Cowgirl Ali

As Ali didn't want Kinna to be left out, we did her photo for the calendar yesterday.

She was very good, didn't mind the (rather heavy) Western saddle at all. I even dug out an old hackamore bridle to finish the look.

Kinna looked very small under all that....

Inevitably, Éowyn wanted a ride......

So that's both babies backed then, what shall we do next?

Spotty Indian Pony

Éowyn's turn for the calendar shoot today, thought Sky would look the part as an Indian pony. So she's an unbacked two year old, but that didn't matter!

Sky was better behaved than the child, unsurprisingly.......

Anarchy in the.....south west of France?

So it's that time of year again, time to think about photos for our annual Horsetales Charity calendar. Some of us want to do the fancy dress theme again and for the Naughty Nordic Princess there is really only one look to go with her mane and her non conformist attitude:

All that work with fly spray desensitisation meant she didn't even mind being graffitied - unlike Aliénor who hated having her hair and makeup done, although she's got the moody punk expression nailed.......and wants to keep the studded belt!
