[ad_1] Daisy and I decided to open up a bit more of the track for the Minions – just some rough grass on a corner part. So now the ponies are skirting this bit while eyeing it suspiciously. Daisy even returned later on to show them the new grass but they didn’t believe her. Methinks […]
Veteran survives bear attack after animal accidentally bit spray can
[ad_1] He screamed as the bear – female grizzlies can weigh up to 25 stone in the US – stood on his back, biting and clawing his shoulder. “She bit one of my legs, picking me up and slamming me on the ground multiple times,” Mr Burke said. “She bit each leg from my buttocks […]
A Bit Blowy | My Shetland
[ad_1] This morning was interesting, to say the least, trying to feed horses and ponies in a Force 12 – around 60 mph wind. I was doing quite well, walking round the outside of the shed, using it as a windbreak, thinking “this is doable”, and then the wind hit me hard and all the […]
A Bit Wow!
[ad_1] This is probably the last of the gorgeous mornings for a while. We will soon be back to the usual dreich wind and rain that is far more likely for this time of year. Today’s sunrise was excellent. This time I had forgotten my scoop so had to use my bare hands to plonk […]
A Bit of Huffy-Puffy
[ad_1] These two (Waffle and Albie), and Silver managed to escape this morning and got into the long grass around the house. OH was mucking out their paddock and when he opened the gate for his full wheelbarrow, they must’ve bolted rudely through. After I had led Silver back into the field, I decided to […]
A Bit of History | My Shetland
[ad_1] Some photos from my dogwalk today at Leradale. The Original croft house – now derelict. The last of the flowers – all beginning to die down now. There is a real autumnal feel in the air. One of the enclosures in the field (and small dog). Some field terracing (possibly Bronze Age). Old field […]
A Bit Midgey | My Shetland
[ad_1] On the rare days the wind doesn’t blow in Shetland, the midges have to come out. The horses and ponies are used to it – they groom each other and swish their tails, sometimes walking endlessly to get away from them. Today I didn’t seem as affected as them, so I went out with […]
To the Hilly Bit
[ad_1] While feeding this lot….. Well, actually not this one… Or this one…. definitely not this one….. Nope, not him either. Just Fivla and Vitamin – the old ladies – as per usual. And snouts out, Newt! Anywho, I decided that the herd/flock/parliament/whatever needed to get out more in the field, so I put a […]
