Little Raggamuffins...

I took the top two photographs of Beau and Barney a few days ago. They look a right pair of Raggamuffins. They have such thick Winter Coats, with the baby coat still mixed in there as well. Beau has already started to lose some of his but little Barney hasn't. Its like a thick Woolly jumper. Barney reminds me of A.L.F, do you remember that programme, Alien Life Form?.
I went down into the little Paddock yesterday,
it was lovely to actually spend some quality time with them both, as I haven't been able to be as hands on as I normally am, due to my ongoing health issues, see Tiny Treasures Blog.
Hopefully, Harry will be doing the shows for me this year, but he needs to hurry up and decide who he wants to show. I'd Love him to show little Apollo, but I think Harry wants to show one of the Girls.

Goytre Napoleon AKA "Neo"

We've had Neo since he was a yearling and we've run him on, with every intention of using him as one of our Stallions.
Unfortunately, when we put Neo through his Stallion assessment, Neo measured in at 90Cm's or 35 and a half inches and is now too big for us to use on our Miniature Mares.
So I've come to a heart breaking decision that my beautiful boy needs to find a new loving home, where he can have some Ladies of his own. It's not fair just to keep him here as a pet, where he will be totally wasted. So today I've put him up for sale on Shetland Pony Classifieds.

Both these beautiful boys will be going up for sale shortly.

Snow Ponies...

Ben took these photographs yesterday for me. As you can see we've had quite a lot of Snow and are due another lot on Sunday & Monday. All the outside taps are frozen, so we are having to run meters of hose pipe down the yard from the Kitchen Sink to make sure all the Ponies have water. Even the water in the Stables resembles frozen slush.
If you click on the pictures they will pop up bigger. I Love the picture of Chi Chi in the snow it makes her eyes seem deeper blue..

Happy New Year 2010.... A New Decade

I'd like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year 2010. (Sorry I'm a bit late).

Another decade has gone and a new one has begun. The last decade holds mixed emotions for me. It was the decade where I lost both my parent's, my Mum in 2001 and my Dad in 2003 and so nearly my own life in the latter part of 2009. It also was the start of our families new life in Wales, one that we certainly have no regrets about.
It was also the decade that I started blogging and through this blog, I have met virtually and in person some of the most amazing people on the planet. Yes I'm talking about you my dear friends out there in the blogosphere.
I want to thank you all for you friendship, encouragement and support, especially over the last few months. May 2010 bring you all happiness, health and all you wish for.


These pictures were taken today, after the snow fall we had last night.

Peggy Off To Her New Home..

Our friends Horse, Peggy Sue, went to her new home yesterday. She has been with us since 24Th July, this year. Its going to be strange no seeing her wandering round the fields with our little ones.
We now have one of our large stables free again. So the next job is to take Beau and Barney away from their Mums and get them weaned and the vet up to Micro chip them and their registrations sent off to Shetland House. I have already ordered the chips and they are hopefully with the vet. This should have been by done by now, but what with me ending up in Hospital for three weeks and now recovering from my Heart surgery, it didn't get done.

Happy Halloween...

Wishing you all a Happy Halloween....

Hey everyone this is Ben. Mums not very well at the moment and is in the hospital I will be updating everyone on her Tiny Treasures blog.
