Much of the weekend was spent off the ground for the rest of the family.
DH and nephew were putting up struts for the roof over the roundyard. Nephew is the one wearing the hat! Lol, tractors can be so versatile :).
As Dad was building the apprentice horsebreaker had to lead out the unbroken horse. Most of the muscle is supplied by her 4 legged partner. She's the brains of the duo!
Even the insects were busy....bzzzzzzzz
These 2 loafers were spectating, and practicing being house cows, and decided to camp under the guava tree IN the house yard! Naughty babies!!
Hope you've enjoyed sharing our lovely weekend.
Cheers,
Robyn
Loved seeing your horses. Any advice on my horse, Silver... beautiful palamino mare - half arab half welsh mountain pony. She fattens up on anything she eats!!! Any diet secrets for fat ponies??
ReplyDeleteThe welsh part is the fat part as we have an aged purebred Welsh 'A'! All I can suggest is a 'thin' paddock with lots of native grasses and limited clover, kikuyu or other improved grazing. Alternately, locking them away from the grass overnight sometimes helps as that's about 8-10 hours they can't eat plus the "nanny nap" old mares have in the morning or afternoon :).
