Playful donkey

Ross was in a playful mood today....Buffalo just stood there and let him get on with it in a " kids, eh?!" kind of a way........

Scary plasic bag

Got a nice rustly plastic bag today so thought I'd see what the girls made of it........

Skyfaxa wasn't too keen at first......

...but eventually decided to let it near her......
















...and even be rubbed with it (in exchange for carrots, of course!!)









Noisette, as ever, has no problem whatsoever! She's amazing, considering when she came here she'd never left the field she was born in 6 years ago, she takes everything in her stride.......

Where's my horse gone?




Went to check on the big boys this afternoon to find that Gandalf had made such a deep hole in the hay his head had all but disappeared!




He looked cute so I took some more pics. His nose is so soft and velvety.........





I'm very lucky to have a horse like Gandalf, he's one in a million.........

Running in the sun






Something spooked the girls this afternoon just as I was going to get something from the barn. Skyfaxa was trotting around snorting so, as Adam does, I went into the field and trotted about with her and when she cantered off I followed and she calmed down really quick, came to nuzzle me then followed me about for a bit........






Took some pics of her rushing around first though!

A painting.....



....of my baby girl, not the best I've ever done, but I quite like it.

The decorations are on there because I'm going to use it on some of my Christmas cards this year........


I did one of Cocktail too:

Rossy's back.....



A couple of weeks ago Ross the donkey came back to live with Buffalo, the 35 year old Appaloosa in the field next door to Gandalf and Maverick.......


Buffalo won't let him out of his (somewhat limited) sight these days........!






He looks so cute in his little coat........
