Well, Token’s head shaking has not gone away. In fact, it sounds like it has gotten worse. Token will be coming home next week. After so long hard thought, it is time to retire Token from our lesson program here at T-Jay Farms. We will be looking to place Token in a wonderful home. On the upside, this will put an opening into our program so we will be hitting the road for a pony to fill Token’s shoes - and those are some big shoes to fill!
June 10, 2009
Great lesson Emily Rose!!!! Keep up the good work!
June 3, 2009
Token has gone to Butterfly Dreams to be a Hippo Therapy pony. We will miss you Token but you will make a lot of little kids very happy! Don’t worry, she isn’t gone forever. Token may just need a change of pace and hopefully her head shaking will go away. Fingers crossed.

Hopefully they will come back soon. Bad news…..The bush hog is jammed. The fields are looking really green. Unfortunately the rain has not only made the grass grow, but the weeds as well. Hopefully we will have it taken care of this week!

Welcome Noodle! Noodle is a Morgan and is being boardered here. He came all the way from Washington state. Right now Noodle will be staying in quarentine in the round pen. We want to make sure is free of all communicable diseases before he is turned out with the other horses. If you see Noodle, please do not touch or pet him. He will be out of quarentine on July 31. Horses that have been transported across the country have a high risk of being exposed to pathogens so that is why we are being extra cautious. Noodle’s stall is the one next to the tack room. For the time being his stall is closed to other horses and the round pen is also closed.
July 1, 2008
We had a Guinea sighting today. There were four pecking in the pasture. Becky says that she has one Guinea still lingering at her place.
June 27, 2008
The hounds were really making a fuss this morning because they had treed several tresspassers. Low and behold, the five missing Guineas had returned and were quickly on their merry way again to inhabit the tantalizing woodlands of downtown Lexington.
June 26, 2008
Just heard from Nick’s owner, Becky, that a flock of Guineas showed up at her place. Unfortunately there are only five left. Glad to hear that the rest of them are still together.
