[ad_1] Looking at this lot today, I can honestly say they are never going to be show ponies. This is mostly because I can’t be arsed to go through all the palaver of getting them show-ready – I mean, where would you begin with Waffle? Bung him in the shower? And partly because I know […]
Frosty Ponies | My Shetland
[ad_1] I wasn’t expecting to be met this morning by such a hard frost from last night. It was spectacular. The world was white and crunchy. The Shetland ponies were covered in frost and it best showed up on the darker ones. Waffle Newt Albie’s tail – top I took the ice out of the […]
Unpopular with Ponies | My Shetland
[ad_1] I am not popular with the ponies. I wormed them. Newt spat his out so I wormed him again and Waffle wore his, so I wormed him again too. Now they are all wormed. That’s Waffle’s distinctly unimpressed cross-at-me face. After the great worming debacle, I decided the Minions could not stay on the […]
Ponies in the Mist | My Shetland
[ad_1] Fivla today was last to her daily mineral/vitamin/TurmerAid bucket. The rest had cantered down while Fivla favoured a more sedate approach. She never hurries. And I had saved her bucket for her so she woul have her fair share. Fivla knows this. Fivla was a girl on a mission – just a rather slow […]
Revolting Ponies | My Shetland
[ad_1] Looking at the Minions today, I realised just how revolting they are. They all need a jolly good brush and the fault is all mine as I confess I have not been very diligent with my brushing routine. Ok, I haven’t been near them with any form of grooming tool all winter. Dirt keeps […]
Vampire Ponies | My Shetland
[ad_1] We brought the little boys inside this morning to assess their gait, laminitis, etc. After seeing Albie and Storm move, I have decided to go back a few steps. Yes, they are moving better but they are not 100% yet (but not needing painkillers either). Just a few more weeks, possibly. It is difficult […]
Rearranged the Ponies | My Shetland
[ad_1] The weather forecast is horrendous. Force 12 – seriously? So, today, while it was still calm(ish), I fed everyone a huge pile of fibre – the essential ingredient for good and effective equine central heating. I took seven bowls, hurled them over the fence and dished out the food like school slop. I had […]
