Yee ha!

This photo cracks me up...


...it's a shot of me and my favourite steed at the horse show we participated in earlier this spring. The photo was taken by the very talented Deborah Wilson. I adore her photography!!!

Also I am impressed Gordon didn't buck me off. :)

Meanwhile, this morning Alex was doing a little light reading...


...while Mootie...


...was blatantly disobeying the "NO CATS ON THE TABLE!" rule, while the better-behaved Naomi smugly looked on.

Louise ignores that rule too...


...and makes it damn difficult to read a newspaper!

And here's a chicken!


Emma is 5 this year. She's the same hen who hid a nest in the barn in 2013 and showed up one day with 11 chicks!

And here is Emerson...


LORD OF THE GOATS!

And dear old Tristan...




...Lord of whatever he wants to be lord of! :)

Hope you're having a SMASHING week!

  2. The arrangement of Emma's feathers make her look slightly bonkers.
    It's good to see what versatile riding skills you've developed.You and Gordon are a couple that warms the heart.

  4. Well, the week is better now! Thanks for the wonderful pics. Our cats ahttps://knatolee.blogspot.com/logout?d=https://www.blogger.com/logout-redirect.g?blogID%3D10685986%26postID%3D2167534784992917490re so much better trained. They don't go on the table when we're looking (usually). We only know where they've been (usually) by the paw prints. Also, the only reason Gordon was unable to buck you off was because you had him in a death-grip choke-hold.

  5. I'm sure that's some sort of secret code the cats slipped in...!

  8. That's a beautiful shot of Alex... and the others too of course. Louise looks a lot like our Ghost. And Emma looks Amish with her feathery beard. My daughter has one that also hides her eggs... and unexpectently increases the chick population.
