Today we bid a fond farewell to the beautiful Ellie, who’s been in our lives for nearly 8 years. Ellie came to us with chronic laminitis and under-run abscesses we didn’t think we could fix. But the amazing team at intake, and our incredible farrier got to work removing the front of her hoof and building her a new copper one! She thrived ever since with not a single poorly day to her name. Taking my 70yr old mother on hacks, coping with anything I turned her out with and never complaining at anything. She was a warrior, battling cushings like a pro and making sure we were top of our game with our fencing by becoming an equine bulldozer on frequent occasions.

Her sister Indie was with her to the end and she will leave a big gap in our hearts but we have been so very lucky to know her.

Fly high Ellie go find some good grass.

One less feed bucket in our cupboard tonight, one more little set of hooves over rainbow bridge 🌈

♥️POSITION FILLED THANK YOU♥️

We have a rare space coming up for an older or very quiet mare or gelding needing barn space and limited turnout. The space is a turn out (4 in field in total)/bring in space into a lovely big barn with one other older mare. Price includes basic feed, haylage, bedding and care including handling for vet/farrier/dentist and rug changes

Would suit a metabolic or good dooer

Please message for more details or to arrange a viewing, waiting list contacts are being messaged if the space is suitable

Lambing is underway and the pet lamb pen is filling up…. Riley is sharing his barn with these little balls of chaos and is finding it a learning curve 🫣♥️

Ever wondered why we choose light blue/turquoise buckets over other colours here?

The water buffet was set up my Nema this morning…. She says the tumeric needed pre tasting before water was added…. 🙄

Finishing strong with the selection today we have

Liquorice (circulation & digestion)
Chamomile (soothing)
Tumeric (anti-inflammatory)

As you can see, the guard Shetland and my grumpy mare had the best morning possible! I think liquorice and chamomile may be a firm favourite with the nettle!

If you have any ideas of what we can put in the water buffet let us know. I’ll be rolling it out to the oap herd next and by the looks of it we need a yard one as the yard horses may protest! 🤣

Yesterdays water buffet saw nettle the clear winner with an empty bucket! Fenugreek came a close second with rosehip a fail because I think I chose seed instead of fruit so it tasted of nothing…. You learn!

Today we have:
Lavender (soothing and antiseptic)
Hibiscus flowers (wellbeing)
Ashwaganda (adaptogenic)

And then I’ll bring back the nettle lads I promise!! 🙈🤣
