I haven't properly updated the page in a good few weeks, I've struggled to find motivation to be honest in what has been a bit of rollercoaster of ups and downs recently.
The heat has been exhausting, we've been super busy with visits which is amazing but also super busy at the stables keeping on top of everything and making sure the animals are doing ok in what is pretty much a drought.
The fields are dead, there's no nice green grass for the animals to eat, we are having to feed the sheep hay in the field already which usually is just a winter thing and they are even having soaked grass nuts and a special mix for breakfast and tea to make sure they are getting enough nutrients!
There's also the worry of Bluetongue which you may have seen on the news, it is a viral disease spread from biting midges and it is making its way up the country now from the Southwest. Our sheep have all been vaccinated to try and offer them some protection if they were unlucky enough to be bitten by an infected midge, so we just have to keep fingers crossed now that no diseased midges come our way!
On top of this I sadly had to have my first goat Alfie put to sleep a couple of weeks ago 💔 after suffering with his health on and off all year it became clear his time was coming to an end and I didn't want him to suffer any more than he already had. I will forever be grateful to Alfie for putting up with my crazy idea of starting a mobile farm and throwing him in the deep end at the very beginning. A tiny goat with a big warm heart, what an amazing little guy he was 💙🌈
A couple of good things that's been happening though now...
Baby Blossom, the long legged floppy eared cutie pie goat who only had 3 working legs when I collected her from her breeder, which then quickly declined to two working legs a few days later... I am pleased to announce that she now has FOUR working legs! She has also been out on a few visits with us since her legs got better and she is just the star of the show 👑
And last bit if news... it has now been 10 years since I decided to quit my job and start my pony party business, which then expanded into what it is today 🐑🐐🐰🐣🐹🦄
If you got to the end of this post THANK YOU for the continued support 🙏💜
