I told the new owner that the horse comes with Aunties who insist on photos as he spots out

But I will pass on any updates or photos, given that he is prone to shaggy yak of doom look in winter I think I'll have to wait until clip time to see what he is hiding under his current fuzz load.
 
haha Heidi! love your comment!

bye Storm! I love fuzzy yaks too Bree ;) lol I think we need a pic of him in his new home

do you give them any extra supplements when they are pregnant Bree?
 
I love yaks too, which is why the Iceys are so wonderful! They are actually ALLOWED to be seen in public in all that hair

Cassie all my girls are pasture fed and only get supplemented with hay over the winter. We tend to have fairly good grazing so even when the grass is low they get enough good stuff out of it.

I only add hard feed in when they come into the smaller paddocks to foal, usually a month out from due date. Then mum and bubs are back out onto delicious spring grass

We do get blessed with some fantastic grazing.

Although right now I'm coming out of a bad summer in my area, VERY dry followed by a bad Autumn for last minute growth so our winter grazing is rather scrappy.

We've spent the time reseeding some of the paddocks and fertilizing our hay paddock. Thankfully we bought in an area known for good rainfall so even a bad year gives us enough grazing and hay to survive on.

Magni visit this weekend

I get to test his new brushes out on him, see what gear I have that fits him and generally fluff about with him on Sunday. On Monday we're hopefully going to a nearby indoor arena to do some "serious work" together in a different environment AND probably have a lesson with their visiting German trainer. Can't wait!!!
 
Gosh Cassie, I didn't realise you were into that stuff

You'll have to move up here, apparently Nimbin has a coffee shop that will sell "cookies" to the right people haha
 
haha oh yeah man totally on the stuff day n night ya know?

can't stand smoking of any sort so no way I could do any of that grass lol thought it was a bit of fun though!

I agree with you Bree, if we get a good summer we can have lovely grass like we have at the moment bad summer though can be really really hard. we have just had some more rain today and on the weekend (perfect timing) so that should boost the cattle pricing (fingers crossed) and we are going to really downsize our herds so we can maintain our paddocks better

Camera will be crammed into mum's hands and she'll be forbidden from putting it down
