On my early morning rounds I discovered a deer still in situ had knocked some fencing down. Pippy and Pompom had joined Jimmy and Strawberry in their paddock. They were integrating because Pippy hadn't met Strawberry properly but they seem ok this morning but I'll keep an eye on them.
I then checked all the others inc the retirement liveries , most had rolled in the mud and are very happy to have some cooler weather. The sweetitch ponies rugs are still relatively dry and must stay on with the midges now multiplying! There are various types of paddocks here some grassy and others bare where the ponies get hay twice a day , I'm still watering all by hand twice a day at the moment which is hard on the back but has to be done.

Last week we took Demetria to visit adults with learning disabilities in a nearby town . We don't have any photos yet to show you all but it was a very successful event. Demetria was happy to enter the home and enjoyed being stroked by the residents 🥰

Lots of jobs done again this morning, thanks to our lovely team of volunteers 🙋‍♀️ 😀

Time for Pippy's annual clip , he has a curly coat but doesn't have cushings disease and really enjoys the experience but not keen on getting his teeth done or being wormed!

We had a great time today giving the older ponies an M.O.T then we moved them to a new paddock that we fenced..
Many thanks to our 7 volunteers who worked very hard !

At last the fencing for the little boys is complete! Many thanks to all the wonderful volunteers who helped install the electric fencing making it extra secure. The boys had a great time running around and rolling in the sunshine 🌞

A lovely time was had yesterday at Stoodleigh fair , we arrived early to set up and settle in and took that opportunity to get some photos before everyone arrived. Pompom had a marvellous time meeting new people! 🐴❤️

Pompom is getting ready to go to our local country fair tomorrow 🥰 gosh what a lot of hair he's shedding! tail washed hooves oiled and looking very cute 🐴

It's been a long couple of months , we have managed to move lock stock to the most wonderful yard!
With over 20 stables and around 50 acres we are all very happy!
Moving 21 horses and ponies required careful planning but on the whole went brilliantly, (one slow loader) We had a crew of volunteers at both ends so all horses and ponies were settled in quietly. Some fantastic people also helped to move our equipment which had grown substantially over the 3 years at our previous place. I can't quite believe how much stuff had been accumulated and I'm still putting things away now!
We have settled into a good routine here and with also lots to do organising the stables and land which needed mini proofing we have also been able to book visits and have had 5 sessions already. 😀
🐱🐈Also our rodent control team have also settled in extremely well ❤️

A very proud moment after much time spent caring for and rehabilitation of equines in need . Especially now during hard winter months although last summer was also a trial ! 🥰🐴❤️

Honey has had a clip , her coat grows so thick and long she gets very sweaty. We can put a rug on if it gets colder ❤️ her hoof is much better after treatment..

16/11/2022

Blossom 🌸 had her feathers off this morning a hoof trim and pamper ..not the tidiest job trim wise but it's necessary..

15/11/2022

Busy vet morning
Sooty has a level 6 heart murmur but is showing no signs that there are issues with his quality of life.
Honey who has had a sore hoof now looks ok and will have a antibiotic spray twice a day.

Demetria has problems with her back teeth but all good today and no treatment this time.
Several ponies have shrunken frogs after this years drought and then wet weather , they are all being treated. ❤️🐴 you can never have too many towels! 🤣
