Libby takes us across 40 acres *PICS*

[Soot]

Time for a Libby update.
I have been riding her as often as possible and I've remained master of her throughout her tantrums. I feel really torn. I *can* ride her, but I'm not enjoying it any more. If I could get rid of her and know she would have a great life, then I'd do so at once. Ah well, we're stuck with each other for now, Libby & me!

Here are some nice pics of Libby looking for her buddies after a ride. Our pasture is 40 acres. There are 20-something horses in there at the moment, but they are little more than specks in the distance! Luckily Libby comes to call or I don't think I'd be going looking for her .

The trough is right by the gate, so they have to fill up before they go out into the big wide beyond!

And so the journey begins. We have a muddy area of about 1/4 acres around the main gate, where all the horses congregate when they're waiting to come in.

Then there are several options of pathways into the pasture. Buttercup problem we have indeed! Our pasture reaches as far as you can see on this pic!

With so much space, it's not always easy to find your friends ...

Luckily they have powerful voices to let you know where they are (unfortunately for me, UP the hill *pant pant*).

A quick confirmation

And we're off!

Finally - the herd!

And her best friend (of the week *lol*): Bella-cob.

Hope you enjoyed

how what a lovely habbitat for a horse, such a natural way to keep her, i think its lovely, my horse has got 1/2 acre to his self and no buddies to have fun with what a lucky lady she is, ps i love the pics of journey

That just made me smile on this dreary Tuesday back at work. They all look so happy.

It's a lovely mixed herd of TBs, warmbloods, natives and cobs!

Sometimes the winters can be harsh (the other side of that crest is the SEA! Bit breezy up there sometimes!), but the rest of the year more than makes up for it .

 

[lauraandharvey]

[katie11]

lovely pics - what a fab place to be!

 

[candy-floss]

i bet you could spend all day just up on that field wandering around!

 

[pedilia]

Lovely different set of photos, if any one of mine were on there they would never be seen again

Are they all as easy as Libby to catch?

 

[beanz's mum]

i bet you could spend all day just up on that field wandering around!

Yeh... You get lost so you have no choice but to stay up there wandering around trying to find your way back

Its gorgeous!

 

[Soot]

Are they all as easy as Libby to catch?

Yup!
They all come to call individually ...
And occasionally as a group, which as a bit intimidating when you're standing at the bottom of the hill and they all come thundering down!

There's only one mare who is rarely seen. A New Forest who decided when her owner got pregnant that she would turn herself away for a year .

 

[Anna-Marie :)]

wow check out the size of that field!

shes lush

 

[Wotsit]

Yup!
A New Forest who decided when her owner got pregnant that she would turn herself away for a year .

Now there's a horse after my own heart If only I could do that with work!

 

[Jay_Horse]
