Today has been a day of doing the little things that need doing.
I popped over to Brae, for a friend, and took a photo of Busta House, a lovely hotel/restaurant.
And then, en route home, I saw a pair of swans on the loch.
Anywho, upon my return, I found Esja being ridden and so took a few photos of her.
Esja has made huge progress and her new owner adores her.
For a nearly five-year-old Icelandic horse, Esja is mature, happy and going very nicely for her owner. I love her ears in this photo – all listening.
Meanwhile, as it was raining, I brought Brá in as I wanted to get her dry and put on her proper waterproof rug. Brá has lost her coat far too early and I would hate her to suffer because of it.
She also has very “gooby-crunchy” eyes so I put some eye ointment in. For a mare who jumps scared about most things, Brá just stood there letting me put the ointment into both eyes. When I think of all the battles I have with the others, I stood back amazed at her reaction. What a good girl.
Junk Food – ‘Ster and Lambie will eat anything. This afternoon, I found ‘Ster munching my garden chair.
Lambie preferred an old plastic/foam bench. He was very happily ripping it up.
I am not a huge fan of junk food, so I went into the other shed and found some hay.
It seemed to work. The little munchers were diverted.
I wish they would leave my stuff alone. I think they have me well trained.
Love the brown-tint photos – very atmospheric!
And (if possible) the lambs just keep getting cuter and cuter…
My vet would call Lambie & Ster “recreational grazers”.
