Evan and I farewelled Joie today as she left Massie Lodge to start the next phase of her life. With Joie gone it was time to move the mares around getting ready for the upcoming breeding season.Dirty Girl is now in with Creds (who can now breath a sigh of relief!) as both ladies are due in August and have been brought up to one of the yards near the house.
The most spoilt mare on the property and her mate Gossy are back in the paddock adjacent the house so that they can resume lawnmowing duties during the day.
The sweet, sweet little Angel has gone with her mate Trix to join Daisy and Maxine in the 5 acre paddock. The 4 ladies get on like a house on fire and have had a great day just picking and enjoying their space. When we led Trix and Angel down the back - Evan took Angel and she was such a good girl to lead - even Trix was a good girl.
Balls has left the stable yard and is now in the day yard next to Dirty and Creds (he likes the company of the ladies).
Nottie and Southern are now together - they're not due until late November and December so they will be moved later on.
It's funny Joie going after all this time.... you know she was a real "Drama Queen" and a real bossy britches with the other mares, but she always had time for a cuddle and a scratch behind her ear. Both Evan and I wish Joie and her owners all the best for the future.
