Just wanted to give you a little glimpse into our weekend, during the storm.
We cancelled our bookings and I made the decision that the boys should stay in the yard and barn area incase there was flying debris or fences came down.
Everytime I went over to check on them I let them have half an hour of supervised playing out time . As expected they would rather stand out in the wind and rain and pick among the bushes and puddles than be sheltered with readily available fresh hay and water.
They really are the hardiest little ponies! 🖤🤎
Farrier visit day!
I always let the boys choose where they want to spend their time BUT sometimes I have to influence their decisions 😉
So they were allowed to play out for an hour after breakfast, then I put all their hay in the barn, closed the door, picked out and brushed off their hooves all ready for their hoof trim.....Can't have our farrier up to his eyes in mud.
Thankful for a big undercover area, we all stayed dry and the boys have beautiful hooves to see out the year!
No snow, just wind and rain !
Despite getting up, prepping everything and setting off early to avoid travelling in the wind, we had to turn back due to extreme snowy conditions, in and around Beamish Museum.
We're back home safe and sound and will try again tomorrow if it's safe to do so 🤞
We hope all our friends at the museum get home safely, after their amazing efforts to get essential jobs done, especially making sure all the animals are looked, after as always.
Snow time!
Even early mornings, when it's freezing cold and still a bit dark, my boys make me laugh with their antics!
Footy, snow angels, play fights and zoomies!
How fab does my little work mate, Flash, look with his new clip?
He's obviously feeling as good as he looks judging by his antics in the field tonight .... showing off in front of the ladies! 🤣🐎
No more overheating, he can run around to his heart's content without breaking a sweat!
Today Marley, Alex, Nathan and myself walked 3.9 miles to show our support for the Stannington, Morpeth, Pass Wide and Slow Awareness Ride number 61.
All horses were really well behaved and dealt with tractors, trailers, motorbikes, cyclists, cars and roadworks like pros!!
Marley never let's his size be a disadvantage to him. He kept up brilliantly and trotted back to the ponyvan at the end, as if he still had enough energy to do it all again! 🤣
We've had a great day at Beamish Museum helping out with some filming about pit ponies.
I'm so proud of Marley's attitude and behaviour.....he's a brilliant ambassador for the small but mighty Shetland Pony breed. 😍
Absolutely LOVE how not one single work colleague thought it was strange that I parked in the staff carpark, got a pony out the back of my van, and walked to my office for the day!!
How brilliant is it that my Marley can pop into his mam's place of work to help out with a bit of media work about pit ponies? 🐴👏
