All 6 of us equines are enjoying the return of the spring grass, the tinies are charging around playing tag with Donkey and we have been welcoming new clients to the farm. The new paddock vacuum is working a treat, and once I got over the shock of the noisy red poo machine in the paddock, I was quite impressed with the results.

This month saw us welcome a group of wonderful humans that mum called Veterans, for a thing called Veteran’s week. The nice people at Social Futures helped with all the organising, and the human food (though I got some of the apples hee hee) and getting the grant from the Department of Veterans Affairs to run the day/ A big shout out to our friends and Equine Assisted Therapists Jo Hall from True self Equine Therapy in Bathurst and Anna Preuss, from Coast to Country Yoga and Dressage who helped mum to run the day.

The group was small and intimate, and everyone had lots of time to spend with us after learning about Polyvagal Theory (mum will tell you more about that later) and coming to see us all lovely and grounded after their relaxation session.  I particularly enjoyed being Boss man that day as I got the mindful grooming and connection session (Ahhhh…).

Oh, and we have some interesting birds by the round yard – pretty spooky when they jump put at you mid lunge if you ask me. Oh, and the funny horse with the big ears mum calls “Donkey” has settled in a bit too well if you ask me, keeps trying to pinch my hay over the fence!

Well, that’s it from me, I need to go and discipline Red and do some eating…. lots of eating.
