Faie's been to visit us today so we went out for an adventure with Arthur on a circular route that we've never done before - he was such a good boy. We were delighted to see a couple of deer in the distance with a baby fawn tucked into the long grass! The route was about 3 miles long so a good practice for building up distance for the walk to Witheridge for St John's Fayre.
The good news is that we've managed to find a replacement insurer who will cover all our activities and the youngsters who come to help - it has pushed the cost up but it is a relief to have it all sorted!
Our thanks to Vistaprint this week (and to Margaret for persuading them!) as they've given us a discount on the cost of some new greetings cards that we've designed...hopefully they will be available on our stalls and website soon.
We are very pleased to say that Lulu is settled in her new home - we've had lots of lovely text message photos and I need to see if we can get them in email version so we can share them on the blog!
Nothing really to report from the Exmoor AGM - no discussion about any pony issues...just an awards ceremony really...and the wild ponies didn't seem to get any of those!
Our patron Neil Parish has been re-elected as MP, which is good news because he not only helps us with the equine issues we raise with our campaigning but he has an important role as chairperson of the APGAW (Animal Welfare) committee in Parliament.
Time is flying by...there's so much to do not only in terms of the work on the yard and with the ponies but with the admin things too! Thanks to Ted and Roger, the hay field is now all prepared for our hay crop which will hopefully be ready for cutting in July...depending on the weather of course!!!
Thank you again to Margaret for her donation this week and to Charlie for the haynet he donated.
