I`d like to take this opportunity to thank once again all the bloggers out there, who have been kind, in there thoughts and words, once again I thank you. My OH, is now back to work? Although, it is only light work, and has learned to take it easy! Unfortunately, due to this illness we are selling her Cob, "Barney". I cant ride every horse! So something has to give. ......We have decided to sell all our poultry, and other fowl. Keeping 300 odd birds isnt entirely without its stress levels!
But I feel this is now the right time, dont know why, but maybe it just is. That leaves us with more time, for me, it means hopefully more riding, for the OH, more time with the Grand kids! I`m off to ride across the Cheviot hills again this July 4th, with some good friends and maybe some new ones.

Its become a regular thing, we change the routes, but the mileage is roughly the same, 75 miles in two days. I will post some piccies, and a narrative when its done, so you can all have a look see! But up till then its work, and get the wee beastie fit!
Its a little after 7am here, and the rain is coming down in buckets! So I`m off to catch up on a few zzzzz`s! Happy trails!

P/S Forgot to mention! Its Marches Season again!

  3. Good to see your OH is doing better. I totally understand about not being able to ride them all as I gaze at the 4 extras we have! But I'm too attached to let them go.

    Looking forward to pictures of your July 4th ride!

    Our hay was cut and is down right now. Hoping for at least another dry day until its baled.

  4. Your hay is cut? OMG! Around here, it will be at least another month! Thats assuming the weather holds good! I am loathe to sell the horse, but, and I dont say this lightly, sometimes, just sometimes. he is a ride and drive, so there will be plenty of takers, carriage driving round here is pretty big stuff! If he doesnt sell? Well he`ll stay for a while until he does, he`s not going just to any old place etc.

  6. I'm pleased to hear your OH is improving, but sorry to hear you are selling Barney. And of course, with a cob called Barnaby of my own, I am curious about yours. Have you got any pictures of him on your blog? Is there a link I can go to?
