Pics of Nelly

Well, we had a wee handling session today, some forward and back... she had her mane brushed, and loved it... also started to have a vetadine bath, but I only got her face, neck and shoulder done, as I am a bit worried about getting myself hurt. She is eating well now and seems to be settling.

Pony shrunk and became a mare =0P


This is the new rescue girl, she is very sweet and trusting... likes having pats and eating well

Rescue pony to arrive today!


Well after the property check yesterday I am getting a new addition today... a 5 year old sundon gelding... he is one to the ones in better condition... I hope to have some more recent pics soon... this one comes from Rahn, who together with Lisa have done a great job for these guys.

YAY


We have got the tack shed area ready for concrete, so are waiting to get it pored... Also looking to find a door an window at the moment.
Billy and Abbs are still fat and hairy, and hanging out.... as is Teddy.
Recently in Canterbury a number of horses were rescued from a breeder in Halswell... I have put my name down to foster one, so will maybe getting one this week, but we will see.
In other news I am also 13 weeks pregnant, not at all horseie, but perhaps a reason for the ponies being turned out and fat and hairy!
We are also having a heat pump installed on the 28th and I cant wait!! yay!!


All the ponies have the farrier tonight, and Abbs had her teeth done on Monday, now down to 6 monthly visits!! yeharrr

Things are happening!

We have moved the tack shed shed, out from the 6bay shed to start building the tack room! This will also be used to house some excess furniture etc, and hopefully also mean the garage can be used for cars (shock horror)...
This weekend I am hoping to get the floor leveled, and maybe boxed... also the same for in front of the horse boxes...
We still need some hay to move before we can concrete, but hopefully in the next few weeks we can get a bit shifted...
I have also moved the gg's from the quarantine paddock that they were moving down as I have offered to take a quite Halswell rescue horse, but unsure if they will have one suitable for me...
Bills and Abbs are getting hairy and fat, and have been enjoying the lovely weather for the past 2 days.
Teddy is looking like a puff ball... I will start to walk him or jog him behind the quad down to feed out the others at night time for some much needed exercise!

Well,

Not much to add, Bills is still resting... and enjoying getting grass!
Abbie is coming home tomorrow for a break, will be funny to have her home again.
I have got everyones winter covers sorted, so feeling very happy about that. Also planning on making the tack shed, to remove alot of furniture etc from the house and garage... The nights are definitely starting to get colder already, think winter wont be far off this year.
Still have a stack of hay to get sold... and managed to get some lucerne last weekend...
Duckie has gone to live with Anita, and has made some new friends, so thats great news.....
