Time flies! It’s time to wean Baby Kruze. He’s a little sad to leave his momma, but this guy is actually handling it very well. He’s very slowly making new friends to hang out with and learn from.

These pictures are from a few days old to today. Crazy how much they can change in a short amount of time!

We have big expectations for baby Kruze, and we are so thankful for all the support and love it took to have this little guy here. 🫶🏼

Enjoying pasture time. Thankfully, we have been able to set up more pasture lots to be able to rotationally multi-species graze. Multi-species grazing allows us to graze fields to their fullest potential for both the health of our animals and the health of our pastures.

The farms brought down a couple horses for the “Rocking Red, White, and Blue” event on the Potomac State College quad!

Roper and Bailey were greeted by a lot of students! The horses enjoyed all the student interaction!

A big thank you to our motor-pool staff for always making sure our fleet of farm trucks and trailers are always ready to go from preventative maintenance, diagnostic work, routine inspections, and extra over sight of these trucks.

There are more people than just our farm staff that play a role on our farm even if they aren’t necessarily assigned to the farm. It’s important to us to make sure they know we appreciate them.

Again, big thank you to our motor-pool guys for making sure we are taken care of!

Late introduction of one of our newer lease boys. This is Lady’s Golden Roper known more affectionately as Roper around here. With increase of student interest in cow working, roping, ranch events and riding in general, we needed another steady eddy more season in those topics around here. However, Roper is versed in more than just being ranchy.

Pretty cool fact about Roper, his sire came off of the Bob Evan’s Hidden Valley Ranch. The same ranch that gave us the generous donation of horses that started our Equine program in 2003.

✨The farm is so thankful to add another gold star to the herd. ✨We are gearing up for another awesome semester here on the farm! ✨

It was farrier day here at the barn. Our boy, Kruze, got his first trim! Our farrier made so many positive comments about how Kruze handled his first trim, mentioning there are older horses he sees that aren’t nearly as well behaved as Kruze.

Baby Kruze can:
✅ lead from both sides
✅ can stand tied
✅ loads AND backs off a trailer
✅ fly sprays
✅ trots in hand
✅ neck flexes
✅ stands quietly for the farrier
✅ disengage his hindquarters
✅ drop his head to take the halter on and off
✅ stands for a bath
✅ crosses wooden bridges and tarps
✅ not afraid of goats

Making sure Kruze was handled from the time he was born has been so fundamental in Kruze’s handling. Kruze being here has been an exciting experience for our students as they all have helped bring his development along, and they will continue to do so. Kruze has been set up to have a successful role with us. We are excited for the future he will have here and the opportunities he can provide for our students!

💛🐴💙 Stay tuned! We got some things coming your way! 💛🐴💙

Little flashback to when a group of our students rounded up and moved our PSC cattle herd. This is one way we collaborate our equine and cattle farm. Majority of PSC owned horses are cowbred(Bob Evans horses), meaning they naturally have “cow sense”. Moving cattle with horses is known to be less stressful for cattle.

Getting our horses out of the arena and in real life situations such as this has provided our students and horses valuable experiences! Students learn how to read cattle, work on stockmanship and horsemanship, navigate cattle through gates, creeks, tight alleyways, students get to use advanced horse maneuvers to open gates off horse back, push cattle, navigate horses in a way that is responsive, efficient, and effective in a timely fashion for the best and easiest way to guide cattle in the intended direction, learn to be forward thinking, and so much more! Horses get to break up their time in the arena and take a break from barn. This teaches horses how to hold themselves while crossing different terrain, going up and down hills, crossing water, rate cattle, be exposed to a new environment, and new experiences.
We also use this time to make notes about fencing conditions, pasture management, cattle health and note seen wildlife.

This is always requested by our students and we are happy we can provide this experience for them! Huge thank you to Charlie Rice and Ray Stump for helping out and educating our students on cattle work with horses!
