A few photos of new Arrivals (and some old ones)

this is our new pony Bonny. An 8 year old 10hh TimorxShetland she is currently in foal to a chestnut and white 9hh cat B mini stallion, her third foal by him. She is due 2-5 November and once the foal is a bit older Steph will start working with her to become a lead rein and then first ridden pony. Her foal well we shall see :)

Markissa did not realise horses came so small

goats as always have to be involved - this is the buck (who is most likely sterile), Ruby and the wether kid of Amber

This is Sapphire our new milking goat and her buck kid.

Ronan, with the buck kid, Sapphire and Amber

And Connor has to be involved in his way too :P

Photos for Grandma

They boys had a train ride on Ronan's birthday

I think this was Ronan's first attempt with a spoon

Ronan's 1st birthday

Connor's first deer, we went for a walk on Ronan's b'day to find some rabbits, but he was over the moon when we found this instead and stalked into 5m from it! He has it as a rug now

Whilst Connor and I were out hunting one evening, we encountered what we thought to be a endangered falcon, Connor wanted to rescue it, so we abandoned the hunt, and drove the 5km on the quad bike with this wrapped up in my T-shirt!!!! That was several months ago, it's still recovering in Masterton, but it turned out to be a common harrier, but very cool all the same!

Connor's obstacle course at Kinde.

A dinosaur I (yes me!!!) made for Connor

Ronan getting his first lesson on the tractor

My first stag :-).  One very happy Matthew, lots of effort was put into getting this stag

Trying to teach the boys that there is more to wildlife than just killing.
