    Hello from Scotland...

    It's been quite a while since I last posted here. This is Tilly now, plus she's picked up a little friend along the way called Misty (17 year old miniature Shetland mare). ;)

    Hello from Scotland...

    She's stolen my heart and has a gentle personality.

    Hello from Scotland...

    Just waiting for the farrier to turn up, he's in much demand and can be fully booked for weeks in advance.

    Thanks, me and the Yard Owner has been giving her lots of TLC. ;)

    Hello from Scotland...

    I just thought I'd update you all... I've had Tilly for a wee while now and I'll like to show you the difference a little TLC can have. The top photograph was taken back in late July this year, you can see her ribs poking through her coat. The last photograph was taken today with her winter...

    Her 'Sunday' name is Tillicoultry Beauty.

    Hello from Scotland...

    The farrier did a great job on her and her sister's feet yesterday and they are now both out in a field, what a difference a week of TLC makes!

    Hello from Scotland...

    Not at the moment, other than building her general condition up. Apparently, she and her sister came from a field with very little grass coverage. The dealer bought her and her sister on Friday afternoon, brought them down from a place called Tillicoultry in Clackmannanshire. They were both in...

    Hello from Scotland...

    Some people don't like blue eyes on a horse or dog, but I think it makes them look 'one in a million'.

    Hello from Scotland...

    It is a bit of a turn around, but I think it was the right choice.

    Hello from Scotland...

    Okay, change of plan... I ended up buying a coloured cob yearling filly from the horse trader. It'll make about 14.2 hands, so no longer a miniature horse. She's got the most amazing blue eyes! I bought her yesterday morning (Saturday, 30th July 2016). When I first saw her, she looked like...

    Hello from Scotland...

    One may come sooner, depends what's available. She'll be going up to Aberbeenshire in October, not England - my mistake... If and when I get something, then photos will be forthcoming.

    Hello from Scotland...

    I've lived in Scotland most of my life.

    Hello from Scotland...

    I've made contact with a local horse dealer who likes Shetlands herself, so hopefully I may have something coming my way by October. This is when she goes to the sales down in England. I'm also hoping she'll allow me to keep the pony on her farm, so that I can keep it grazing there. It's not...

    Hello from Scotland...

    To be honest, it was so long ago (26 years), I've forgotten.

    Hello from Scotland...

    I've worked with New Forest ponies many years ago in a livery yard down in Southern England and also volunteered on-and-off with the Riding for the Disabled Association over here.

    Turbo learned a valuable lesson yesterday

    That looks hellishly sore, poor mite.
