What the donks think about hoof trimming 😜

In reality, they love it. It's their special manicure time. Most of our horses tolerate hoof trimming perfectly, but little Mini seriously loves this special moment.

First time on Louis' back. Although he's not technically a horse, the process is quite similar:

A good way to sit on them the first time is to just slide right over and land on the other side. If that goes well, you stay a few seconds.

We didn't expect any fireworks from Louis, but at 58 years old, I prefer to play it safe and take things one little step at a time.

🏇The three horsewomen of bad communication🏇🏇

Vesna mumbles, Lysette is basically deaf as a post and Elis' English needs serious work- together, they have joined forces to have a fun, giggly time, while having absolutely no idea what each other is on about 😊

Somehow, they rub along nicely and made light work clearing the trails this morning after a decent storm. They took our three most sensible ladies (Hope, Spring and Tali) to assist as there is a lot of stopping and starting involved, which can really razz up our more sporty types. This was followed by a mad dash for home when the storm decided it wasn't done yet and they cantered the last few kilometers back while wringing our shirts out😅
