We welcome home a couple of old friends ...

Yesterday Hooty and Ata travelled over the hill from Wellington back to us at Talisman Farm. Ata is here to be gelded, branded, weaned and wintered and Hooty (who is back in foal, this time to Coalmans Touch, for a friend) is back for good. Maude was less than impressed to find herself sharing her new paddock with her old paddock mates and spent quite a lot of time pulling VERY evil faces and chasing them away. Enya was desperate to get up closer and investigate the new horses but Maude was determined not to let her. This morning everyone seems pretty happy and the foals are definitely starting to get re-acquainted.

I also got a photo of Reilly and Kim back over in Wellington looking good!

Easter Friday

Today we have Megan who is clearly displeased at not being ridden at present. My ankle (which I hurt a couple of weeks ago) is still giving me quite a lot of bother but I hope to be back on board this week (who needs stirrups anyway?) and am going to contact a local trainer to try and set up some regular lessons so we can take on a few tests at the winter dressage series (hopefully without completely shaming ourselves) and work towards our big goal of Horse of the Year 2011. Wish us luck!!
