Spring Time Baby Goats and Miniature Horses

Posted on March 23, 2010

Can there be anything more precious than new life?  I love going to Stones Edge Farm, especially in the spring time when baby goats are arriving.  And when three new miniature horses have been added to the herd.  One who is going to foal in May.  One who is the most adorable yearling, who looks like a little Fjord.  And one who has the coloring of a Rocky Mountain horse – she is absolutely gorgeous!  But I’m a sucker for long, flowing manes, especially flaxen manes against dark brown.  She has one blue eye, too.

I love where I live.  I am so lucky to have the ocean near by, farm animals on my little plot of earth, and beautiful farms to visit.  Here are some of the beauties at Stones Edge Farm.  If you live near Newcastle, Maine you should make sure you come for Open Farm Day – Sunday July 25th.  It’s a lot of fun and you get to see what I’m talking about first hand.  Lots of horses and goats and Bernese Mountain Dogs, all on a 30 acre spread of rolling pastures.

Are these babies not irresistible or what!!

Meet the new ladies

Yep, a mini Fjord!

Isn’t she just stunning!

I’m in love with this horse.  Okay, I’m in love with all horses!

Here’s the pregnant mare.

And here’s the lucky one who gets to play with them everyday!

The first week in March just ended and for those of us living in Maine, I’d have to say we have been fortunate. Granted the last few days of February brought us near hurricane conditions, creating much damage and inconvenience, but having temperatures edging very close to 60 in March is quite a blessing.

So, what did I do this weekend? I cleaned out my garden on Saturday and on Sunday I visited my friend’s farm, hanging out for over an hour talking and taking pictures. The following images are all about joy and the carefree bliss that is so evident in children and animals.
