Well as promised I said I would write about the surprise that we had for us on the 21st December...
We came down like it was any other day. Sorted their feeds, hay and water and went to get them in. It was half past 6 at night and was dark already! being winter we were grateful of the lights in the yard- looking into getting some to light the 5 acre hay field! following our usual routine we brought in the stallion and his 'buddy' Wills first, then got Tia and Estrella.

Well now that we've finally got the internet and the computer working nicely together again I think I'll be posting a regular blog! We went to the BAPSH national championships at the begining of August. We took 6 - Estrella, Kantiana, Sharifa, Nena, Dulcinea and Nubarron. Dulcinea being the youngest was in the first class for yearlings. She was reasonably good considering it was her first show! She came 4th out of 6. Next was Nena in the 3 year old class, All horses over the age of 3 are require… Continue
