Miss B and Sandy have been busy training and getting ready for the local Agricultural shows coming up over the next few months. We have been looking for Miss B’s next horse for months, but so far haven’t found anything suitable for the competitive showjumper that Miss B wants. In …
Spring is my favourite time of year on the farm. The horses are enjoying the green grass, Tessa is in the Jenny Craig paddock to stop her getting too fat, the chickens have started laying after their winter holiday and the ducks are strutting around like they own the place …
