Go ahead, make my day!
Every morning I let Vitamin out of her “cell” to eat her daily bucket while the others are left behind. All seven of them. And afterwards, Vitamin strolls off to enjoy the thick lush g…

Breakfast Time
Nothing much to say today. Just the usual really. Here is breakfast for those that have breakfast (Haakon and Iacs, plus Vitamin) and, of course, Pepper comes too. Her job is to clear up. Pepper se…

Please Identify!
Apologies for the worst photos in the world – I only had my camera phone to hand at the time. Anywho, I was driving back home from the vet with Little Miss Pepperpot who was now sporting a co…

Hunter-Gatherer
Daisy: Mum, has Pepper got something? Me: No, I don’t think so. I can’t see anything….. oh dear God, please no. Pepper: I have a new little friend and he is mine and I luffs him…

Gross little dog!
A Girl and Her Cat!
This morning saw me in my shed trying to make a sheep. We have a full social diary at the moment so I am grabbing felting moments when I can. Everyone was with me. Felting a sheep was not an easy …

A lovely walk
Winter Fields
The three big fields that I usually use for the Minions were not used this year because the grass was too lush and green. Last year, both Tiddles and Waffle had laminitis. So I left the grass to g…

Where are they now?
Daisy went back south yesterday evening – that’s her plane arriving, which then quickly turned around to take her away. And, yes, when we go to the airport, we have to drive over the r…

Shetland ponies in sweaters - now.
A Good Brush
I brushed the Minions today. It was hard work mostly because once I started, I decided I should brush them all. All eight of them. I had not planned this. Silver – who was actually a very …

All beautiful now
A Matter of Choice
The weather forecast for the next few hours is pretty grotty. Lots of rain. I deliberated all day whether to open the gates and let Haakon and Iacs up, so they could use the stable for shelter. On…

Happy Gotcha Day to Pepper!
This time last year Daisy and I went to Aberdeen to collect Pepper and her sister to bring them home to Shetland. Pepper’s sister then went off to her new home. I’m not going to lie to…

Ladies Home
The wind is getting up now and a northerly gale is forecast over the next few days so OH and I went over to the Minions’ field to bring home Fivla and Vitamin. At least at home they have free…

Hungry Hippos
I am not popular. The ladies are still complaining so, as the wind is dropping now, I will drive them back to their herd tomorrow. Just don’t say I didn’t try. Anywho, this morning, ar…

No pretty pics, sorry!
Took Them Back
The wind has eased. It is still cold but Fivla and Vitamin are not really settled with me so this morning I loaded them into the horse-van and drove them back to their herd. Instantly there was a c…

Przewalski’s horses

Dog Walk on the Beach
While I went to feed Vitamin and, yes, now Fivla (just a small something with her TurmerAid as winter is coming), I dropped OH with Pepper and Ted at the beach first. Once the ponies were fed and c…
