I just wish I was closer as it is a two hour one-way drive! Worth it though, even for just a trail ride haha!

So scary, but thankfully it was a tiny amount of pellets and she cleared it herself. I have fed alfalfa pellets to my own horses a lot over the years to help with weight, but I guess none of them have been a hoover like Miss Ellie!

Because of this, it is super strange to me to not know the full back story on every horse LOL! ;-)Clover Ledge Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03980479474173795906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017666900837094302.post-79118158511441146902017-11-01T07:41:37.928-04:002017-11-01T07:41:37.928-04:00oh my i am so jealous you not only have one of the...oh my i am so jealous you not only have one of the kennebecs but you got to ride with them too :) Very cool.
