Just so you know.. I don't have my minis any more. Dottie went back to her owner and Maddy stayed as companion to my friend's horse after I moved my riding pony. Neither driving at the moment which seems a shame but hey it's 2020. The riding pony is loving her life doing western stuff with a...

here's the design we're copyingl

Oh yes I've seen Anarchy Acres on Youtube. We're using modern components designed for hand-pulled ploughs... the fabricator is making thej wooden part (ash). I don't know if it'll work. The point of using mini is that i'm thinking of gardens and allotments... square metres not acres... where...

Someone's making a plough for me. I've never ploughed before! How do i learn? I guess starting on some ground that is already quite loose would be a good idea. it'll be a pair of 32" mini shetlands

Hiya yes we're fine, my phone is feeling it's age a bit! We're out driving most days. I was a bit worried i might get arrested yesterday but there were loads of people out walking .. even without dogs! We've had more sunshine than the whole of last year i think! Anyway, my work as cycle...

Been a bit busy and forgot to log. About 2 hours for Maddy and Dottie. Wet weather.. driving a bit unpleasant so they mostly been on walks with the dogs

We delivered 3 bales of hay. Slight kerfuffle with Dottie shying at a bus while we waited at a give-way. She pushed Maddy onto the grass verge. Maddy started eating and 2 bales fell off. Someone gave me a hand and we set off.. arrived at my friend's house with the hay.. but forgot keys! They...

I've already been out yesterday and today. I keep a riding pony at a friend's half a mile away. We both bought hay in the summer and all the hay at her place is gone now, so the minis are delivering hay from mine (the minis live at home). I can get 3 bales on the dray.

Great pix... like the collars... what make are they?

I've only had the one foal, also stillborn for no apparent reason. My mare was not a bit bothered though.. she rested a couple of days and then was very happy to be out and about not pregnant. The year got worse with my daughter's illness but we got through... if you never tried anything you...
