Anyway, the last few months have been pretty good here (when it wasn't raining and/or snowing that is!) The kids have all been frantically trying to get as much schooling done between showers and we're seeing improvements all round!
We got a new arrival this week courtesy of our friends down south at Thunder Horse Stables! Lisa went down to visit her parents in Nottingham over the Easter holiday and brought her back on the way home.
She's called Agrimony (named after a lovely little yellow bog plant) and is one of the nicest looking Highlands we've ever seen.
She was originally being used for conservation grazing at a National Trust property but ended up being stolen, found and eventually re-homed at THS as she wouldn't settle back into her original herd. They did a lot of groundwork with her so she leads perfectly in hand but they didn't back her or start her with any other tack so I reckon that'll give me and Niko something to do over the summer. She's really quiet and affectionate so I think she'll take to riding school life very well indeed.
I'll do my best to be more active on here - if I'm not I think Lisa'll throw things at me...
- David.
