Pastures New

Well, we are in our new field and very nice it is too. We had our first look at it on Monday, which as it happened was the most gorgeous sunny day. We had to change our routine completely which was quite exciting. Every day since we have been here we have seen the older horses go out of the yard in the far corner through the big gate that mysteriously opens all by itself, and have wondered where they have been going. Well to our new field was the answer. Out of the gate we turned right, went through another field and then into this lovely new pasture. Its very nice with a water trough right in the middle and a field shelter - how smart is that! We now have lovely views right over the valley as we are on a slope and get a great view of the cricket ground as well. I wonder if we will still be here when they start playing - if so we can learn exactly what cricket is all about.

We are also right next to the field with the llama and go and talk to him over the fence every day - he's really quite a friendly chap and comes right up to rub noses with us. I wasn't too sure about this at first but am now quite used to him.

The weather has been so warm that we are starting to loose our lovely woolly winter coats, which means that our hair is coming out in great handfuls when we are groomed. I heard The Gaffer say that the birds would like it for nesting material! I suppose in our little way we are recycling. The only down side of all this moulting is that it makes us a bit itchy and sensitive when we're being groomed but I think that we will look very smart when we are in our shiny summer coats.

Bye for now Thelma
