Sprrrrrrrrring??

After a bit of rain yesterday and frost last night (random) sunny day - bits of grass are starting to show.  After a winter of near despair when we re-seeded and ploughed the fields I'd forgotten how good they look.  Farmer reckons we will have more grass then ever this year so excited to see the seedlings come through.  Wagtails out on the barn roof - ponies out in the fields playing and the cats are sunbathing of course.

Had hoped Wunderstriker-pants was getting better but now another setback a couple of days ago means we are having to do two poultices a day... the original one is STILL pussing after almost two weeks but hopefully we are doing all the right things - but buying his pain relief is getting quite costly now - poor little monkey

Duke continues to truck on - despite his disintegrating pedal bones he seems completely disinterested in flatwork or hacking but when jumping or galloping is on the menu we have a different horse.  So I still have to be careful but it seems like he wants to kick-on with the work and that he'd rather burn out than fade away... He has been wonderful with Olivia who I am giving lessons to weekly - he doesn't make it easy for her but she is learning quickly and he responds to her requests ...

Con-Air - will be missing his mum Steph this week as she goes snowboarding (no one here is jealous of course especially as it has been snowing out in Austria - great timing chick)  but if the weather works out he will get some lovely sun on his back and can start working on his summer coat which is bursting to come out


Poor Dawn has had a tough week - Dawn especially with a couple days being really unwell but her Little girl Lilly has been an amazing little star helping keep Caspa in his luxury hotel room ... and Caspa has been good and responded well to the physio work from Sara lets hope this sun and spring grass will help him get some weight back on!  but despite being a skinny Jim he is quite happy, bright and perky and doest mind pulling you along when it comes to being turned out in the mornings or being brought in for dinner at night ...
