Sunshine today-at Last

Through all the atrocious weather since I last blogged Dennis managed to finish the new yards..Glen turned half of the greenhouse into a barn. What a star!!!! I can now get Gypsy and Sarg off the mud and under a roof.
 It's quite an amazing feeling you can sit on the post and be at head height. The horses love it, and it keeps the hay from being trampled too.  Both Gypsy and Sarg love the Barn as well, and there is a little pen off the end of it ....it'll look good once all the silk trees bud... there is another race off to the main yards, and I can put them out to the grass through the gate at the back. This is opposite the roundpen so it's in a very handy place....I think this will get a lot of use...we love it.


New Yards- High & Dry
Oscar and Arani and Louka have faired pretty well really through all of this, they have a very muddy paddock but also have access to the yards and the stall, so have at all times been able to get out of the rain and have been able to have fresh grass every day too.
All the horses don't look to hard done by for winter, except for the fact that they have rolled in the mud A LOT and that doesn't take very good photo's, so I will put some up as soon as we can get them brushed again. They are very happy today enjoying the sun on their backs.

  2. That's interesting- are you able to take pic's.
    Today Oscar was AMAZING he is right with me now. He came up to me and was almost begging me to scratch his itchy bits. I have been standing so close all the time giving him the opportunity to ask me to stroke his mane and scratch him along his back. He's walking as light as a feather now- turns with the feel so well. He loves our sessions and so do I- first time in 3 or 4 days as it's been sooo wet..I'm off to buy some hula hoops and cones for Gypsy Sarg and Louka so that we can be more innovative when we play. So lovely to hear from you already XX Kathy
