Bringing our Wildlife to you!
Val, every thing that you saw Bliss and Misty do is what they have learnt in the breaking process. When they turn they are being controlled by the reins and the riders legs, by the gentle pulling of the rein to the left or right is the direction they go. Pulling evenly on the reins […]

I seemed to have had a few broadband problems today. I lost my connection on one of my computers a few times and the webcams went down. They seem OK at the moment. Both SWT cameras have been off for a few days, I have phoned to try to see what the problem is, but […]
I hope that those who managed to see Bliss and Misty on the webcams this morning, enjoyed seeing them working. A couple of you got their names the wrong way round. Bliss is the Bay (Brown) and is Lady’s Foal, Misty is the Dark Bay (Black) out of Woody. Bliss is going exceptionally well. In […]
We have friends here tonight so the Diary is very short. We got the camera going this afternoon to show you Bliss and Misty working tomorrow. The picture is not as good as I would like, as some of you may have seen this afternoon when we tried it out. The length of the cable […]
I went and got three decoy Ducks today to try to make my own remote controlled model Duck, so that I can put a camera on it. I phoned some suppliers in the USA, but what they can supply me will still need me doing some work on to get it as I want. I […]
Sue, I try to feed the Badgers earlier so that I can see what I am doing. Although the Badgers Sett is very close to the Farm House, on both places that I put the food down I have to climb up a steep embankment to get to the feeding places. Getting to the main […]
There has not a lot been happening on the Farm today. We lunged Bliss and Misty again. Bliss went exceptionally well, with some one walking by her side, she was going from halt to walk to trot and back again, all on voice commands. For the last few minute of the lungeing session she did […]
We lunged Bliss and Misty in the sand school for the first time today. Horses are more often than not lunged before riding. Knowing Bliss and Misty it was important to ride them first. Lunging teaches horses to go in to different phases of walking, trotting, canter and halt on voice command. Lungeing also helps […]
It looks very much like we have got lucky with weaning Willow. I haven’t seen her taking milk from Lady for about a week. I thought that it could have been that I have missed it. But on checking Lady’s udder tonight she looks pretty well dry. It could well be that it has been […]
