and Christmas tree excursion was delayed until tomorrow.  Go away rain!!

Next weekend folks!  December 17-18.  Last weekend before Christmas is our last weekend at the Christmas Tree Farm.  Hot chocolate, hot cider, candy canes, cookies, AND getting your Christmas tree. AND don’t forget to plan for your Pony Rides too!  Charlie himself will be there again, and you might even get your picture taken with [...]

Had a very successful weekend at the Tree farm on the 10th and 11th of December.  Lots of Christmas trees headed home for the holidays and lots of kids enjoying pony rides too.  Wind was cold but at least there was no rain. 

Watch for lots of new photos to come of Tawney, Tori, Maggie and all the ‘boys’.  Whiskey & our Mr. Fields too!  To be published on “Our Family” page soon!  

Wow!  That was fun!  Gave 80 rides to kids from the Port Perry Montessori School, Wednesday, Dec. 7 at the Blackstock Christmas Tree farm.  80 kids in less than 2 hours!  Ponies amazed themselves!
