After being beaten up by an opinionated bully on another thread, it is nice to be back among friends 

Congrats on rehoming the roosters RodneyRooster.

Fancy that picture is absolutely beautiful and well timed.  It would look perfect on the front page of any equestrian magazine or book .. well done!

Anniebee I also thank you for sharing such a lovely and special story; an experience I have no doubt your son will not forget.

Thanks Teila. Our eldest daughter is home from Perth and she was photographer for the weekend. Love your new profile pic.

Ijust got another speckled egg.. Scarlett my head hen a month or 2 back laid 2 speckled eggs, then went back to normal. Today shes laid another speckled one.. any reason for this?

Depending on the breed, some of my Wyandotte lay slightly speckled eggs. Could also be excess calcium in the diet.

What a great picture and story. Would have been an amazing encounter for your son. As you all who know me pretty well by now would guess. Antarcticas not on my bucket list of places to visit. I would surely freeze to death

Even a little too far south for us taswegians.

So many good pics from the weekend, we bought DD a big lense for an early Xmas gift. Won't bore you guys with too much equestrian, but I know that some of you like horsey pics.

I think it is such a talent to be able to ride like that, I can stay on a horse ok ( i would never call myself a rider) but to be able to do jumps etc truly is a talent.

Same here. Rode lots of horses in my life , but never as well as this one. We finally got the foaling shelter done and this morning I found Jack in there. He is a little tired after his weekend of jumping. Lots of oats tonight. They are off to the mainland again in January, so he can have a bit of rest now. Show jumping season ended with champs.
We have a lovely little bay gelding that is just off the track , when I say little , he is almost 16 h. He is the sweetest horse and so relaxed. Can't wait to see him ' out and about ' at comps.
