It's been relatively quiet around the place with the winter sports season well and truly here.
All the ponies are enjoying a break, warm rugs and friendly visitors with treats!

Both grey boys in for their exercise this morning.
Love how the gradients of the colour change.
If we had Misty in, we'd have 3 completely different shades!

Meet Ri 👑
This awesome boy is here to have a couple of weeks under saddle - dusting off some cobwebs after being turned out/in lighter work.
Ri 👑 will likely be looking for a long term lease home, or perhaps a sale to a 5* home if his person comes along.
A 2007 Littorio gelding, in Ri 👑 we have met a lovable, well-mannered horse who needs a person to love him and share a variety of adventures.

Glam 💅 is finding her stride.
While she's a bit more on the whoa side at the moment, she's learning how to reach forward with those twinkle toes.

A brave wee pony, Glam 💅 has graduated to a saddle, and lives her adventures around the track.
I'm impressed with her continued bravery. She's happy to try new things and walk out on her own.

Nearly ready to have some adventures.

Glam 💅 tried very hard today to connect A, B and C.
First time astride and moving forward.
Growing in confidence every session.

Last week we welcomed Glam 💅 to Iron Rose to be started.
After a week of getting to know the day to day routines, Glam has settled in and is starting to answer some of the new questions we've been asking.

True to his breeding, Rocky 🗿is learning fast.
He's showing some lovely soft paces. Asher also had her first ride, with Rocky happy to have Asher sit astride and head off for a walk.
