Sundance Farm

We have some new friends who live just north of Hutchinson.  They own and operate Sundance Farm and have about 75 horses and ponies.  We got to go to their farm a few weeks ago and learn all about their horses and ponies. 

(On a side note, I have to tell you how much I love horses... My cousin Mendi helped me learn to love these amazing animals.  They are beautiful, powerful, and loving animals.  Thank you Mendi for all the time you spent with me and horses!)
Keith and Stephanie have a real passion for all of their animals.  Each horse or pony has a story of how they came to live on the farm, the wagons they pull, escaping their pens, noises they make, illnesses and medical emergencies, who gets along with who, and human lives they've each touched.
The girls both loved looking at the ponies, feeding them, and petting them.  They each got to sit on the back of the smallest pony there.  Her name is Dumpling.  Sarah especially liked a little white pony named Spirit.  Spirit seemed to like Sarah too!  Spirit followed Sarah all along the fence line and loved when Sarah would feed her and pet her.
Eric and I enjoyed our time with our new friends.  They were kind and welcoming, walking around with us to each pen or field so that we could meet all of their animals.  Eric even got to help move some of the horses (an Arabian and a Clydesdale)  around to their pens for the night.
