Melanie is Treated to a Birthday Tish Wish


It is Melanie's birthday today and we thought Tish would like to come in and wish her a very Happy Birthday!
We have had quite a busy week, Becky and Sam went to The Donkey Sanctuary to undergo a course prior to a couple of donkeys joining us later on in the year. They dropped off a whole load of rugs and tack to go into Exeter sales and we raised a staggering £590! wonderful news. Newie has been rehomed and we have also taken in a new horse called Tipping Tim. He is taking a little time to settle in and is really quite unsound but we will try and do our best for him.
The horses are still electing to come in before they are supposed to - Aldo has quite a nasty little puncture wound on his fetlock (dangerously near his tendon) Scotty's has achieved a really nasty gash to his front upper leg, Sam remains on box rest as does Randy with his fractured pedal bone - but at least Mally and Whisky are now repaired and back in the field.
The beds are now almost all made up in preparation for the horses coming in for the long winter months but it is over 20 degrees today so winter seems quite a long time off.
