Keeping Mark busy...

Loads of horses to work, Arrayan and Pitufa are ticking over.

Malambo has come in for breaking, Mark did sit on him as a two year old but he still thought he'd have a good bounce and snort about being tacked up today.

A Few Dollars More (now called Spotless) arrived on Saturday and is now walking and trotting quietly (if a little lazily) in the pen.  She has been here before both as a foal at foot when her dam was visiting Arrayan and then as a two year old to sell so its nice to see her grown up and looking well.

The Yearlings...

Yolanda and Kahlua playing with Pitufa on a rather dark and drizzly night!

Birdwatching...

On the reserve this afternoon!

Chamfron Angel Dust - 26 Months Old

Another day in paradise...?

When you get a summer like this one, this place isn't too shabby!!  

Common Lizards!

A sign we've had a much better summer than last year when I didn't see any out and about!

Just out snapping...

Lots of lazing about...

Chamfron Sakura - 15 Months Old

Chamfron By Dand - 5 Years Old.

Chamfron By Dand out jumping with his owner Rebecca, winning the 2ft class and second in the 2ft 3 at Balbeggie show today.

Fat Pony Chukkas

We loaded up in the pissing rain, we drove up in the pissing rain (many "are we playing" texts flying back and forth), we arrived in the pissing rain and then... the sun came out and we were able to play "Fat Pony Chukkas" at Stewarton Polo club in the glorious sunshine.  Super scenic pitch with the Forth Rail and Road bridges in the background, good company and the ponies went well.  Brilliant!
