Oops! Sometimes it happens, we make a mistake. For the crossword puzzle in our Spring ’25 issue, 11 Down should be Wesley Dennis, not Dennis Wesley.

Stop by Round Two Consignment and pick up the latest copy of The Midwest Equestrian magazine. Take the time and do some shopping, lots of treats, stuffed animals, saddles, and more!

Our Spring issue of The Midwest Equestrian horse magazine is out and about. It seems yellow is the color of choice this season!

The Magazine is at Most Feed and The Riding Store, so far……

Spring is always associated with new beginnings, birth, and re-birth. From baby calves to tiny kittens, we are filled with fresh sights and aromatic smells. It is a time like this that makes me reflect more on the wonders of nature. Sometimes I feel like an outlier in all of this beauty. I want to blend into the landscape like the birds and the bees, bumble and all.

And I am going to make that happen. We planted 25 (actually 24, one blew away) plants from the Boone County Soil and Conservation District, as we begin to make the property more like a Prairie than a property. A land that the horses can walk through and munch a bit here and there, while the birds swirl around them and grab a fly or two.

Here are a few pictures, just after the planting.

Notice the use of our mulch – aka manure!
