It's very pretty but will it go?
 We were all raring to go, started giving everyone a trim and a polish.
 Surfed the FFE Compet site to see where were first headed,started to bother about all the various tasks involved in getting the youngsters ready to compete here, signalements and registrations, all that jazz.
 Started practicing my squat thrusts to get my competition medical, competition licence etc.
 Then the snow returns, what's more; it's still here and we're back at the grindstone just p...

Chucking our tuppence worth into the Plus size Model debate, we thought it a good idea to show off our very own candidate with a view to possibly being spotted by a top modelling agency and signed up for a hefty fee. Muddy Dog, sporting a two piece fit for Miss Moss, is looking forward to her imminent pups and  wondering what all the fuss is about...

So we've been rigging up a little shelter at the bottom beside him for the two boys to go into until Monty is settled enough to go back out ...

Alright for some, some might say. Today of all days, as the global summit on climate change in Copenhagen has passed its deadline for agreement with suprise suprise, no agreement, we're suffering the concequences (some might say) of climate change. Fancy that, it's the winter and we've got snow!
In our efforts to be ecologically aware we thought maybe it would be sound to go and check out if out current spot of "freak weather" was up to scratch and proper winter snow or just the globaly warme...

 Because we haven't got enough to do we thought we'd infill today teaching the horses to snowboard. Ned was pretty in to it, as you can see. We won't have the money to afford the real thing for a while so it was a wee taster, trudging up hills and bumping back down, grating over rocks and other debris!
