It's been such a busy week! Monday started with a couple of spontaneous rescues...firstly a 16hh white spotted horse that Faye found in the road on her way to the ponies. It was a gorgeous looking horse - and all tacked up with his western saddle and bridle. Faye stopped her car to block the road (it was only a country lane) and caught up the horse. He was very friendly and had been fairly happy munching on the roadside verge. Walking along the road came his owner who had unfortunately fallen off some distance down the road. Thankfully she wasn't injured and declined the offer of tea etc. Horse and rider were reunited and off they went to finish the rest of their ride.
Immediately after that it was the Waitrose delivery man who needed rescuing after trying to follow his SatNav to find his way to the farm to deliver Ted and Jenny's shopping (he wasn't anywhere near)!
On Wednesday night Frodo managed to demolish a huge section of electric fencing - what probably took him a couple of minutes to destroy, took Faye all day on Thursday to reinstate. Once everything was back in place again, we tested the current and it is strong again...so hopefully that will keep everything in place and keep Frodo where he is meant to be!
We also are pleased to announce that our calendars are now sold out...so thank you everyone who has purchased them and supported us. We've had so many positive comments from people who have been delighted with them - and the calendars have gone far and wide - to Germany, Austria, Australia, and the USA!
We are also very pleased to say that we will be hosting a course next year for Vanessa Bee - Handling the Wild and Traumatised Horse...the dates will be released early next year!
And...there's more good news as we've heard from the NDAA that the hedgehog we rescued is doing well and is being looked after for the winter.
Thanks to Catherine for buying us an extra yard broom, Hazel-Ann and Graham for buying more oil for Topsy, and to Pat at The Horse's Voice for her extra donation for the ponies that she sent with her calendar order!
