Goodbye, dear ponies!

Dancer and Allegra are off to a new home!

When we were first here we gladly took on a couple of miniature horses from Margo, a neighbour to the west of us. Margo and Clarence’s property adjoins ours.

For some time we had been thinking of finding a better home for Dancer and Allegra especially as ‘sizing down’ was important to us being able to live here for many more years.

Margo will keep Allegra but has found a great new place for Dancer. Margo has been a breeder of miniature horse for many years.

So when I wrote yesterday in a reply to your responses: “The morning calls for other things to be done, more details later ,…” this is what was going on.

Some pictures to remember.

Goodbye, dear Dancer and Allegra!

Home on the ‘ranch’.

Some reflections of the last few days.

Just a dip into a few experiences.

Back on the 10th we had a few days of cold, overcast weather that brought temperatures down below freezing and some snow.

Here’s a scene looking towards the North-East corner of the property, taken just before 11 am.

Then a few days later, on the 14th, the sun was out while the temperatures remained below freezing.  Shown clearly as the sunlight catches the frost on the tree.

A few minutes later I swung the camera to take a picture of Dancer munching away in the morning sunshine, just a day after we collected her and Grace.

The horses settled in quickly, adapting to the dogs who were very curious.

And in a very different vein, a sneak photograph taken of yours truly who had collapsed in front of the fire early evening last Friday, quickly becoming a cushion for Hazel.
