Sheep and Shetland ponies

Now there’s a sight I thought I wouldn’t see.  Sheep and Shetland ponies together, albeit Fivla, on their way out of the paddock.  The chaps and chapesses seem to have overcome their mortal fear of ponies, though I doubt they will ever mingle with the boys on the track whose behaviour (chasing Lambie when small) will never be forgiven or forgotten.  But I guess the sheep know that Fivla has not moved fast in her lifetime – she doesn’t do speed – so they feel safe and confident around her.  They are also getting better about the other horses too.  It’s a good start and nice to see.

I think much of this new behaviour has to do with Gussie and Dahlia who really don’t mind the horses and ponies and can’t see the problem (possibly Lambie hasn’t told them about the chasing thing then).

Not much going on here, otherwise.

I sort of managed to capture the lunar eclipse the other night.  It was very windy so this is the best I could do.

And then I took this the next night so one day after a full moon, whatever that is – waning gibbous, I have just looked it up.
