We visited the girls

Went down to Sarah's to see the girls again this weekend, they are doing really well at Sarah's. They have grown a bit and filled out, and acquired more spots! They are getting on fine with Sarah's horses, in fact, Sky is getting on a bit too well with Maverick the mini mule......

Sarah has a new horse, Squaw, she is lovely, the three of them make a pretty picture!

Kinna is definitely getting less spindly, still no sign of her tail growing though......

Sarah has been trimming ttheir feet, she did Kinna's this morning, they are looking good. I am going to look into doing some sort of barefoot trimming course myself to be able to do a bit of maintenance between visits from the trimmer.

And as Sky is two years old today, we took her a cake, and Ali sang happy birthday to her, as you can see from the video Sky was more interested in the carrots than the singing......

Really miss those girls......

Happy Birthday Skyfaxa!

Today is the girl's first birthday, I helped Ali and Éowyn make her a cake. Well, I helped Ali, Éowyn's contribution mostly involved throwing bits of carrot and apple as far as possible over the kitchen table and trying to eat the honey from the jar....... We put apples and carrots in the blender, then added honey and oats. We made it into a cake shape and finished it off with a carrot candle.

She loved it!

So did Kinna who was actually allowed to have some by the birthday girl......

And even the chooks got to finish up the crumbs. None for the goats though who have eaten my neighbour's rose bushes and raspberry plants so are waddling everywhere at the moment, and certainly none for Gandalf who is so fat he's risking laminitis and is having to be kept in the box during the day whilst Maverick goes out in the big field and is only turned out in the small nearly grassless paddock at night. Monsieur, il n'est pas content!
