We delivered Dad out to his next DRY weather job, carting gravel for gateways.
I got a look at the breeders too, this is a fresh paddock, still going strong although dependent on weather we may shift these to another paddock. Our green date is the 15th of December, i.e. we expect to have received at least 2 inches by that date. If it doesn't we will move them into our best paddocks and when it rains get them back into their own paddock. Not an easy job to shift a lot of breeders and calves but their welfare is extremely important.
After we delivered Dad we came across the horses.
This is Grace and her new foal to One Moore Playboy.
Note: in the background Honda and Fantasy (half sisters and in their 30s) are now retired. They didn't come up for a pat, they may have thought we had alterior motives.
Meet Grace's foal from last year, also to One Moore Playboy, she is beautiful and has a kind eye. She won't be broken in until next year.
This is Fantasy's last foal, Butter, she has a tonne of personality and was broken in last year.
She has a kind eye and husband will do a bit with her next year. Rohan has gotten so keen on his horses. He had a small buster a few weeks ago which makes the heart flutter, so we are on the hunt for a decent horse for him....not an easy thing to find.
tell me about trying to find a decent quiet kids horse - at a reasonable price. Found one this year, have one old well loved fellow (getting long in the tooth) and two pensioned off. Poor old things (they know all about ulterior motives as well) And aren't the One Moore horses just lovely, seen a few of the One Moore Daddy ones around (if I have remembered Mac Shann's horse correctly?!)
ReplyDeleteDry and hot, hard to remember that we had 2" a few weeks ago...how extra awful would it be if we hadn't!
