I have never "blogged" before in fact if it wasn't for a good friends love of blogging I don't think I would've even heard of it. I am not great with computers we are uncomfortable allies so I don't know if I am doing this right or not.
I live with my husband and son aged 8. We share our home with 21 horses and ponies 2 dogs a cat and a peacock. As you can image life is very busy. Not all the horses are ours, however, we have stables and many of them are liveries. All day long people are coming and going. springfielsd has become a little community and I thought I would record this through the blog.
My husband has had a keen interest in horses all his life, I have come to this very late but Have been bitten by the bug and bore everybody I come into contact with my horse stories.This is ok around the stables but when I am at work I proberly become tedious. Only work part time as that is all I can fit in.
At present we have a number of escape artists on the yard headed by a 12 hands pony called Pip. He found a weak bit of the fence and 6 of the ponies went on the rampage. Fortunately they chose an understanding neighbour who could see the funny side of hoof prints in her garden, if they had headed into another neighbours garden who is a cross between Mr Meldrew and Mrs Bucket I think they may have been rounded and shot. Anyway they took themselves across the road found themselves another field and grazed there. When we went to fetch them Pip looked rather sheepish and head down lead the rebels back. thankfully none of them were hurt.
On Sunday I was really proud of my little boy as he won first place in a local show taking his pony inhand this was the first ever show for him and the pony and they did very well. Everyone from the yard went to cheer him on and his face when he found out he had won was a picture. I hope this the first of many. wednesday some of the girls from the yard are jumping at a local show so I wish them luck.
