Updated pup portraits
It has been a while since I’ve done some photos of all the dogs, so I thought it was about time I took some new ones.
The difference a couple of months makes
Miss B has been very busy with three horses in full work now. Her training with Wilson and Flame is progressing steadily, both are jumping calmly and cleanly and are such honest horses its a pleasure to watch them work. The difference in Shiloh is incredible. hey have even started …
A sunny day swim
It was such a lovely almost spring day today we decided to take the dogs and Flame for a swim down in the creek paddock. It was Flame’s first experience down there and he had an absolute ball splashing in the water. Everything about this horse is just so exuberant …

Hang ten 1.10
While we are still actively looking for another horse to educate as a showjumper for Miss B, she and Wilson very confidently passed the 1.10m mark today 🙂
No rain has some benefits
These two are progressing very impressively, the one benefit of not having any rain, and therefore no soggy, slippery clay paddocks, is that they can keep training until we do get rain. Miss B has done such an incredible job with Wilson, taking him from the most basic education to …
