We took the Spots to a secure field, as Mac is super sensitive to smells at the moment so has to be on a lead for walks. The secure field allows him to mooch around rather than going where I am. The pond/puddle has become a squelchy mud pond, and all 3 loved going forContinue reading “Mud, glorious mud!”

Birthday boy
Mac is 8 today! I can’t believe we have had him nearly 8 years old, he certainly doesn’t actually 8! He’s had his favourite walk and snacks, even a little birthday cake!
A weekend at Naini’s
The Spots love going to my parents, they love the space, the stream, the ponies … they love everything!! We’ve had some trees cut down after storm damage, so it seemed the ideal opportunity to get some core balance and on practise … Seren also had her third birthday … Naini made her cake andContinue reading “A weekend at Naini’s”
Photoshoot
I wanted to get some more professional photos of the Spots, maybe for adverts, so I asked the lovely Natalie from Hellherder Photography to do a photo shoot. We travelled down a a lovely secure field in Ashby de la Zouche for it. The field was at the top of the hill and we hadContinue reading “Photoshoot”
Easter break
Ellie came back from university so we’ve had a few days off, doing the beach and going to my parents in the Lake District. The Spots love both the beach and Naini’s, they are their ideas of heaven! We like to go to Formby, I love the mix of dunes and sand, you can getContinue reading “Easter break”
Holidaying in Teesdale
We have a lovely week away, just Dave, the Spots and I, as Ellie has gone to university and Beth is at college. We found a lovely cottage with a big enclosed garden in Mickleton in Teesdale. We spent the week exploring the different Dales and towns, visited Hadrians wall and ruined priories. The SpotsContinue reading “Holidaying in Teesdale”
August 2023
Sadly, I popped a disc in my back at the end of June, so we have had a couple of very quiet months. There have been no shows, no days out or big walks, and Dave has been doing the majority of the walking. But, I have been out a few times with the Spots,Continue reading “August 2023”
Chee Dale
We’ve had a few days off, so as well as doing lots of jobs, we decided to have a day out in the Peak District. Chee Dale was perfect, a reasonable flat walk, with plenty of shade and water for the Spots. Chee Dale is a beautiful place, a lovely walk, but definitely one forContinue reading “Chee Dale”
Mac is 7!
How is it possible that our favourite boy is 7!! Doesn’t feel that long since we brought him home as a cute 10 week old puppy! He celebrated his birthday with a long walk, a biscuit and lots of sleep 🤣🤣 So now he’s grown up we are venturing back into the show ring withContinue reading “Mac is 7!”
A glorious bank holiday weekend
The weather has been fantastic, the Spots have loved being out in the sunshine. We spent the bank holiday in the Lake District, so the Spots had a great time playing in the paddocks, paddling in the stream and sunbathing. As well as lots of playing and fun, they did also do some thoughtful posingContinue reading “A glorious bank holiday weekend”
