Our thoughts are with The Royal Family at this sad time 😢

What a scorcher of a day 😎☀️☀️

I think I’ve finally gone mad 🤪🤪as I decided today was the day that the couple of bits of ragwort around the farm were being picked!!!

It only took an hour but my god I’m roasting. Probably not one of my best decisions doing something like this in this weather - but hey !!! It’s done now 🤷‍♀️

As we all know Ragwort is the devil in horse owners eyes. It can be dangerous to our horses if eaten due to the toxic compounds which can poison and cause liver damage to our horses and ponies.

Thankfully we don’t need to worry about that here. Just doing our best to keep the gang safe.

Morning all 🤗

Hope your all having a good start to your day? 🐴🌤

How do you keep your farrier sweet ?
Feed him of course 🤣🤣

A massive thank you as always to our farrier Alistair McLintock who powered on through 3 x sets of shoes and 6x trims 💪💪 2 x cups of tea, rolls and sausage and couple of chocolate biscuits and a can of juice!!

As always there was some good chat with the world put to right

Happy Monday Morning 🤗

Well it’s 9.30am and 23c already 🥵🥵
The horses were patiently waiting at the gate for us this morning, desperate to get in and away from the clegs, who seem to have been extremely aggressive over the past couple of days.

The troops will be in for as long as possible and probably get hosed down at some point today just to help keep them cool.

Hope your all managing to keep cool today and remember to drink plenty of water.

Below is an example of how we like to give daily updates to our liveries on how they’re horses are doing:

The Sunday morning vibe is that it’s a lazy one - They’ve all been out partying from the night before, giving it large to a bit of George Bowie and GBX.

The girls - Rhanna and Lexi were sensible enough to call it a night about 10pm and look as fresh as a daisy munching away on the grass.

Lara got chucked out the pub about 8am for being an absolute outrage so she was away telling the girls the gossip.

Chic liked what he heard so decided he wanting in on the action, as did Scooby. They both got allowed back into the pub (shed) Chic happily sitting at a table with a munch watching all the drama and Scooby realising that he’s a lot older than he thought and was found asleep at the edge of the dance floor.

Sprite on the other hand was last man standing and was still rocking it out to a bit of TTF - he was definitely feeling the energy !!!!

Rannoch had been chaperone to Clyde the whole night, allowing him to experience his first dance party. Clyde was flat out in the field this morning from the excitement of it all and Rannoch is flat out coz he’s “too old for this s # ”

Ginger, Rainbow and Rosie spent the best part of an hour arguing with the bouncers coz they got knocked back. They were told they were too wee and too young to get into something like this. Raging Rosie threw her passport to the bouncer declaring that she was 14 years old !!!! When they were all laughed at again they walked away….. plotting how they can get into the place next weekend !!!

Hope you all have a lovely day xx

I’m just a boy trying to take my best pal for a walk !!!

18/06/2022

It was Lara’s 12th birthday yesterday.

She really did enjoy her wee pamper session along with wearing a beautifully handmade princess tiara !! 👸

13/06/2022

Can’t wait to try out these new jumps !!
So excited 😁😁

It’s the simple things !!

04/06/2022

What a glorious day for a hack. 🐴☀️☀️

We really do have some wonderful scenery and quiet hacking routes right on our door step

26/05/2022

The boys love coming out with us whilst we do our rounds. Even the last checks at night.

We managed to get them to stay still long enough to capture the great sunset we had a few nights ago.

22/05/2022

We had great fun yesterday popping over this make shift jump.

Rannoch really does come alive when he’s jumping and we were both smiling as we sailed over this 95cm jump.

21/05/2022

What a great photo of these best pals.

Always so curious to see what your up to and they’re generally up to mischief as well.

The geldings field has horses and ponies who’s ages range from 1 year old to 23 years old.

The older ones keep the younger ones in check and the younger ones keep the older ones active. They’re a great social group

Hope your all getting the chance to hang out with your pals this weekend. Have a great time if you are !!

19/05/2022

Our wee resident swifts are back. Mum and dad having a well earned break after getting everything ready for when the chics hatch 🐣🐥

14/05/2022

At least Clyde finds my jokes funny 🤣🤣

Hope you all have a lovely weekend☺️

11/05/2022

We’ve had mixed feelings about the Forrest next to us getting cut down.

It’s been up for about 47 years and apparently that means it’s got to come down now.

We are looking forward to the landscape really being opened up which will offer even more fantastic views. The field that it covered should hopefully dry up a lot better and fingers crossed there’s not as many midges in that area.

The down side is that it had acted as an excellent wind break during the stormy weather and the horses won’t have the shelter that it offered.

It’ll be interesting if we feel / see a change during the coming seasons.

08/05/2022

Hope your all having a relaxing weekend just like Chicala is ? ☺️😴

06/05/2022

Yesterday was a day of pampering the mini’s. 🥰🐴Think they really enjoyed it with lots and lots and lots of hair coming off of them 🙄😧😧

04/05/2022

So true !! 🤣🤣

02/05/2022

We’ve had a lovely Weekend being out a great hack with the girls from the yard 😊🐴🥰

01/05/2022

You comfy there Rannoch? 🤣🤣

30/04/2022

A lazy start to Saturday for one of our residents !!!

24/04/2022

EQUINE GINGER RAGE is a thing !!!
Out on a lovely hack for an hour and a half yesterday. Rannoch was foot perfect until the last 5 minutes away from home. Then it happened …

The Ginger Rage kicked in…. It started with trotting along when we were supposed to be walking.

Then doing some beautiful lateral work along the road ( I didn’t ask him to do it) but I’d be looking for at least a 9 in any dressage test 🤣🤣

About 300 yards away from the yard he started to turn himself inside out - throwing himself from one side of the road to the next, trying to sn**ch the reins out my hands and unbalance me. Reversing himself into small ditches at the side of the road.

I stopped laughing at his antics by this point 🤨

About 50 yards from the yard. We were literally 20 strides away from the gate. He threw himself up an embankment, leaped down off it with me falling onto his neck and smashing the left side of my face off his neck. Then walked back to the yard as if nothing had happened !!! WTF Rannoch !!!!

He literally stopped short of throwing himself sideways on the ground and thrashing his legs up in the air like a petulant child.

What a K**b !!! And all because a wee 14h pony and it’s rider decided to trot on a bit in front - I have no other explanation or understanding as to why he done this.

He’s also 20 years old for god sake. I had to put up with all that nonsense when he was a lot younger 🤷‍♀️🙈

Anyways other than being sweaty he was fine. I had to ice pack my swollen left eye, had a bite to eat and then popped on a lovely 17.2h Grey mare who’s coming back into work. She was a total star compared to knobby !!

How’s your day going ??

22/04/2022

The winter hair is literally coming off them in handfuls ☀️

Rhanna always lets you know when you’ve got the itchy spot. She’s too cute when she starts her wee head tilt and that top lip starts to move 🥰🐴

17/04/2022

Happy Easter everyone !!!

A massive thank you to all our liveries who kindly handed out a great selection of Easter Eggs today.

We’re all getting tucked into the lovely hand made chocolate too. Thanks Helen - they’re delicious 😋😋

15/04/2022

Battle Ready 💪👊🦟 This boy is ready and prepared to take on any midge or flying piranha !!!

29/03/2022

We’re enjoying exploring different places whilst out hacking before the weather changes.

27/03/2022

To all those fantastic mothers out there -

Happy Mother’s Day 🎊☺️

I’ve had a chilled morning out with the horses. How’s your day been so far?

26/03/2022

The boys are loving this fantastic weather. ☀️😎🐴
So are we to be fair !! Long may it last 🤞
