Gymkhana Update

 The local Pony Club had it's Gymkhana after the rain that ended the week of camp.  Possum had a lot of fun and came home with about 10 ribbons.  The pony was very well behaved and Possum smiled all day, even in the bareback.  

She is already talking about the next gymkhana she could go to, there will be no stopping her soon!

Blue didn't ride, his pony is still recovering after a visit to the vet.  He should be back in the saddle soon.

Veterinary Update

Today Mister Music had his second handling.  This is the first time he has had a head collar on and the second time he has been on a horse float.  Shame this all came about because we wanted to take him to the vet, but good in that he was an absolute superstar! He floated, led, got needled, drenched and gagged and he was really well behaved for all of it given the amount of handling he has had.  He is 10 months old now.

Lily came to the vet too.  She had to have a check up and some follow up treatment for some secondary complications.  We bought Mister Music home and left Lily in town; we will pick her up tomorrow.

Edit 5pm: The vet called back to say he was having no luck with Lily on the current treatment plan and that the next step is to operate; she is booked in for Tuesday.  Cross fingers for her please.

Autumn Update

I love Autumn.  We will see the leaves start to drop soon.

Rehoming Horses

Yesterday the new horses arrived.  

The mare is 10yo, handled, but not broken in.

The foal is 2 months old.

Busy times ahead of us

Creek Paddock

A week and a half ago we fenced of part of the creek paddock and moved the horses out there.  Not the little pony, she stayed with us in the house paddock instead as there is too much feed about.

We have lived here 9 months now, and this is the first time we have moved any stock into the creek.  It is still flowing well, clean, and lovely.  We had a splash and paddle while we were there and Gem the pup enjoyed the water too.  I do love the creek, and am grateful to have it.

Drenching the horses today.
