Vogue is home

Our Vogue is home after a couple of months with our friend Louise Farnworth. Sadly is didn't work out, nobody's fault just not meant to be. While with Louise she qualified for Crufts. Thanks Louise for looking after her so well. Our girl will not be going anywhere again but she may still be shown by Louise on our behalf as she enjoyed it so much.

A few phone pics of the view on our ride out this morning. We went exploring accross the Grane road to check out the new bridle paths that will take us accross the West Pennine Moors when finished. There are some great rides opening up around here and we're having lots of fun. 

Mouthing Wish

Started Mouthing Wish this weekend. Had to buy a new mouthing bit...can't imagine what happened to my other one ;-) Also gave her a bath, she was a very good girl and we're finally getting somewhere with having her feet handled. As she's so wide I treated her to a barefoot treeless saddle too for when she's broken in.

Mouse in action

We were delighted to receive Mouse's first flyball dog award this week. She's already 3/4 of the way to her next one. Some photo's of Mouse in training. Well done Mouse we are very proud of you.

Wish in training

Lunged Wish for the first time today. She's a bit more of a challenge than Rohan and we had a couple of paddies but she soon settled and started listening.

Educating Rohan

Lunged Rohan for the first time in his riding tack today. He was such a good boy, this pony just lives to please you and such a quick learner. The bottom photo is Poppy who will be spending time with Rohan during the school holidays and helping to back him and get him going under saddle.
