nothing beats a good roll in the snow
Emily fell out of a tree with a THUMP and the horses galloped away, they did,nt go far and came back to graze peacefully among the trees again.
horses are tougher than we think!!, they have sheltered places but when we visit them are happy to hang out high up on the flat just to be nosy
A cold day, grazing hard before the snow comes.
Introducing a new horse to the herd. Part of the herd stayed put , these young ones thought yee haa lets play 'whose the boss'!
as the frost thawed boulders became loose on the shingle screes, once again the nosy horses had to have a peek where rumbling tumbling sound came from.
relaxed on a warm summer day
Herd instinct and being a horse ! Willow telling these two young new comers just where they stand in the peeking order!.
Buckskins and palominos hanging out together on the hill.
soxs a palomino goat that thinks its a horse, enjoying the company of the buckskins and palomino horses.
Three very preggy Mares...all our broodmares are ridden to keep fit and healthy, they have wonderful quiet minds...Emily and Zinnia like to catch lifts on the horses so they don't have to walk up hill!!!!!
