It’s true, I do like cake ☺️🤪

Miss rosa getting exceptional care from Barefoot Benefits . Alun really does put up with a lot from me between my obsessive worrying about the ponies and my taking the p**s out of him but he does have the perk of being our official cake tester.

I have many many donkeys on the books but I think Ruth Cox ( Puy Jaillant Family Farm ) is the only owner of a beer donkey that I know of!

Whilst looking through some bones I had composting I came across this mini Shetland I forgot I had!
It is easily the smallest navicular and P3 sample that I have, so I had to share it with you 😂

Anyway, after that little treat I want to thank each and everyone of you for the support again this year, it was manic but great fun as always!
Back at it tomorrow, Jan the 1st, well they aren’t going to trim themselves are they 😜

I hope you all had a great Christmas and a happy new year, see you soon!

*sorry to anyone that has had to witness me being so unwell for the last month 🤦🏻‍♂️

** I am Going to try to get back to taking more pictures this year 🥳

The main problem with being so busy is that it doesn’t allow time for new clients, people move or we unfortunately lose some horses amd places become available, yay we can make new content 🤣🤪 it was nice to trim at the chateau and get these coblets on a 6 week schedule ☺️ a job well done 👏

One of my very clever customers has a particularly heavy and uncooperative comtois, so they built their own stocks from scratch to make trimming him much easier!! Amazing and so much safer for me and the horse ☺️
