An Overthinking Day | My Shetland
[ad_1] I wish I could stop this, but I have days when I just worry about the old horses. I can’t help myself. I just worry. I watch their every move and worry. I am feeling panicky and very anxious, especially today. This morning they were all just hanging around, not doing much, so I […]
A Bad Hair Day | My Shetland
[ad_1] Once I year, I go out with my brush, mane conditioning spray to try to make a difference. Today was that day and I was out with my grooming bucket as well as an anti-lice unguent. They are all very itchy. It’s the time of year. Winter coats off, and summer drawers on. There […]

Day in the Shed | My Shetland
[ad_1] I am frozen and have come inside to write the blog and warm up a bit (I currently have my feet on a hot water bottle trying to thaw). And the reason? I am having an “Open Weekend” selling all my and Kolka’s stuff to raise funds for well, everyone, I guess. Daisy helped […]
New Rug Day
[ad_1] As you know we’ve been living a rather higgledy-piggledy existence because we took up our sitting room old Persian rug to replace it with another and have been waiting for underlay (and, yes, of course I say ¡Ándale, ándale! every time!) Firstly, we tried to get rid of all the animals so we could […]
The Rainy Day Field | My Shetland
[ad_1] This is the “rainy day” field that I save for when things are tough and we need a bit more grass. I opened the gate yesterday and the old folk moved in like whippets and now they are almost deliberately goading the Minions about it. Poor, poor half-starved Minions. The horses eat at them, […]
Grot Day | My Shetland
[ad_1] Rain, rain and more rain. I am on coat/hat combo No 4 now, with wellies and over-trousers waiting in the porch on standby like the lifeboat crew. No one is enjoying this weather but everything was, as ever, done. I didn’t even skimp on Vitamin’s mouthwash and hoof spray. I will admit I thought […]
Duvet Day | My Shetland
[ad_1] The weather, as forecast, is filthy. Wind, wind and more wind (up to Force 11 at times) and occasional rain. OH kindly helped me to feed the horses and ponies and we hung hanging onto buckets and horses trying to keep upright. They all ate well and have shelter so I am not worried […]
A False Spring Day | My Shetland
[ad_1] It was lovely today. Blue sky and not a breath of wind. Just perfect. Days like these are called a False Spring – The term ‘false spring’ refers to a period in late winter or early spring when temperatures become unusually warm, before suddenly growing cold again. During a false spring, the warm weather […]
