 I think I might have mentioned before how difficult and time consuming being me can be sometimes! At the moment, I have both big horses back in work and the little pony, so if you combine that with working, and trying to be a good Mum and trying to keep a tidy house, there just arent enough hours in the day (truth be known that one of those things gets pretty much ignored...hence the prehistoric dust bunnies hiding in the corners of almost every room in my house!) so I've become very good at juggling. Throw cold Autumn mornings and...

Move over Edwina T-A....   I feel as though I should be writing this weeks blog from a hospital bed...or at least in traction! Reason...Moosie-Moo and I went showjumping!!!! Yep, I thought I’d have a bit of a play with the painted poles for a bit of a change.   Silly me also thought “won’t be that bad...haven’t done it in a while...the instructor will only want to see a little of what we can do”. How wrong I was!!! Two days later and I still can’t manage to walk up or down stairs, and putting on socks is not...

What a week!!!! This house has certainly had its fair share of horses with ailments, but that is of course having horses for you!!

Things were a little hairy for a few days, but he is thankfully on the mend now, but loving having a little bit of...

 Hello once again fellow Rubies!! I must firstly apologise for taking so long to get the next thrilling instalment of my life to you...but again, things have been super busy. Sometimes it seems as though I'm busy running on the spot, but every now and again I can fall into bed and feel as though I have managed to get everything crossed of my "daily list"....time management is NOT one of my strong points!! And sometimes I know I'm busy, but can't tell you what I'm busy doing...but I must be doing something...right?? Sadly my health hasn't been able to...

Over the past few days I’ve been really watching what’s going on in my paddocks. All 3 horse are now living together, which was a little scary at the start...I worry about big feet and big kicks, but seeing how the three of them have settled into a real mini-herd structure is quite interesting. Sometimes I think I can describe the personalities by comparing them to television characters...for example Moosie-Moo is so much like “The Freak” from Prisoner it’s a bit of a worry! Luckily Moo is a horse that is so cool, calm and collected and she handles change...
