Narramore Atlanta, seen here five weeks after backing, this was the first time Caroline had ridden her, this session made her retire her other horse and take this one on. 

Badger, a home bred horse by Ambertson ex Narramore Kelly Irish TB. 

Diamond at Hunter trial near Winkleigh, 2004. 

Ooops, there's a drop! 

Family pair showing that familiar determination! 

Any day now, and our woods will look like this. 

Out of the water. 

Selwyn, the Welsh Cob Caroline moved up to when she outgrew Mickey. 

This was at a Pony Club D day, this super pony won it three years running with three different riders...(no wonder I have loaned him out, if I ever have Grandchildren he's for them!) 

Mickey at a local show, we knew he should have had more topline, but were worried re possible laminitis, always a worry with small ponies... 

Narramore Enchante and her Matinee foal, He was about to turn liver chesnut colour, which is why his mouth looks as if he has been dipped in chocolate 

They will probably kill me for posting this, but it's one of my favourites..They had got their ponies ready entirely by themselves and were about to ride a mile down the road to a low key show at a local riding club. Hard to believe thay will be 20, 20 and 17 this year..When people tell you the years fly past, believe it, they really do.... 

Lady, due to foal in June to Harper's Bornival, the first time we have tried this mating, can't wait to see the result, big, black and beautiful I hope.. 

Monty tasting his first ever apple, a present from a young vistor. 

Jezebel, born last year and growing fast. 

This is a four year old who will be started late spring this year, seen here making friends with a young visitor. He has come through the winter in this condition on nothing more than haylage and mineral blocks, so he looks like he will be a good doer! 

Photo number two, still far too interested in what's going on to stand very still! 

Did you say smile for the camera? 

Monty after a hack, quite sweaty as he has a thick winter coat but as you can see, still full of energy. (ridden approx 6 times from starting him last week) 

Videod from a horse their eye view of the mass protest at East Dart Hotel on Dartmoor the day after the ban; 5000 spectators, 250 horses, I wonder what they're saying to each other here? 

We try to pair up retired geldings, they become good friends and protect each other within the main herd. 

Living out 24/7 makes for healthy horses! Ivor, retired livery. 

The retired horses live in peaceful surroundings. (Dartan, an Andalusian) 

Not seen very often, view from house late one evening. 

This retirement's a lark isn't it, dreaming away all day...Marty and Flynn.
