4th December 2011

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmaaaaaas!  Our trees are up at home and Daisy is decorating the house whilst I work on the yard today. 

My friend Karen Bush has called in for a visit to exchange Christmas presents and to talk about a new horse book we are writing together and she has also given me a copy of her great new book entitled The Horse rider’s Hacking Handbook which will make excellent Christmas presents for some of my friends.

We have another new arrival on the yard in the (small) shape of a miniature Shetland who will winter here with us as he has come in from the RSPCA and needs a little work. He is tiny and very cute. Myrtle is quite taken with him and as he is a stallion he is naturally quite taken with her!

I have had some beautiful new post and rail fencing put in and although the mud is disgusting the farm is looking very lovely. If I didn’t own the land I would be suffering from paddock envy right now.  A beautiful buzzard was flying over the fields this morning and with the bulk of my work now done for the year I am looking forward to a quiet few weeks writing a book on the Difficult Horse with Karen, enjoying the peace here at the farm and revelling in the build up to Christmas which I thoroughly enjoy.
