Funeral Escort
Queenie was asked to lead the funeral procession of a local chap who had spent a lifetime working with shire horses.
The Birth of Duke
When at first all seems well but suddenly you're faced with losing your new born foal.
Horsey Hugs
Nothing beats a horsey hug - Jasper puts his head down so that I can secure my hands behind his neck, then he lifts me up, perfect :-)
Plaiting Preparation
From a young age I brush, plait and pull the horses’ manes and tails about so that by the time they're old enough to show they''ll be used to it and hopefully won't protest and misbehave.
Show Preparations
The time spent washing, grooming and practising plaiting before the show. Time saving tips also included.
Washing Feathers
I took to using soap flakes, soft soap and wood flour for better results and saving time.
How NOT To Back A Stallion
Not the safest way to back a stallion, but Jasper is definitely a calm and gentle soul.
