Go, Spring, Go! 🌞🌻🫡 NEC is just too beautiful to keep to ourselves!
The horses and pastures are doing great as we continue to make improvements.
The new fencing has weathered enough and painting is in progress. Check out the pictures.
Power to the north end of the property is also in progress. This will provide steady power to the North Shed, various recepticals along the middle road (maybe night lights), and a possible electric gate(s). NOVEC is trimming the trees back for a discreet power line hidden along the tree line. And some poles erected.
While my "Jukebox Aviator" isn't actually that cool, Paula is a "Proud Catastrophe" and I shouldn't really comment beyond this to keep the weekend civil 😃

To accomodate even more NOVA Equine Fitness Center horses, we've moved ahead plans to fence the southeast corner. Now even more rehab/reconditioning/fitness boarded horses have access to green pastures during their stay. Besides a good workout, horses get some sunshine R&R and spa-like experience.
Ahhhhhh heavenly!
Call to reserve a "Get Fit & Stay" Package of any duration.
All the more reason to stay fit and pain-free. Call or text for a fitness session. 703 505 2213 or emai info at novaeqc.comDo you know how many joints and articulation (moving) points are in the equine back? Hint, it is WAY more than the legs.
Each thorasic vertebra has 2 intervertebral disks, 4 articular facets, 2 costo-transverse, 4 costo-vetebral. Then the ribs go down to become directly or indirectly attached to the (7-8) stenebra.
Each lumbar vertebra has 2 intervertebral disks, 4 articular facets, and 4 inter-transverse joints.
The intersection between L6 and S1 has 5 articulation points alone!
After the lumbar-sacral intersection, the sacrum has 3 further articulation points: the 2 sacroiliac and 1 sacrocaudal
That is well over 220 articulation (moving) points! (NOT including cervical)
ANY of these can be injured, have arthritis or other chronic changes. These injuries are compounded by the fact that the spine works as an interconnected chain. T6 articulates with T5 and T7. The ribs, muscles and ligaments all interconnect as well. This means you cannot solely have a T6 issue. If T6 becomes injured it affects the chain around it and will continue to spiral out.
Properly addressing these problems, prevents long term effects in training, showing, and the every day life of your beloved equine partner! Next up: The biomechanics behind the back.

In Icelandic mythology, Loki the Trickster god, once became a breeding mare to lure away a giant's stallion and so prevent the giant from winning the hand of Freyja, goddess of beauty. The result of that union was Sleipnir, the supreme god Odin's eight-legged steed.
The Icelandic Horse has a thousand year history. Purebred since the 10th century, the Icelandic Horse is renowned for being hardy, athletic, independent, spirited, friendly, adaptable, and sure-footed, with five natural gaits. These are the Walk, Trot, Canter, Tölt, and Pace. Averaging 13 to 14 hands tall, the Icelandic Horse is a versatile family riding horse, bred to carry adults at a fast pleasing gait over long distances.
It is distinctive for its thick and often double-sided mane and long tail, and remarkable for its wide range of colors. In addition to formal horse shows and competitions, Icelandic Horses are widely used for cross-country rides and long-distance trekking. They have also competed in dressage, jumping, and endurance races.
A longer driveway: We've extended the drive-in entrance at the North gate to about a 190'. Now there's a way to pull off of Route 15 safely - enough for a couple large horse trailer rigs. Eventually we will get an electric gate here.
We've set out 12 picnic tables around the property. Various places to sit and enjoy a restful moment. Chill. Enjoy.
The 8 frost-free automatic waterers are installed. Every outside grass pasture has access. Both the horses and horse care team are super happy.
And it springtime on the farm so we had to put some pictures in here. ... See MoreSee Less
Lovely farm facility. A little question - where did you find the handy hook that holds the bucket over the fence rail (photo #16)?
Great job on the property and with your business. I've been watching your steady improvements since Leslie Hood had Diamond there last winter. TEVA is becoming a world class center for optimum horse health.
Looks wonderful, you keep making great improvements to the farm
