29th January 2009- Rosa settling in

1/29/2009

0 Comments

 

Rosa is getting much more settled with her new friends. Today she went out with Bertie who is much older than her and so would not chase her round. He was very happy to have her for company and was very interested in following her round- but only at his own pace! She was much happier with Bertie as the day before she had been out on her own but could not settle as was too excited.

27th January- Rosa and Maisey reunited

1/27/2009

Today Rosa came to join her mum at the stables. Rosa is Maisey's foal and will be two this summer. She was excited to get here and was pleased to see the other horses. They were all in as the weather was poor so there was no real chance to see the other horses but she did meet her mum. Rosa seemed to recognise her mum or at least was pleased to see her. Maisey wasn't too impressed and pulled faces at first but showed more interest after having a good look at her. Rosa was happy pulling faces at her next door neighbour mini but Maisey ignored them both and was much more interested in her new likkit.

This is a photo of Rosa at her previous home when she was much younger with her mum in the background.


Maisey and Rosa take a first look at each other... its been a long time!!


Rosa is there to meet everyone as they come home from school!

21st of January- Rubber Matting Arrives!

1/21/2009

0 Comments

 

Today the rubber matting for the four back stables arrived. Unfortunately because of the mud the lorry delivering it was unable to drive all the way to the stables so it was unloaded at the gate. As it weighed over a tonne it was very difficult to move but between three of us: George, Justine and Diana, we managed to fit the matting into the stables. With this matting very little bedding is required and so it saves a lot of money each week. It is also much comfier for the horses and better for their legs and breathing as there is little or no dusty bedding. Many thanks to all those who helped put the bedding in place and all who supported the funding for this bedding.

6th January 2009- Snow

1/6/2009

Happy New Year!
The last week has been an exceptionally cold one which has made everything at the stables difficult. THe horses have enjoyed being out in the snow but have had to have extra hay as they were unable to reach the grass. Unfortunately the poor weather means that many of the ponies have been unable to go out for their exercise in the week so are getting a little bored and Indy who is recovering from injury is unable to stretch her legs as it is simply too icy. Any help putting the horses in would be greatly appreciated as everything takes twice as long as normal in the cold weather!

    I am the Chair of the Committee that runs Summerfield Stables. I like helping out with the horses as much as I can but I find it hard to find the time.
