First Show of the year

Glenn and Poppy were BOB and Group 4

Bramble and Glenn were 2nd in Terrier veteran and 3rd in Junior handling with his friends Ria and Jasper winning his class and Kirsty and Ruby 4th also Chloe although not placed did really well as she had never taken place in the handling before.

Caitlin and Solo also had a very good day with 1st in Minor puppy and puppy group 2. Also in the handling class was very happy with her 2nd to Becky.

Ceilidh really enjoyed her day out with BOB and group 3.

No dog shows

Due to the ever ending severe weather we are not risking going to planned dog shows, Ceilidh above is enjoying the snow!!

We decided that we could clip the horses this is Francis with her owner Kate.

Caitlin with the probelm pony Honey!! What a joy she is turning out to be, stood like a pro to be clipped then off round the field with Caitlin to show her clip off!! Hopefully we will be dogshowing next weekend although we hope the weather will warm up a bit as it is the auction mart in Inverurie for the show.

Honey's first hack out

Today we should have been at the first dogshow of the year. We are still having lots of snow and the road between us and Aviemore was not good yesterday so we thought we would not take the risk!! So Caitlin decided that we would all go out with the horses, I am on Saracen you can just see his ear!!

Happy New Year

We would like to wish all a Happy and exciting New Year!!!

Snow

The dogs enjoying the snow!!

Caitlin and Honey are now having fun under the saddle !!

The horse listener

Last night Sheila came along to listen to Honey! Straight away she said that Honey was unbalanced which stemed from the fact she cannot keep a possible vitamin in her diet! Also that Honey is happy with us but that we are taking things too slowly for her and she needs to be kept active! Honey does not like the fact that one of the other horses in the yard shows no respect for her owners and will not stand when being tacked up! She hates bad manners at feed time. It was a wierd experience and quiet a bit of what was said really did ring true. Today I am going for a pro-biotic to help with absorption although any other ideas very well come!!

Honey

In July we posted that Caitlin and Honey were slowly working at the join up method. We are pleased to say that since then we have managed to have Caitlin riding Honey at walk on the lunge. To night we are having someone come along to listen to Honey and see if there is anything else we can do to help her along.
