The wheels on the bus ...

Today Amy caught the bus to school - she has been harping on about doing it since the first week so we organised it for last week and today was the first day. She ends up at school very early and I am not sure how long it will last but she's an independent and determined little pip squeak so we will let her work out if it is the best option or not for herself.

Not a lot to report on the horse front today. Reilly seems to have had an allergic reaction to something and is covered in raised bumps - looks very odd but does not seem to bother him so if he is not worried, I guess I am not. Rory had a trim today and after some initial hesitance, he worked out it was all very boring really and fell asleep. I gave him the first of a series of 3 injections for strangles and tetanus once we were done and he still loves me so that's good!

Just a few more photos

Nessy has finally come into full blown season and has been served. Thank goodness! I thought she was never going to oblige. It has been a long season for Hamish with his first mare arriving in October and his last mare not being ready until March!

Rory and Aine are basically ready to be weaned. Aine's new owner came over to see her today and had a wee handling session with her. She pretended she didn't know how to be caught, naughty girl! While Kerry was playing with Aine I took Reilly down to the gully in the paddock and had some fun on the long lead. He's so bold, I have high hopes for him and, hopefully, those hopes will start being realised soon.

Here are some photos of the ginger monster snapped this afternoon.
