HorseFlix
Ok, so I admit I’ve been sort of M.I.A. from my blog the last few days, but I have a very good excuse! I’ve spent the weekend (my weekend counts a 1/2 day saturday thru monday since I hold hours at my shop on saturday from 10-4 and I’m closed sunday and monday) at my family’s new horse farm, Iron Horse Farm. Unfortunately it rained all weekend so while our plan was to finish the fence building we instead hung fixtures and worked on electrical stuff.
But anyway – on to the real topic of this post, HorseFlix. I stumbled across this website that is very very intriguing. Apparently it is very similar to the popular Netflix, which my husband and I use to the fullest as we are huge movie buffs, but instead you can rent horse movies and instructional dvds. The website says plans start at $9.99 a month and it looks like you have 21 days to keep and watch the movie before it needs to be mailed back. This is a neat idea if like me you are a visual learner and really enjoy watching instructional dvds on horse training. As someone mentioned in a blog I came across:
Most training and instructional DVDs cost big bucks and it’s often hard to know before hand if you’re going to end up liking it or not (much less whether you’re going to want to watch it multiple times). I usually end up not buying DVDs that I’d like to watch just because I’m unwilling to invest $50 in a DVD that I might not even end up liking.
The other neat thing is that I found lots of the parelli videos on there – and I personally know how much those parelli dvds can cost, renting them would be much more cost effective. And if you need to go back and review something simply just rent the video again. I might just have to try out horsefilix, perhaps I could get a few friends to go in on it and we can all have “horse movie nights” – maybe I’ll even get my local pony club involved. I just might have to hid this from my husband though, he probably won’t like the idea that I’m taking up valuable netflix time for horse videos. 🙂

A place to call home
The new Iron Horse Farm website is up and running! I made many changes to it last night (with more to come today). Iron Horse Farm is the currently under-construction farm that the ponies will reside at in mid-may.
the new website of Iron Horse Farm
Iron Horse Farm is privately owned by my parents, Anne and Paul, and it has been a family dream for over 20 years now. We are all very excited for this move, and with it will bring many exciting opportunities. Our 150′ x 280′ ring will be one of the largest riding arenas for mounted games in our area. In the future we hope to hold practices and competitions with even the ability to rent the ring to interested parties for clinics and events. If you have any questions please contact us through our website.
