Horse shoes and other things

Bradley went horse-riding today, and I took these photos while I watched him ride (which was brilliant today btw, he did a rising trot perfectly and she made him do lots of standing in the stirrups to make his legs stronger).

Another great example of recycling on the farm... Horse shoes are used as hooks for the reins.


Baby chicks. The mother hen was close by and scraping the soil for the chicks to find food.

Shetland pony. Not sure about his name. There are 2 of them that wander around the paddocks and arena. They're not tethered or fenced in at all. In fact, not many of the animals there are, and that's one of the reasons I like the place so much.
