Baroque, lamb pictures is definitely what this thread needed. A little cuteness to lighten up the worry! :lol: Here are a few more photos then! Early days wandering around inside :lol: 20200908_154925.jpg A bit later 20200911_103037.jpg Some of the other lambs! 20201004_110736_resized.jpg

I still wear my mask in public when I leave the farm to do any shopping. Yesterday I was the only person I saw who used the app going into the supermarket and the only one wearing a mask too - despite the fact that we are all told to be careful, mask up in public, use the app when going into public ...

No holiday plans this year or next. We started planning to go to Spain again for mid year 2020, but just didn't get sorted and felt uneasy about making any bookings way back in January, then decided early in the year to have a local holiday and booked it all only to have it all cancelled because of ...

Here in NZ we are under a full level 4 lockdown. Most people are very compliant however there are still idiots who tempt fate and who just refuse to behave. We are working from home as an essential business, however many are just sitting around doing nothing. We are lucky that we are on the farm and...

Further to my nice polite Pikelet.. A couple of days ago I found him macramed to the fence, he had the wires firmly wrapped around his horn, he couldn't get free and he was not happy. At all! :shock: He's a big ram and probably weighs in at over 100kg, so he's a lot heavier and stronger than both of...

Pikelet is very handsome. Is he polite. My ram has suddenly started challenging humans. Ugh. Yes Pikelet is a very polite chap, he's 2yo and has been siring lambs since he was about 5mths old! The other 3 rams are also nice to handle and I can move them around easily by myself which helps. I'd be g...

Baroque, I was very excited to get your shawl and felted sheep. You grew sheared carded spun and crochet it. Its marvelous. Thank you. It only arrived last week. Thank you. You are so welcome! I was very worried it had fallen in a black hole as you can never tell with the post these days. It's prob...

I've been watching The Outsider which is based on a Stephen King book. It's creepy but I'm finding it strangely compelling watching. Some of my friends recommended The Witcher and Harlots so I might check them out too. I just finished series 3 of Fargo and am looking forward to watching series 5 of ...

Many thanks to my lovely Kringler for sending me a fantastic gift card for some more bobbins for my spinning wheel! I don't know your DD handle so won't put your name here but you know who you are!

Can I have an elf please

Well done!

When I gave up many years ago I found that acupuncture really helped reduce cravings to almost nothing, so you may find that helpful. And Ventolin will help with the tortured bronchial lung feeling.

Thanks PaulaO.

She's doing ok but it is such unnecessary pain for her just because people want to get their jollies from some explosives.

Well thanks to the lovely pyromaniac people who can't resist having their #$^@$&^ fireworks for stupid Guy Fawkes, I have a laminitic mare [aka The FatPony] with possibly a tendon injury and she's very sore all over which I think is due to galloping about the paddock like a mad thing and managin...

Fireworks, Guy Fawkes and the #$%#$^ who let them off in a rural area like ours. Every year we try to get private sales of the damned things banned and all the bleeding hearts whinge about it not being fair. What isn't fair is having to listen/be woken up by random explosions in the middle of the ni...

My horses are still all on holiday as it's winter here, and we are now about to start lambing. :roll: The weather has been awful here so I'm a wee bit worried how the newborns will cope and how my first time lambing hoggets will cope with it all too. They are all swelling bigger and bigger by the da...

So sorry to hear about your horses.
Colic is awful and the injury looks very nasty too. Sending healing thoughts (((hugs)))

Congratulations! You look lovely!

We got one for hubby for Xmas and it's fantastic. It clips to the side of a pan and the results from it so far have been fantastic. Just use ziplock bags or if you have a heatsealer you can make your own ones. It cooks steaks perfectly, we've done pork fillets, chicken and lamb in it so far, the mai...

Many thanks Sue it was a lovely present to receive!

Merry Christmas! Wishing you a wonderful time. ❤

This looks really fun! I am looking into it as well, more of the obstacle course stuff. Apart from the normal Working Equitation obstacles just think up lots of interesting challenges for your horse and have a play. I have lots of road cones in my arena which mark out the archery shooting lane, and...

Here are some photos from our show a few weeks ago which was his very first outing under saddle and after he'd had a very long holiday over the extremely wet winter and as a result of all my trips away to places like WEG etc... :lol: so he had the sum total of only 10 rides since May, with his first...

My Kringle package went off last Thursday however the post office said it would probably arrive at its destination after Christmas due to a backlog in the postal system.

Good for you ! I too had to ride in western tack a few times, it sure is a strange feeling. After a couple times, I almost liked it..LOL It's similar to my Spanish gear but not as comfortable to ride in and I have problems getting a proper seat in a Western saddle whereas the Spanish ones fit me an...

I need an elf please. I don't have my Kringle's email so I can't get in touch.

She was a bit like a wiggly table with wheels underneath but she had only had a handful of rides under saddle when I hopped on that day.

The WE single and double slalom obstacles would be good ones for practicing the flying changes. Those and the cloverleaf around the barrels.

Well he had a super rest over the winter, he had from the end of May - Oct off!

Hi all, I'm starting to try and organise my trip to WEG, and have found some shuttle services that you may be interested in using if you are going to the venue from Asheville or surrounding areas. I've booked my seat so I'm fine. 8-) Check out these guys: http://rallybus.net/world-equestrian-games-s...
