Then and Now

Our riders think Hybid is a pretty special place…so it’s not uncommon for us to have kids literally grow up at the barn. Here’s some fun “then and now” pictures to show you what we mean! [Want to submit your own? Email a "now" and a "then" to rita@hybidfarm.com]

And a very special Equine story of “then and now”…Amazing Grace:

About: Someone asked me to find a home for the three horses he could not longer keep.  Grace was one of them.  Grace’s condition brought out the best of so many people:

  • Janet, a woman from Harvard, donated money towards her recovery.
  • Our Purina rep Randy Sipkema gave us coupons for grain.
  • Our vet Dr. Fred Nostrant advised us on her care
  • Our Equine dentist Jason Weaver took care of the teeth she had left
  • Our chiropractor, Eino Ketola carefully worked on her
  • And our foot specialist Georgia Barry worked on her feet.

With all this great care from these wonderful and caring people, in addition to the love of our students and a special girl named Margaret, Grace was loved back to health. She is a very grateful and healthy pony now and well on her way to a full recovery.
