Horse-yard drama 2

I do realize that my blogging has been less than regular since kids camp, but if you where here you'd understand why; there is soooo much to do and at the end of the day the last thing I feel like doing is going down to the office through the dark and the rain (the weather is unbelievable) just to entertain you guys, but I do apologise!

Horse-yard drama; part 2

So a lot has happened since you last heard of the horses in the yard; Peckles and Quiz have since then made up again, when Quizes girlfriend was returned to her owner she gave in to Peckles' attempts to have her forgive him and things have never been better between those two. And shows have started coming frequently, so they are kept very busy and are away competing for several days in a row almost once a week.

This morning they were let out to have a graze a few hours before they were to be loaded into the truck to go away again; and looked oh so pleased running around for a while before settling down. But after a while they apparently had enough; and promptly jumped out over the gate (and its one high gate) and took of up the driveway and onto the highway and just kept going! Luckily though there were some other horses further down the road and as they stopped to talk to them T and his mate caught up in the truck and managed to grab them...

Back at the farm T asked me if the gate was ok, or had they cleared it entirely? When I told him they must have sailed over cause the gate was fine; I could almost see a hint of pride go over his face lol; Quiz and Peckles are showjumpers alright!

So as you have probably seen in my previous post; Minka finally had her foal! I came down one rainy (suprise) morning and there he was (though it took 4 days til we were sure it was a he cause his mummy didnt want us too close to him at first) and the lovely Minka chose to have her foal when Dee had a day off (hehehe!) so I got to see it first; its Dee's turn to name a horse though, (I got to name Tinuvíel so) and she's sure taking her time... But anyway, he's a cheeky little thing; we managed to get a mini-shetland headcollar on him the other day but it was slightly large so I made him another one...

Tinuvíel was put out the back with the trekers a couple of days but at one point when they were brought in she broke the fence (suprise) and landed (believe it or no) in the bitchiest and most evil mare's paddock. Those who witnessed it held their breaths as the horses went up to greet each other but amazingly Tinuvíel was not killed and the two actually get along, well, Tinuvíel gets bossed around a lot but otherwise they are fine!
