Jumping again
The paddocks have been a bit slippery lately but have dried out just enough the last few days to be able to safely jump again. Miss P is lucky I enjoy watching them train because it has been absolutely freezing outside!
Trinity and Zeke
The recent weather we have had has sent the cape weed growth through the roof over the past couple of weeks. Luckily it is still really cold so snakes aren’t a problem, but we will definitely have to be careful once it starts to warm up. Trinity and Zeke enjoyed …
Going green early
It’s always such a relief to have our first rains of the season and start to see the pasture germinating and turning the paddocks green after months of dusty, dry brown. This year it is going green early compared to past years thanks to early rains. Let us hope it …

Freedom at last
It was finally time to let Jackson out in the top paddock now that he is officially Miss B’s horse. I think it is pretty obvious how much he loved the idea 🙂
The Babysitter
Mia has proven herself such a valuable little pony, she is the best babysitter for whoever needs company. Their paddock is eaten down now for summer fire protection so it is going to be interesting to see how their friendship changes when they go out in the top paddock with …
