Here we go again 🙄
We’ve had an unbelievable amount of weather bombs in the last 18 months. We are vulnerable to the easterly storms and they just keep on coming. Our region is struggling and our farming community have taken blow after blow.
I like to think we’re a resilient bunch, but I’m not sure how much more we can take.

1 month old. No guesses for who her father is! Her bone and her feathers definitely give it away! I’ve bred a few half draughts but she’s by far the chonkiest 😍 #cekikorangistorm #somertonbeau #clydesdale #sporthorse #pinto #foalsofinstagram #carnaghequestrian

A wee photo dump and update while we wait for the storm to pass. We’ve been mighty lucky with the weather so far this spring, with gorgeous sun, high temps and enough top-ups of rain to keep the grass growing. But the last 24hrs has felt a little bit like deja vu, and a horrible reminder of how devastating the last few cyclones have been for us and our region. Luckily the winds and torrential rain are easing. Luna has had a suspicious swollen lower hind leg, so has been off work this last week. Nui seems to be holding on for the fine weather, thank god. Beau is raring to go and telling me every chance he can that he’s ready for action 😅 And the babies are all fat and happy and growing. Gracie is on the market but I’ll secretly be quite happy to hold on to her for another year 😜 Now for some more of the sunny stuff please! #carnaghequestrian #photodump #horsesofinstagram #fortheloveofhorses
