Winter on the farm
Its been really cold but not much rain or pasture growth so far this winter. Ponies are all spending a lot of time in their winter pyjamas.
Horses
Mia the teddy bear
Little Mia is sporting a very thick winter coat this year and is looking more like a teddy bear than a pony. Miss B did some groundwork and liberty training this evening while Flame looked on very unimpressed that he wasn’t the centre of attention 🙂
Fluffy ponies
The ponies are all getting fluffy and just about ready to clip to make them more comfortable over winter.
Getting ready for winter
It always amazes me how different the winter coats are for each of our horses. Mia being the pony always grows a massive fur coat, making her look like a cuddly teddy bear. Tessa’s winter coat is fairly thin as is Flames, but they both still sweat up terribly when …
This boot is made for smacking

Shiloh
Shiloh is coming back into work nicely after having short break recovering from a minor injury. We can’t wait for him to mature a bit more mentally so that he hopefully stops being a silly baby brained thoroughbred who is constantly hurting himself.

Storm Sunset and Ponies
It almost looked like we may have had an early season break which would have been lovely as it has been so dry, hot and dusty. Even Trinity would like a break from the heat! Jackson, Wilson and Tessa are in the house paddock at the moment to take some …
Australia Day 2019
The Running of the Flag has definitely become a tradition here at Eagleburra 🙂
