Breaking Update - Week One

Blue at the end of his first week, first hack out braving the cattle feeder, the puddles and standing nicely next to the daffodils.

Happy Easter

Blue - Day 5

Trotting nicely on both reins, he's actually quite a busy little chap and seems to be enjoying his work.

Breaking update - Blue

Blue has had a walk and a trot in the outside pen today (day three, we lost a day to truly foul weather).  A very sensible chap though we have to have short sessions as it's tiring being fluffy!

Chamfron Oro Rosa - 11 months old

Everything an Arrayan Numa filly should be, brains and beauty (and just a little extra fluff around the middle!)

Wildlife Camera - February and March

Trail Camera was to become "Owl Cam" in February but that wasn't a huge success and rapidly became crow and pigeon central, we might revisit that later in the year.  Back to the woods we went and everyone is present and correct, pronking deer, sly fox and posing tree rat all captured on camera one.  Camera two is getting some great shots of the badger and will no doubt improve when I resist checking it all the time!

Breaking and Schooling 2015

A few really grim days have meant the fields are back to sludge and we are not quite ready to book in horses for breaking yet but Blue the Dales pony belonging to friends has come over to experience a bit of life.  Yesterday he had his first trip in the trailer and today he has been sat on and was happy to walk round the stable both ways.  Ten and a half tons of wood chip have been put in the outside pen and we quickly swung from "oooo that's a big wagon" to "ahhhh not a huge pile of chips" so I suspect we will need more once it is all raked out.  Plodding on getting organised for the season ahead we just need the rain to stop!
