Yes, I know... Iam well aware its been a little bit since I have sat down and chewed the fat on the blog. Its been fairly hectic (which is normal pace around here!), and we have had visitors coming and going, Monika the vet and Adam the farrier, both visiting on a regular basis.
The main thing is that all residents are well, the humans are adapting to the cold mornings (barely) and the canines have been "digging in" and finding the warm spots in the house (mainly on the lounge with their doona).
There have been some coming and goings: Lenny and Jakey have been sold to an owner down in Dubbo and arrived there last week (I have been told that they were perfect first time travellers) and will be broken in as I write. I have a feeling that Jakey will be first cab off the rank as Lenny really was a baby in a man's body (lol)!
Buddy (Taimazov gelding) - or Budweiser to his friends (lol) has arrived back late last week from Paul Moody's and is having some R&R before travelling up North to realise his future. He is a lovely boy; really quiet and gentle.
Voodoo (Taimazov filly) - caught the same float back to Paul's place where she will get a good education and then will return to Massie Lodge for her R&R.
Harry (Imaged), has settled in well with Stephen Lowe and is going well. Rumour has it that he is just a quiet boy and has quickly earned the title of "Stable Favourite to ride"!
Mazwell, has settled in with Phil Quinnell after a bit of a shakey start. But from all reports has got into the daily rhythm of stable life and is with his good mate, Oscar (Tannerang Baluk), who is coming along "nicely".
Flossie (aka Fidgit), has also caught the float to Paul Moody's to be broken in. Her foot is standing up to work and Paul is quite pleased with her. She was really due to be broken in as well.
Rover (aka Kenny Kinjite) and Jimmy have settled in to paddock life together, with Rover being the boss... Jimmy such a quiet wee lad. Rover has a bit of a runny nose at the moment due to the cold snap, however, he is quickly growing his winter woolie coat to help him.
I am quite busy with working at Plaintree, but am loving every minute of it. I am lucky to be learning so much regarding breeding and the industry, like a pig in mud Iam!
Well, night has fallen at Massie Lodge and all the residents are fed, watered and content.
And so starts another week!
Helen & Evan.

Wee Jimmy trying to strike a pose, he is coming along nicely we think...
Evan with Dirty Girl, off on their daily walk. Yep, its long sleeve weather already.
Meggsie, who lives next to Shorts, alseep in the morning sun.
We were lucky to have Susie Black and Cecelia visit us a few weeks ago; Spikey-man in dog heaven on the back verandah with Ceelie.
The very handsome Buddy, just back from Paul Moody's late last week.
