This Week

Not a lot has happened this week, I've put a new Electric Fence around the new winter yard and paddock so that is beginning to look posh!! Honey now lets Toby play with the yearlings, he's a typical boy, chasing them all about, with Honey intervening occasionally if he appears to be getting into too much trouble!!
Our old Zetor tractor has finally died, with the help of our son Dan, we have managed to find another one, an International, the only problem is getting the thing delivered its always tomorrow!! but hopefully it will turn up, its surprising how much you use them, you only realise when you haven't got it!! we desperately need to get on with the topping then the hay--its never ending!!
Three of the pups have been sold, leaving three boys, they have grown into real little characters, all with a good temperament just like their mum, if you are interested in having one e-mail nick on nick@rowanoaklivery.co.uk

Gosh I'm Hot!!

Kevin


This is Kevin, full brother to Oliver--believe it or not!! who was due to be gelded this year but he has turned into such a beauty and lots of our girls on the yard have asked to have him put to their mares, he has served one mare so he has had a reprieve until next year when we will see how the foal turns out!! He has good confirmation and has proved to be a real gent. We are at present backing him, we will also train him to drive, his movement at the moment is totally unspoilt and just how you would want a horse to move, our aim would be to keep it that way, working him gradually and gently and I am sure we will achieve it. His dad, Donald was good under saddle and driving, working some of his life pulling a cart on the beach and being driven around Brecon and memorably pulling our London Trolley for our daughter Nicolas' wedding.
