Out for a wander

First...lets say hello
to a special visitor to today's Blog

......Hi Safi!!

Safi has been helping Gi by very ably mowing the lawn this weekend and I think she makes a very pretty garden implement as well as a lovely garden ornament!!

On to the star of the blog..... Bailarina had a good day today, she was very pleased to see us this afternoon and as she seemed so amenable and it was very quiet down at the yard we thought we'd all go for a little wander and see some scary stuff...on a Sunday afternoon whilst it wasn't quite so scary!

First off though Little B helped me poo pick by supervising the proceedings - just to make sure I was doing it properly!


Then we got all kitted up ready for a trundle round the farm...to meet a few scary monsters!



Only.....they didn't seem at all scary!! She just wandered around after me, following whatever I did, calmly and without fuss, earning herself lots of clicks and treats



So as it was all going so well we went past the fabricators where we'd met the forklift the other day...I was expecting a bit of hesitation because it had been quite a challenge for her.... um...nope!!!


Back round on to the yard to get up close and personal with a bus

And as you can see she wasn't bothered in the slightest!!!
What a superstar!!!!!

So she got lots of treats and then we trundled off to finish the circuit


Funnily enough the only time during the whole proceedings that there was any tension on the lead was 5 seconds after the last shot above...when she decided she couldn't walk past that horribly scary water trough you can see Spuddy heading towards and needed a tiny tweak for forwards!!!

I just couldn't have been more pleased with her today...onwards and upwards!

  3. As well as being a livery yard and a working farm some of the yard and buildings are let out as industrial units...we have a garage, a bus garage, some metal fabricators...it's actually a great place for getting youngsters - well any horse really, used to noises and an assortment of vehicles but off road and in a more controlled environment...a busy show or a walk down the road should then be a walk in the park (hopefully!!!!)
