The weather has been up and down of late, to say the least. Rugs on, rugs off. Out at night, back inside. Thankfully, the weather has dried up again and so the horses are staying out.
It arrived early! The new horse box has arrived hurrah! I spotted it as it was coming up to the crossroads just up from the yard and let out a squeal! We are so pleased with it, and Bob had a good nosey from the field when it was all opened up (the mares seen there was no food and lost immediate interest).
When your horse goes to Rossdales Equine Hospital and you go to A&E in the same week you know it isn't ideal! Travis has been out of work since June 2021.
We’ve had a lovely couple of weeks weather wise – the horses have adored being out in only fly rugs (and sometimes even naked too!), its so nice seeing the trees, plants and bushes come back to life with all the bright colours of flowers popping up.
Florence arriving back at the yard has altered things a little. She and Mabel are very close and so Diva was feeling put out. Lots of grumpy-faced little black pony and unimpressed Florence glaring at each other over the first few days until Mabel decided to share her time between the two.
Equesure Insurance is thrilled to be partnering with a renowned Tonbridge based equine duo, Janine Lamy and Martin Wright, who make the formidable Team Lamy Wright.
It was all change at the yard once more. With Treat having completed his horse walker regime, it was time for him to go home. As he doesn’t like travelling on his own, it was Diva’s turn to act as his companion for the journey.
We do hope everyone has been okay during the barrage of storms the other week! We were extremely lucky as we are in quite a sheltered spot (even though the wind was strong) as we are protected by the hills round us, sadly a friend just half a mile up the road wasn’t as lucky and had a lot of damage.
Well, what a week we’ve had weatherwise, storm Dennis swiftly followed by storm Eunice and oh joy another one, Franklin is here!
