As the last few foal tangles fall out of Peechay's tail, I have brought him for the very last time in order to prepare him in for weaning and then going off to his new home. Despite the accidents, I love the life that my New Forest ponies have, their ability to socialise with others horses of all shapes and sizes and to look after themselves. Tomorrow Indiana will also arrive so that Peechay has got someone to play with when Nelly eventually goes back out and the two littlies can keep Chancer warm all winter. At the moment he's looking as plump as Jack but I know that he won't use the Nissen hut and the Hay Bars unless he has some pleasant company.
In the meantime the alfresco cafe bar has opened outside the fields with Brandy, Ginger and Blue all enjoying the waitress service.
