Welcome to Fern Valley

Here in central Alberta prime farm country,my husband Martin and I work together raising beef cattle and Appaloosa horses. Fern valley appaloosas have long been known for their quality of temperament conformation and color.I have recently rediscovered a love of writing and have published 2 collections of poetry. "Telling Tails" and Tails Trails and Campfire stories" . I look forward to a future spreading my wings as an author and as a horse woman .

Colts are ...

 cute 
 curious
 Careless

carefree
 content 
 just kinda cool to have around 
and definitely 
If 
get 
just
 the 
right
 shot 
in the
 right 
moment


Calender materials too 

These are from Saturday , Harley's first  big day out on grass. Yes is is my front yard, and yes it was a supervised outing , luckily as he was  pretty determined to try the steps . 
It went very well, until momma Jewel caught sight of her reflection in the big picture window. Initially she looked as if to say , "Dang that is one gorgeous horse in the mirror, then it turned to "are you looking at MY BABY!!!" at which point we  exited the area! . 
She will be on a couple hours turnout a day with Harley  for now  since as you see she is not in any way hurting for groceries. This is a good opportunity to work with him and get her back into  condition as well.
Hope everyone had a great weekend 
Stay safe
