Sheep Shearing

Recently it was Shearing Day at the farm! This was Pippin and Chloe's first shearing so it was quite the event here! The lady who sheared them was extremely nice and did a fantastic job. Thankfully, Pippin and Chloe tolerated being sheared pretty well. They look so funny now without their wool! The wool is beautiful (especially Pippin's) and I can't wait to wash it and start crafting with it! There are so many projects I'm looking forward to trying. I can't wait to start spinning, dying, felting, and eventually crocheting the fleeces. Here are some pictures from Sheep Shearing Day at Purple Feather Farm:

Alf

Alf is an adorable little 2 year old chestnut gelding. He's currently only about 13 hands or so. I can't wait to start working with him. He is very sweet, willing and smart! I'll be using the Parelli Natural Horsemanship methods focusing only on ground work for now because he is too young to be ridden yet. I will keep you posted on his progress.

Alf is also available for adoption. For more info about the Georgia Equine Rescue League and adopting Alf check out their website: Here.
