A New Régime

Well, now that spring is properly here and the grass is growing well, all the oldies are not on fattening food anymore.  I have cut back.  They get their breakfast bucket but it is not as calorifically laden as it used to be.

My theory being they are fat enough!

The weight is back on and everyone is perfect.

That is the face of an Iacs who stole, yes you heard me correctly, stole Haakon’s afternoon carrot and now I have to make sure Haakon has an extra one tomorrow morning because of this heinous crime.

And this is the face of Haakon who knows Iacs stole his carrot! He was not happy and I could not be arsed to walk all the way back up the hill to get another carrot especially for Haakon. So shoot me.

Wisely, Kolka left the boys to their own argument.

She is looking fabularse.

Spot on.

Yup, obviously more tomorrow!

    Frances, you know I love your blogs. Thank you, Thank you. I have not been very active lately. I am one week past TKR surgery and am just coming out from the fog? or maybe I was always a bit foggy. This is going to be a journey!!
    Your blogs have been a wonderful touch with reality and life that is till out there. The big horses look marvaleous!!
    As you know Monster and Bert are my favs. I know I am not supposed to have them but.
    I show the blog pics of Monster on hikes, jumping across streams to his SW cousin, White Cat (who right now is asleep in the middle of the covers) such a hard life. Of course not being an outdoor cat he blames me for his lack of aerobic activity .
    Take care of yourself as well as all your feathered and furred
    Colleen

    I see the newest investigative reporter is on the job, looking into “unfair carrot disbursal systems” for the local paper.

      Yes, she has two rows of teeth carefully monitored by horse dentist. It does not affect her life in any way.

    Kolka’s face is so similar to that of my first and last own horse, Jasmine. As far as I knew she had no icelandic in her (TB x connemara it was thought) but her winter colouring was so like Kolka’s colouring now and her eyes were just the same.

    Monster is determined to keep us adoring him isn’t he! (swoon)
