My friend and trainer, Bjørn Roar Larsen of Bergli Stud, has got a poorly owie foot and was finding driving difficult so I volunteered my taxiing services. I honestly didn’t mind. I had done all my chores – everywhere was mucked out and everyone was fed huge amounts of hard feed and silage.
So, we went to feed some hay to his youngstock Shetland ponies who live in a huge (possibly 50 acre) field. It is an incredible field. Just huge.
I didn’t so much as “help” as stand in the way taking photos, because that is my idea of helping and my back is not up to lugging bales of hay.
I do like Bjørn’s youngstock. There was even a few nose kisseys from those that wanted to see people more than hay and that is always lovely.
I wandered about taking photos in the winter sunlight. Bliss.
They are happy little fat Shetland ponies in winter looking all hairy and perfect – my idea of good day.
This is how Shetland ponies should be. Living outside but pleased to see the hay but more pleased to see the people!
I do ❤ Shetland ponies. I hope you do, too. So important.
lovely load of shetlands – what happens to them, go to the sales? is it economic?
They are loved
Oh, so absolutely blissful to see these photos, Thank You!!!!
what baby faces!!!!!!!!!! xoxoxooxoxox
Oh, I do love Shetland ponies too! And I proudly use my very special 3-adorable-ponies grocery bag! (do you happen to know their names? — Dec. 15 Advent photo) No matter. They all look so wild and wooly. Who would guess that they like nose kissies sometimes too?
Thanks for today’s post — and I hope Mr. Larsen’s foot improves soon.
Gorgeous, just gorgeous
Love your photos as usual !!!
Loverly!
so much adorableness!!
Oh just LOOK at them all. They are beautiful.
