Nearly finished!

Well trailer number one is still a work in progress but the light at the end of the tunnel is now visible!  Firstly the "new floor" (anyone want some garden decking?) was ripped out, the chassis was sanded down and red leaded.

Then the floor was replaced with two layers of 18mm marine ply that were painted with bitumen and finally topped with Quattro rubber... (we had some fun shaping that!!)

Then the trailer was painted inside and out, making it a much smarter rig all round and nice and light inside.


Sadly the "I love my pony" sticker was lost in the renovation!  The new partition is made and is in the process of being painted and then this trailer will be on Ebay, so if anyone is looking for a three horse trailer for polo or hunting (beat the credit crunch, flog the wagon!!), give us a shout!

Cannibal Criollo!

Colin at five weeks old.





JR about eleven weeks old.

Looking like he's going grey and much larger than when we dropped him off at Rachan Stud at the end of June!

Anyone got any gopher wood?

Yes I haven't blogged much despite having things to blog (Moo and JR coming home, JR being the size of an elephant and grey...!) thats because we've been busy building an ark.





Just incase anyone is wondering - No I REALY don't want to know how lovely the weather is with you - We are on the edge...!!!

Busy few days!!

Another day, another trailer!  This time we shot down country to pick up a Sinclair three horse. On the way home we stopped off and stayed at Sian and Sebastian's and got to meet Lucas for the first time.

Beautiful weather in the morning so chukkas were very civilised.  Mark rode the fabulous Fatima.

As always lots more photos here! - "Chukka's"

Then Mark sat on the horses that are for sale on the yard.  First up, big horse Ruby.  Very weird to see Mark look "small" on something!!

Then Andrew's horse Max. 

Then back up the road and into the monsoon.....

I caught one....

I caught my very first fish... all be it out of Sebastian's lake which probably has more fish in it than water!

Good size though huh?!!!
