Shetland Pony Grand National

Sorry, I should’ve explained.

The Advent Calender is situate at the top of the blog. Click on the appropriate date number and up pops one of my photos. It may take slightly longer to show because it is a larger picture (1280 x 1024 pixels) but it is given with my love free to you for your own personal use.

Enjoy and thank you for all your support this year.  You have no idea just how much it has meant.  Hugely appreciated. xx

Daisy and I went over to Sandness to move the little foursome herd from their now-grotty park to the hay park.

They can take the top off it.

There is no water in this park so we moved the water trough and had to fill it by hose.

To say Silver, Lyra, Waffle and Vitamin were happy to be moved would be an understatement.  There was much galloping.

And then heads down and EAT!

And then off they went again.

Vitamin was keen to appreciate her new field.

bn2a2677

The youngsters went off exploring together.

bn2a2673

Lyra suddenly felt like a blast.

bn2a2688

Waffle had to follow.

And then they were joined by Silver.

Then Silver decided to put his hoof down.

He had excellent acceleration with an added tail swipe at Waffle on the way past!  It is all about tactics.

bn2a2708

Vitamin looked up to see everyone had vanished and she thundered past!

bn2a2721

She can move when she wants to.  A rare sight.

bn2a2725

Meanwhile we were still filling up the water trough.

bn2a2734

Waffle has one true love.  His Lyra.  She has stopped being Daisy’s girl now.

bn2a2737

Lyra and Food.  Ok, Waffle has two true-loves. He is determined to eat his weight in grass as fast as possible.

bn2a2738

Meanwhile, Daisy looked at the view.  Filling that water trough takes forever.

I feel happier now that this herd are moved.  They can eat this park down for a bit.

    Great to see happy ponies! I had Blue Belle doing “work” for a couple of days – eating the grass down on the edges of the yard. When she got back into the field she took off and, shall we say, broke wind in her enthusiasm!
