Chamfron Morello Away

Our lovely spotty yearling Morello has started his journey to Devon today.  He has been sold to Rosena Edge and will be going showing so I'm looking forward to lots of photos of him out and about this summer.

Backed...

More Chamfrons starting out under saddle - Chamfron Firefly owned by Rebecca Crump, Chamfron Wakizashi owned by Victoria Scott and Chamfron Snow Goose owned by Chantelle Allanson, lovely to see.

Longtown Poultry Auction

No fox issues since Christmas so time to re stock the chicken shed with a trip to Longtown poultry auction.  Might of gone a wee bit wild... again...

We have a pair of Gold Laced Orpington hens, a trio of Silver Spangled Hamburg hens, a quartet of Salmon Faverolles, two Silkie cross cluckers, a Light Sussex and a crime against nature!  If there is an odd hybrid at public auction it will tend to come home with us (much to Marks joy) so please meet our first Guin - a Guinea Fowl x Chicken, the first one I have ever seen.  My "featherstock agent" was more than thrilled to be seen bidding on such a quality creature!

WES News Article

Issue 78 of the Western Equestrian Society's newsletter featured an article written by Kayreen Jones about Mark breaking in her Quarter Horse filly last summer.  

Two almost dry days...

... in a row.  Pest control and Head of Security have been enjoying the sun, though it would be fair to say that Silks just bimbles about in a senile but cheery way these days.  The mares are looking well, no sign of anyone bagging up but Bridget is the first due in just over a months time.  Fatima is, as normal a wide load and appreciates a good itch of the places she can no longer reach.

Chamfron By Dand - Rising six

His first trip out cross country schooling at Lindores yesterday - happily doing steps, ditches and drops into water.  Thanks to Tracy for taking the photos of Rebecca and letting me use them.

Chamfron Chipita - Rising five

Some lovely photos of Chipita owned by Linda Dykes and being schooled by Dawn Patrick.
