Beyond the spires


Luna looking through Temujin's humps.

One of those truly special days when I am allowed to kiss a few camels! A haircut on the other side of Salisbury is often a good excuse to go visiting. Temujin and Luna have now been joined by German camel - Zeus who is four years old - and a camel from Cornwall called William who arrived semi-feral.

William

When I arrived the camels had not yet been brushed and so I set to and was soon joined by Kayleigh. A night on the straw can cause chaos when you have a woolly perm. 

William's humps have fallen over because he was fed the wrong food in his previous home. 

Luna rolled in leaves shortly after she was groomed...




She smelled of loam and looked like a compost heap. 


Temujin sat and looked admirable while Luna and Zeus were ridden in the school.


Zeus is taking his first strides off the lead rein, and Luna is beginning to trot with a rider on board. 


They were both happy to walk over raised poles...


William proved that he can trot too and he went for a walk on the lead rein in another field for the first time. 


So positive progress all round.
