Snow Day!

The snow is with us once again which means that every man and his dog is wrapped up as warm as is humanly possible - and that includes the ponies!

The kids were sent out to make sure everyone was snug and cosy in the field but I think some people got a little distracted!

 

We had to bring Merry in as he'd somehow been turned out in his stable rug and then rolled so he had to be dried off and re-rugged in more appropriate outdoor wear before we could put him out again!

Mhairi and Andrea took Pirate and Fred out for a quick hack around the top fields before the snow got too deep to go out in. Fred came back with half his feather frozen solid but he didn't seem to notice, daft horse.

Mhairi recorded a little bit of video of the ride - it's not longer because immediately after shooting this Pirate had a little spook at a blackbird who shot out of his blind side and he got a bit of a fright!

Burns Night tonight! I'll let David fill you in on all the happenings later on.

- Lisa, xx

Christmas wish come true...

 Happy (belated) Hogmanay everyone! 
This was supposed to be posted last week but David we all forgot so sorry it's a bit late.

Who here hasn't asked for a pony for Christmas?



Normally it's nothing more than wishful thinking but sometimes...



...miracles do happen.



Just as with her friend Rosie a few years before, the whole yard was in on it and keeping the new arrival a mystery was very hard but it paid off well in the end.

He's a Welsh Sec B/Shetland called Max and he and Sarah are getting on like a house on fire!
