We decided that, ahead of our very exciting and busy next weekend at the Association of Irish Riding Clubs Festival, we will take it easy today with a little educational walk and official photo shoot with Frieda, followed by exercising her mum Flora, followed by practising our dressage test for next week with Skye 😅 Even if I try, I never manage to take a full day off 🙈 but it's all fun really!

Big day for little Willow.
Lovely visitors who brought baby size carrots for her and mammy size carrots for Winnie 🥰 and a first trip up to the barn to try on her head collar, under close supervision of the rest of the family!

Flora is not the only one who loves trees! Such a delight for everyone to be wandering along our woodland tracks again.

At our Giddy Up Programme, we held a Baby Shower for Winnie today to wish her well for the imminent birth of her next baby foal. Lots of pampering, hairstyling, cuddles and hugs, and beautiful carrot cake made by one of our teens!
All the best Winnie, you know what you're doing and you will do it well 💕

Hetti seems to say, it was about time you helped me get rid of that winter wool!!!
New personal record, 25 minutes from one end to the other! Yeah, I know, I'm not quite ready to enter a shearing competition yet but we have a happy sheep, that's the main thing!
