Chamfron Kahlua at polo

Dearest Pookie waiting patiently for chukkas to start.  

European Stone Stacking

Glorious warm Easter Sunday watching the European Stone Stacking competition at Eye Cave Beach in Dunbar.  My small stab at stacking is the last photo, and to be fair it was nearer three minutes than three hours!

Chamfron Paloma - 7 years old

Zak suggested she should have a cake and helped blow out her birthday candles.

Thugs and Pugs

Glorious weekend forecast so all the rugs came off.  The Shetlands were keen to play with the rugs, I warned them "this will not end well" and right enough soon Victor was blindfolded and lightly throttled by the fillet string.  It didn't stop him trying to wrap Jack up like a Burrito two minutes later, be careful what you wish for boys!  I then acquired a little friend, one of the nicest fittest Pugs I have ever met, he helped bring the horses in and started to come hacking with me but it became apparent his road sense was a little vague and so the neighbours offered to pug-sit until an owner turned up.

Chamfron Marco Polo

Happily settled with the Yon family, so nice to see him looking well and enjoying life as a gelding.

Riding away nicely

Floss (Arrayan Numa x Chamfron Compostela) is now backed and riding away nicely at Jodie Loveday Equestrian.

Oh Hello!

Armed with a jug full of peanuts I came bimbling around the corner and was a little taken aback to be met by a badger at the top of the stairs.  We stood and looked at each other for a moment and I had a small curse that both the cameras that live in the car are currently on the coffee table at home.  The badger then went down the stairs and under the decking so I put some peanuts out and watched it for a good fifteen minutes, sitting about ten foot away.  It will be interesting to see what is on that trail camera tomorrow.  The badger is lame on its near fore which is presumably why it is coming in in daylight and avoiding the others, hopefully it will recover with the help of some easy access food.
