Nature

never ceases to amaze me and the way Mother Nature tends to everything in her charge. The 20 odd mls of rain that we received the other day has sent the paddocks from brown to brown with a greenish hue with spikes of green grass trying desperately to reach the sun's rays. Some follow up would be perfect!

Today we did a shuffle of all the Massie Lodge residents: Vera and Trousers are now in the Horse Swimming Pool paddock, where they can calmly pick alongside their mates, Southern and Queenie.

Joie and Maddie are down the back paddock (big dam paddock) with Joie very happy for the above movement. This movement is getting ready for the arrival of Sweetie and Libby after weaning their fillies, Isabell and Lucy. I surely would love to be a fly on the wall to see Queen Joie and Queen Sweetie sort out the pecking order there. Um, I think I know who will win!

In the meantime, Sweetie and Libs and their fillies are in Rosie's paddock enjoying the pick before weaning time.

Jakey has been moved in with Oscar, however, this relationship has already shown some teething problems, so, Jakey will probably come back over to keep Jim company when Max leaves at the end of the week.

Lenny is keeping the darling Dirty Girl company in the stable yards - a match made in heaven.

Shorts and Floss are still in their respective yards and still being good girls. Adam is due out on Monday to give Floss's feet a going over and to reshoe her front feet.

The very handsome Jimbo will stay in the front yard when Max leaves as it will soon be time for him to be gelded.

All has settled down since the movements this morning and time for the humans to have some r&r before the start of the work week.

Life is good.

Helen & Evan.

The very handsome young Jimbo, who has a date with Monika in the
next few weeks to be gelded.
