It's easy to waste time gazing at the view here..

There be monsters in our field..

Right, I'll hold it while you stamp on it.

Let's kill it..

It was her, honest, I didn't touch the rugs..

Grazing in colours

yes, they really do. this group is chesnuts, coloureds, greys and ablack and a spotty. Not a bay in sight.

Prince

Who's wintered out without any rugs a bit too well...

hiding behind the black and white bum...

yes, It's Charlie...luckily there isn't much grass to speak of so he's ok wandering round for now.

I'm getting nearer to catching the little B!

Jezz and Rene.

One of the smaller groups

Jezebel, Rene, Duzzit (livery) and Izzy.

You could hear the hounds!

Tread carefully..

It's difficult to avoid them when virtually the whole field is covered with primroses.

Primrose Hill

This is my favourite place on the whole farm, once you go through this old gate there is a secret wood on the right full of primroses then bluebells, a little stream waterfalls through it, and the area has been untouched for many years.
The views are constantly changing, today the local Hunt were on the hillside opposite, the hound music carried on the breeze, a buzzard was floating on the air currents (poor lad he is mateless after his partner died) and the baby rabbits were hooping about un-afraid because they see few humans.
I spent ages just leaning on the gate admiring the view, and feeling grateful I live here.

More like a teddy bear than a horse!

Callisto' s going to be bigger than Oberon..

Simply because it's beautiful..

William and Isabella

Look how he's grown! Izzy is a year older and was an orphan hand reared foal. He still has the op marks on his neck both sides, so it will be nice to see him with a normal summer coat.

early morning and I am herd checking...

Which naughty boy rubs on tree branches?

Raff, some of you may recall him from a riding school.
