It’s a great view out the kitchen window watching mares in the foaling paddocks, these two are taking their time!

Does anyone else get a sudden, uncontrollable urge to clean absolutely EVERYTHING?! 😂🧽

It’s like you come out of winter hibernation, look around and suddenly EVERYTHING you lay eyes on gives you the ick! 🙈

The cars, floats and truck have all had a complete spring clean, and today’s victims are the jumps! 🐴✨

At this rate, nothing on the property is safe from a water blaster, scrubbing brush or a fresh coat of paint! 🤣

Please tell me I’m not the only one who goes from happily ignoring the mess all winter to being personally offended by every speck of dirt come spring?! 😂

Available to purchase 🛍️
This girl had a ton of interest over winter and had someone lined up but circumstances changed so she’s now available once again. Perfect time to start furthering her education over summer.

This UPSTANDING 3 year old is all class 🤩

Another hot 🥵 (understatement) day here so post work bath in the yards under trees was needed!
I’m so excited for the future of this boy.

New gates for the stallion paddocks making me feel short!

😭 Well, that’s a wrap for Lido! 🥲

Somehow, in true horse fashion, he’s managed to slice his tongue quite extensively while out in the paddock. How he achieved such a spectacular effort will remain a mystery known only to himself! 🙈

Unfortunately, that means we’re out for the rest of the season this year, which is hugely disappointing, but his recovery comes first.

Wishing everyone competing this weekend the very best of luck! 🍀🐴

On the bright side (if there is one!), Lido’s social calendar has suddenly freed up, meaning we have some extra availability for mares this breeding season! 🤣💕

FF Lisandro 🥰
Gosh I love this horse, ONE ride before the show since hunting finished and dragged out of his paddock early am for a quick makeover!
Ears, socks and bridle path clipped, cold bath because I couldn’t get the hot wash working 😵‍💫 socks powdered, hooves blacked and his mane had grown back enough for plaits so I booked Level Up Equestrian for a STUNNING plait job (check out that tail ❤️)
Thank goodness for the sun shining today, well done everyone yesterday for braving the hail and sideways rain, I was pleased to be stewarding and not riding 🫣
