I offered my grooming services this morning. 5 takers- Gemma, Cobweb, Aspi, Pru and Soldier. Cobweb was only for a couple of minutes, then he walked off to eat. Pru didn't want her face done, enjoyed her legs, and groomed me back when I did her neck. Gemma wanted her whole body brushed, and also groomed me back when I did her chest. Aspi wanted me all to himself, and didn't want me to stop. Soldier took full advantage of me being held up by Aspi, finished his bucket food, and helped himself to the long grass before being put back in with his mates.

No headcollars because I love giving them truly free choice, and being guided by their body language as to what they want. A beautiful morning, and in return for the sound of bird song, the birds get some new nesting material 💝

Happy Christmas to our friends and followers. Whatever it may look like for you, here's wishing you all a better quality of life going forward. It's the ultimate gift.

Jane sadly lost the love of her life, Rascal, and since then she has had to live with other ponies in protected contact. Not for her physical protection, but for theirs. If Jane were a human, I'd say she was someone who would start a fight in an empty room🤦‍♀️. Young, old, big, small... or all together, dear Jane would take everyone on. The ultimate bruiser, and she wouldn't back down. 🥊

I can only surmise the reasons, but I do understand that her defensiveness comes from past difficulties. She's not a horrible pony, far from it (none are!), but she holds mental scars which make her feisty, and ready to fight. But with slow and careful small steps, for Christmas this year we have Jane living with a new herd. 💝

I've worked on her sense of safety, carefully helping her find her way, and the other ponies too. This means more space, more choices, more enrichment and overall a better quality of life for Jane. Priceless!

Picture taken tentatively last week, whilst trying to sweep the yard, but very mindful that Jane resource guards me. I was simultaneously shaking my head at the state of the yard after a wild, windy night, whilst beaming that they were all calmly sharing food. I didn't want to get too close and upset this precious moment! Still work to do but a moment to celebrate all the same.

Happy Christmas!🎄🥰

Happy 🤫 80th 🤫 Birthday to Crabhayne's head groom, chief fixer and best tractor driver, aka my dad Brian.
Still feeding animals, emptying the muck trailer, carting haylage, and shovelling 💩 today!

Storm Darragh is raging all around, and it's bums to the gusts of over 80mph and business as usual here 🌬💨

When you try and get a nice atmospheric photo of the morning mist.... Gemma starts yawning and sticking her tongue out, Alfie photo bombs, and Aspi gets bored of posing and walks off. Gold star to Diva! 🌟😂
