It's a hard life....

Leo

As you can see this foal's legs aren't correct. his check ligament is too tight on one leg and only a little better on the other one.
He is on a month's restricted movement so is stabled with his dam, who is also on restricted food (ad lib old hay)
The vet will rasp his hooves as often as he can to try and get him to stop appearing on tip toe.
If this doesn't work vet will treat him to help the muscles relax.
We are massaging the legs as many times a day as we can, he's a good foal and never makes a fuss about it.

Leo who likes a comfy bed..

Layla

Advert picture? This lovely 6 year old selle francais is 16 2 hh of total pleasure. Trainable, (this pic was taken five mins after not being ridden for months), the sweetest nature imaginable and willing jump. She is good to clip/box/catch/shoe and in traffic, nad as you can see has two small blemishes on her knees due to an accident. the vet has X rayed her totally injury free apart from some hair loss and is happy to discuss her with any potential purchasers.
I'm hoping to find a home where they can exploit her dressage potential and appreciate this is an exceptionally sensible horse as well as talented.

The herd

This lot aren't supposed to be in here, but they squeezed through a gap in the fence... It's not going ot be easy persuading them back to sparser grazing!

Callisto by Harpers Bornival ex Enchante.

Galaxy/Solly and jazz.

Look, why do we have to keep moving? Make your mind up woman!

Callisto and Oberon rising two

I'm really pleased with this pair, both are very different but look like potential event horses in their own way. They should mature around 16 hh.

4 Chocolate babies

from the left. Solstice, Jazztime, Lucia and Isabella.

William

he lost quite a lot of weight when we had wet weather but will now slowly gain it back, he's integrated into the main herd which will teach him manners.

Bonsai garden

The latest tenant is aprofessional gardener and grow bonsai. Some of these trees are 25 years old.

David Austen roses

I haven't had much success with his roses until I planted the climber James Galway, this is it's second season and I think it's going to thrive.

Not quite roses round the door...

Galileo, a week old today.

Chocolate babies..

Callisto/Oberon/Galaxy.

these are all rising two.

Layla

getting fit again ready to be advertised, I now have X Rays of her knees to show any purchasers.

Happily hacking alone

Jezz hacked out alone with no problems including seeing pigs for the first time. She met up with C riding Layla and rode home together, but touch wood, has been an angel so far..

Leo

I think he might have inherited his Dad's good walk..

Leo day four

We start training them for lateral work early....

Leo legs it!

I had to catch his dam to get near enough to him to touch him, and he is a feisty little devil!
