This lovely little mare joined the family back in August. Her name is Mia, she’s apparently an arab pony (although I suspect something else maybe Welsh as well). Mia is a completely unhandled and very, very flighty nearly 4 year old 13.3h mare, although at some point in time, she …
We have had a little bit of rain that has started the pasture germinating, but everything is looking pretty miserable and bare. The horses were feeling a bit fresh with the cooler temperature this morning and had a good hoon around their paddock. Mr B has got a little bit …
Miss B and Sandy had a ball checking on the sheep and cows today. The middle paddock is still doing ok pasture wise, still feeding out hay, but the creek and back paddocks are pretty bare and the creek level has dropped drastically exposing lots of stinky black mud. Matilda …

It was finally time to let Tessa out in the big paddock with the others today and boy did she enjoy the freedom to gallop around and strut her stuff!
