Dorey.

New addition to the broodmare band....

meet Dorey, looking a bit wild and wooly (gale force winds, I was struggling to stand up, never mind take photos!!)

Under all the fur, there is a smart little cob, look out for the updated, clean and shorn photos when the weather improves!

'Appy Valentines....

Hound Puppies!!

Once apon a time Sandal and Saviour looked like this - so little, so cute!!

But the girls are all grown up now...

Saviour
and SandalSo today they left to go back to kennels...

Introducing....

Eggburt!

Eggburt lives in the stables, he is put in with any nervous horses Mark has to break, once he has bounced round their feet, done the wall of death round their head and crowed loudly at dawn, they are pretty happy just to get out and be ridden. Hopefully we will be getting Eggburt some girlfriends at the poultry sale at Longtown at the end of the month.

It will snow tomorrow... (you never knew I was a weather girl did you?!)

It will.... because Mule and Lizzie are NAKED!!!

Chuffed to bits with how muley is looking - another week on hols then in for a hair cut, a tail wash and back into work. Yay lean mean riding mule!!!

Lizzie is now 22yo and has only had haylage on the coldest and most miserable of nights. I challenge anyone not to like this little mare!

Millie says "hey tubby, your causing a shadow, move it, I'm tanning"

Digital cameras - what did we do before them!

Silks and I go out to check that Lizzie isn't too hot in her rug....

.... and then sat and watched the cobwebs glistening in the sun!

Bridget looking like a stranded space-hopper in the sun!

(.... and awaiting a haircut!)

Just some more photos....

Hound puppy on the horizon!

Lizzie peering out!

Millie looking rather round!
Mule Ears!!

Quincy's Perk

We don't tidy very often in this house, but when we do it's like Christmas! You find things you'd completely forgotten. I love this photo of me riding Quinton in 2005, I miss riding Quin desperately.
