The future broodmares - young fillies have been away on an agistment block for a few months, and it’s certainly given them a growth boost! 3yos B. Stormfly, Nacho and Pepsi are by Carreg Wen Hunza. B. Jellybean 4yo (Timarron Cottage Sinatra x B. Candy)

These boys are only just coming up to 5 months old - and they’re nearly as big as their mums already! Contact me if you’re after a future kids pony (or good sized future Shetland stallion with a kids pony temperament)

Because every fence fixing job is made better with a crew of 2 dogs, a pup and a cat 🤷‍♀️😁 probably makes the job a little longer 🤷‍♀️ but a lot more enjoyable 😁

Azarey - no she’s not hurt. No she’s not stuck. She just decided she wanted the grass from under the middle of the tables. Of course. And she wiggled her way out carefully. Not saying they all behave like this! But trainable minds, obstacles in the paddocks to make them think, asking them to do “weird” things like walking over tarps or meeting a few hundred random strangers in animal nurseries 😁. We want our horses and ponies to approach new things with curiosity not fear, and obstacles as an adventure. And when things go wrong I’d prefer them to stop and think things through, even if it means calling to us for help😁 and yes that’s happened!

The foals getting their first halter while some of the mares get their nails done 😁 they will just wander around in the yards and get used to the feel of the halter and rope in a relaxed setting. 😁 …..AND this is why I removed the foals when the Australian Hoof Trimmer students came last week 🤦🏼‍♀️ some very curious and over friendly youngsters🤣

What a great bunch of trimmers this year! Although a few of the ponies weren’t on their best behaviour, they all handled them really well. Had to lock the foals away to let the trimmers get their work done though😁
