Not posed fantastically, but much rounder in the tum!

A spot of posing….!

Went to see a fat, happy, blissed out Ellie pony – she is certainly at the stage of enjoying her pregnancy, but I think she’s getting the odd kick now! Must feel bizzarre for her as she has no idea, what with being AI-ed!!!

Photos to follow!!

Pictures to come…!! Hopefully a couple of jumping ones!

I hear hounds!

A bit later in the day

Happy days!

These last two pictures are courtesy of Steve Wright, many thanks.

So today is Boxing Day, traditionally time for a days hunting to blow the cobwebs away!!! Certainly managed that!! I used the GPS tracker on my phone, and we covered 6.05 miles (Boxing Day with our hunt is just a jolly round really!) and reached a top speed of 25mph, with an average of 5.5mph. Will be interesting to set it on a normal day out hunting.

The sight that greeted me this morning, was a small, old enough to know better, grey bouncy ball, rearing at her stable door….think someone knew what was coming!

Ellie is getting rounder, and is seeming quite chilled at the moment. She is the ‘giant’ of her field, standing 14.1h, as the others are all 12.2h and below!!! She is loving being out with babies and youngsters. Fingers crossed that is a good sign for her impending motherhood!

Have also spent time clipping for other people this winter – I find it very theraputic, turning a scruffy, hairy beast into a smart, sleek animal.

Not long til Christmas now – all ready to go!!!

Took Holly out with the Readyfield Bloodhounds on Rememberance Sunday. Absolutly gorgeous day for the meet, and in a lovely setting – Proper Leicestershire countryside.

Achieved a lifetime first – we jumped a 5 bar gate!

A few photos from the morning

Clipped Holly & Callie last week – Holly was her normal silly self, Callie stood like a rock. What a fantastic baby pony!

Went cubbing with the Readyfield Bloodhounds last Sunday on Holly. Had an absolutely superb day. Excellent ground, excellent hospitality, excellent jumping. What more can you ask for of a day?

Callie is growing up fantastically, and I measured her to approximately 141.5cm, so shes heading in the right direction too. Ellie is getting a noticeably bigger tum, even though she seems to be trying to hold it in as much as possible!

Incredibly hot day, so we got her a day stable rather than standing on the trailer, so she took full advantage, and lay down for a nap.

She is graded into the Preliminary studbook, but has a mark eligible of the Main Studbook, this is due to her lack of pedigree on the dam’s side, which I am going to endevour to find out as much as possible.

A few pics of the girl herself now…

Plaiting before dawn – she wasn’t sure about getting up at this time!

So what’s the party then!?

“My new career is modelling”

Ircos Mysteree Elhee (Ellie) is bathed and tucking into a nice haynet, keeping herself clean and shiney for tommorrow.

Our new rugs have arrived too – very exciting

Fantastic quality, and excellent service from The Embriodery Centre, East Leake, Leicestershire – No website I’m afraid.

Wish us luck!
