Working Autumn with Boris the pig

Took autumn out to my friends last sunday for a work out as she hadn't been out and about much since I had my miscarriage so she was feeling rather good with all the grass and no riding....and Boris my friends Kune Kune pig thought that he would just come and hang with me int he arena but he was actually a bit of a pain...he is kinda cute for a pig and considering I don't like pigs thats saying something...lucky for me Autumn actually quite likes Boris so it wasn't really a problem and to be honest he seems to have a calming effect on my horse...autumn was worried about the new mounting block that sarah has purchased well Boris just goes up and gives it a rub and autumn is like ok thats not so scarey anymore and I can trot past it now cause Boris is ok with it...funny when you trotting down longside and boris is trotting and grunting behind you!!!...


Boris even smiles for the camera



Holly loves horses but the rocking horse has to do for the moment

 Holly also loves the cat..

My last dressage day in May...

Autumn was soo quiet she fell fast asleep at the float....but we did end up with a second and a third..

Winter wet days

Today has been the worst rain day we have had for a long time it really came down hard and my poor horse was standing up to her ankles in water...getting rather soaked I quickly moved her fence so she was on higher ground and on fresh grass, threw autumn so fresh hay and already being so wet I thought I may as well muck out her paddock...poor Holly had to endure this 15mins sitting in the car, bribed her with a piece of chocolate but that didn't last long enough but she was ok, she just wanted to come and feed autumn as well...

Couple weeks ago I clipped Autumn she didnt like it very much but I got there in the end....photo of her with her clip...
