Horsing around

With the bad weather we have had of late (either lots of rain or snow! ) I haven't had a chance to ride Marilla yet, and will probably wait until the weather improves a bit.

I had her in the other day though and took a few pics while doing the usual mundane sort of jobs like mucking out their shed (they have access to it 24/7), picking out feet, and giving her a light groom (although don't want to take too much of her fluffy hair away just yet, as I am sure we still have plenty of winter to come).

Here are just a few pics. I will try and get some more photogenic/scenic ones when the weather improves





















And of course the dogs and Ben wanted to get in on the act too

Beautiful, wonderful to see the kids helping to!

Awww - what lovely pictures. I wish my kids were little again!

Both ponies look in excellent condition

How old is Marilla (seeing as she is still very dappled)?

Gorgeous pics! She really is beautiful, and the littley's so CUTE!

Tame the jealousy Luce! heehee xxxx

Thanks. I always try to get the kids involved, especially as Strom is supposed to be theirs.

I wish my kids were grown up Just kidding! Thanks for the compliment on the ponies condition Marilla is 12 years.

LOL thanks Lucy. Glad you enjoyed them. I am sure you will be able to get another horse or two when you move up to the Borders Any news on that?

Hopefully, that's my plan! Just looking at houses still on the internet!...but Paul is job hunting, he's got an interview for Balfour Beattie - offices in Glasgow . House isn't on the market yet but ready and waiting, I want the garden to start coming through first, lol! So it will probably go up in spring

Brill - VERY exciting You have loads to look forward to Good luck to Paul with the interview!

LOL don't worry about brushing too much coat out..it wont part company until its ready..Mine are both rugged and you could get bunches in theirs LOL

She's lovely Kirsty. You are being very restrained. If she was mine I would find it hard not to be out and about on her despite the weather.

Great pics, the boys are really enjoying themselves aren't they
