Horses, dogs and cats!

Hi folks how are you all?

Before we get to the news stories this week, I must say we have had some talented photographers in the last few weeks. Here are a few taken by Glen's Mum, Sandra, when they came to stay in the caravan recently. From left to right, my mate Glen who also reads the blog, Tia in the middle and Keira. Don't collies love their toys? Glen's toy is in fact Tia!

This is one of our horses, Bea who is retired from riding but is a companion to Gizmo. She is an Irish Draught Cob cross.

and a lovely photo of Gizmo otherwise known as Travellers Tale. He is an Irish Sports horse, whatever that means, haven't seen him throwing the javelin, playing football or anything, perhaps he's better at jumping?


Thanks to Sandra for sending the photo's.
Now, lets catch up on the latest news from the farm. Talking about Gizmo, the big news is that Mum has started horse riding again! She has been out on him twice in the last two weeks and is now walking about like John Wayne! Apparently she used to do a lot of it years ago, but hasn't been on now for about 4/5 years. I couldn't believe it when she went out the bottom gate and got on that huge hairy animal! I personally prefer them as steaks!
This is Giz with Andy, who previously had him on loan, but has bought him this week! So, he is now officially a full time resident Dumpledale horse. Andy, as many of you will know is Dad's uncle, but as Granny had him very late in life, he isn't much older than Dad. He also spends a lot of time on the farm with his dogs and comes to all the barbeques. I have been meaning for some time to post some photo's of the Pocket Rocket and gang, so here they are courtesy of Stephanie. Stephanie came down a few weeks ago and stayed with two lots of people from the Refuge over two weeks! She could be a professional holiday cadger as well as a professional photographer, 'cos her photo's were brilliant too.
This is Hugo otherwise known as Hugo Bossonova..............................
Calvin, Cally for short, full title Calvin Canine the designer dog!
Magic, Madge for short, full title Black Magic...........................................
Zara, full name Princess Zara
The gang all together with the Pocket Rocket at the front...................................
Well I think I'm all photo-ed out for the time being! Hope it stops raining soon, I can't get my fur dry!
Oh err, nearly forgot about the cat bit! Just to let you know that the greycatwotlivsonthewindowsill has gone to the Cats Protection league to find him a nice home where he won't get mauled by the big-ginga-cat or those pesky whippets. He had been limping for a few days, (wasn't us this time!) so he went to the vets and on to be rehomed. They say he won't be waiting long as he is a beautiful blue colour which is very popular so that's good news for him anyway.
Catch you later, Waj x
