Apparently the girls were feeling so amazing today after a chiro session and a bath that Varlia forgot to put her legs in 4wd and went splat 😬🤦♀️😂 she wasn’t hurt but her pride was and came sulking up to me knowing I got it on camera 😂
You know it’s a good scratch when the camel face comes out 🤣 #friesian #friesianhorse #CamelFace #thatsthespot #equine #equestrianlife
Here comes the ‘everything goes in my mouth’ stage. Her face going from “Hey mum watch me!!” to “oh crap sorry” cracks me up every time. If only they could talk.
Desensitising disguised as fun
Saturday arvo shenanigans to help create a sound minded and playful kidlet.
Float training
First time being introduced to the scary float and seeing it up close. Managed to get her on quite quickly being led on with mum on board as encouragement. Then I let them loose to do whatever and it resulted in Varlia and Arwen fighting over who got to play in the metal box first 😂 It’s just another play toy to them
Scary ball
This pretty much sums up the difference in these two sisters personalities 🤣 Arwen is a more wary and spicy little thing, while Varlia couldn’t give a rats arse about anything and boldly investigates everything.
Meeting the family.
Today Arwen got introduced to the whole herd after slowly meeting each one over the last 2 months. It’s always interesting watching the babies navigate their way and learn the communication and language. Arwen is particularly spicey and thought she could fight them all 🤦♀️ Although she’s learnt not to mess with Aunty Annie and those flying legs 😂 she’s a confident little miss this one.
It’s a tough way to be greeted every day but someone’s got to do it 😍🥰
Got to start training the piglet out of them early. Arwens already decided that the food definitely tastes better in the other horses feed bins. So she gets reminded every night that we finish our own bowl first. We’re still working on trying to keep the feet out of her bowl 🫤
It’s a tough gig hanging out with these guys but someone’s got to do it 🤷🏼♀️
This kid has me wrapped so tight around her little finger 🤦♀️ every morning and evening she says hello and goodbye when she sees my car pull up. Just like her big sister did. Must be in the genes 😂
When the scratch is so good she turns into a camel 🐪 #friesianhorse #foal #blackbeauty #CamelFace #horses #foallife
Today is Zuskes 9th birthday and for a treat her and Arwen got to move into the bigger paddock. Sadly no grass, but she’s very chubby so it’s not going to hurt her 😂
Arwen’s become so much braver in the last week and is now trying to play with her scary ball. She’ll have something productive to do with those front legs instead of putting them in all the places she shouldn’t.
Little miss not happy about me putting spray on her back legs.That last stomp really drove home her disapproval 😂
When mum just wants to eat her hay in peace, but the little devil just has to be a nuisance 🤣 The rain brings out her wicked side
That little whinny will never not melt my heart ❤️ Arwen hiding in the box from all the flies
When you think you finally have 5 minutes to yourself………. And it’s ruined by the ratbag 😂
