Horses pt 1: Equestrian Care
The ten horses waiting to be let out first thing in the morning. Because Djamima is sick, she sleeps on her own in the two-horse stable you can see in the background. Titan, who normally shares that stable, sleeps down the front in Bullet's stable and Bullet sleeps outside (that's him on the left).
Measuring the horse in 'hands'
Gemma with Trigger.
A horse (Novia, I think) in the grooming area with Kirsty and Millie
Bullet (I think) having a stretch
The horses crowd round the tack room, hoping for a handful of treat feed.
Titan, the biggest and grumpiest horse. Since I'm the biggest human I
got to ride him every time. He scared the crap out of me and tried to roll on
me twice, but in the end we developed mutual respect.
Then he head-butted
me.
Trojan being groomed by Kirsty and Deborah (and that's Della round the back I think)
Having been let out of their stables, the horses have an early morning run about.
T-bone takes a nap in the shade of the tac room.
It's Felucca's birthday! This is what a horse birthday cake looks like.
Roldie serves up the birthday cake.
In the classroom learning equestrian stuff. Note Richard's apple in the left of the picture.
And... goodbye apple!
Having enjoyed the apple, Felucca now tries to eat my notes.
Felucca performs her trick of drinking orange juice from a human's cup without spilling a drop.
