Horses

You asked for it…

OK…
I get it.
You want more Rob Roy.
That little Thelwell pony who has invaded our home and our hearts.
With his cheeky little, fat little, round little, Shetland little, Rob Roy attitude.
I am only here to please… so here are some pics from his first day at ‘work’.

He and Dash were helping the boys at the yards to sort and weigh steers… well, he was there and providing some entertainment and serious moral support anyway!
All vitally important things in the day of a cattleman.

A little horse and little man amongst big horses, big people and lots of dust…

Cough cough!

Pagi doesn’t realise how much more dust there is at this level!

After the steers are safely yarded, we get down to some serious one-on-one. Off the lead. On our own. A little nervously…
First you’ve gotta get the feel of a new steed in a nice small yard…

OK, I just need to make sure he ain’t gonna buck Dad

Getting that confidence going… Good boy!

OK TLW, you can have a go. I’ve got the buck out of him!
She’s a natural…

It’s hard, hot work in those yards. A couple of young workers take a break.

And a long drink…

And a mouthful of grass (’cause a Shetland could starve if you’re not really careful!)

Til next time.

Ponies away!
