White is the new black

Perhaps black isn't the best colour to wear when brushing a white mountain goat, oops I mean Shetland pony!

Nibs Nibbles Walker

Nibbles has arrived! She is possibly the hairiest Shetland I've ever seen, but nothing a few warm days and a bit of brushing won't fix.
No more questions about "when are we getting Nibbles?" from Angus, now it will just be "when can we brush Nibbles? when can we ride Nibbles?"

Chalk drawings

A favourite past time of all the kids is to do chalk drawings on the driveway. I thought I'd take a photo of these lovely master pieces and share them.

Abi admiring all their hard work.

Angus resting next to his duck.

Lilly

Lilly arrived safe and sound and her first day was made up of lots of carrots, riding by all the kids a tail wash and lots of brushing. I think she is happy and the kids are definitely eager to make sure she is well looked after and content.

Abi giving her a brush.
Emily patting Lilly (which she did about another 20 times that day).

Abi looking very proud on Lilly for the first time.

Abi smiling as she rides through the paddock.

Emily and Lilly looking very relaxed.

Angus going for a trot (with Daddy making sure that he doesn't slide off the side).
Angus happily sitting up on Lilly - he kept saying "Daddy, look at me! Emily, look at me!" etc.

The lovely Lilly.

The girls enjoying giving her tail a wash.
