A cold snap following a snow storm this past week was some of the worst winter weather we've experienced in Maryland so far this year. And on one of the coldest nights, a little filly decided it was her time to be born. After drying her off she was still shivering even though she was in a snug barn - the weather was just not cooperating. Owner Kris Morris of Fat Chance Farm, called us with approximate measurements of center of chest to center of tail and asked i …

Hi! It's me, Posey. I'm a 9 month old Welsh Section B filly and I just got my first turnout! My full name is Rosehaven Pocketful of Posies but everybody calls me Posey. It got really cold and rainy and there was even some white stuff mixed in. So my owner put a new Rhino wug on me and it keeps me nice and dry and warm. Now I'm just like the big ponies in my paddock - my older sister Slipper and my good friend Swyn. They both have Horseware turnouts on too. The wugs …

Two Rosehaven ponies, Rain Belle and Minuet, are heading south for warmer weather! They're lucky to be missing the frigid, windy conditions that have descended upon Maryland. They both have 5" pony standing bandages over Wilkers pillow wraps - a very traditional and safe way to wrap your ponies legs for traveling. Since Minuet is body clipped, she's wearing a Baker plaid dress sheet to ward of the early morning chill. It's the perfect cover for traveling as it …

We recently received this wonderful photo from one of our customers. Six year old Emilia Richard, aboard Champlain's Irish Cream, is showing in her first CHJA Medal Finals held at the Fairfield County Hunt Club in Wetport, CT, August 19 - 21, 2016. What a team they are! Emi probably has many years of riding ponies ahead of her and she's off to a great start. We recently helped them find a show pad to fit her 14" short flap saddle. Champlain's Irish Cream is …

Rosehaven Merlin went to his first hunter breeding show last weekend. He's a Welsh Section B yearling and even though he went to one Welsh show this summmer, this was quite a new experience for him! He had a trailer ride, a new stall and got to see lots of horses and ponies. His mane and tail were braided for the first time. For preparation, he was body clipped and we practiced leading him in a bridle and posing him with his head down and neck stretched out. He has …

We love having visitors to our farm and so do the young ponies! There's just something magnetic about foals and kids. I guess it's that the foals are happy to have someone 'their size'. Recently, KiMani and Victoria, local pony riders, came for a visit and were thrilled to go in the paddock and visit Posey. She's a 7 month old Welsh section B filly and her registered name is Rosehaven Pocketful of Posies. She was named by Ella Doerr after we posted a request for flo …

We love hearing back from our customers, especially when they send pictures! Here's an example of what we receive - obviously one happy kid and one proud dad. This is what makes our day - that smile says it all! …
