Settling In

Breeze and Wolfie

With 11 ponies at the yard it's pretty full on with all the work and Margaret's been putting in extra hours to lend a hand and make sure we're keeping on top of everything, which we are...the good weather certainly helps a lot too!  It is nice to see the herd together during the day.

Breeze is proving to be a photogenic chap!

Puffin's family have been to visit today and Puffin enjoyed their visit.  They have bought him a brand new headcollar and lots of treats for him and his friends!  Kate and Puffin, and Jake and Munchkin did some leading in the yard.  Puffin will be joining his family again on Tuesday so we've been working on separating Puffin and Breeze gradually, sometimes being together and sometimes apart (but with other "friends").  We are very aware of the importance of this as they are good friends - it is a big emotional change for them and by gradually separating them now we've been able to help support them with essential oils which we find makes a huge difference to helping them cope in these sorts of situations.

Star was in season when she arrived so that sent the boys into a bit of a stir, even though she was the other side of the fence!  All has calmed down now.  

Topsy enjoys having a rest - not everyone is lucky enough to have
their own unicorn!

Star approves of Margaret's choice of dinner selection!

Breeze and Wolfie have been paired up in the field at night so we hope this will prepare them well for their new home where they will have a new, secure, conservation patch.  Interestingly Breeze demolished a whole area of nettles next to the barn yesterday - thinking about it, we never noticed any nettles at Marsland - no human disturbance of course (or perhaps Breeze had already eaten them all)!

We took the video below of the pony reunion in the field on Friday late afternoon...
