Only Smallholding Foals And Ponies.

 We were changing the ponies to the next field and J and myself waited whilst two of them brought them up the road from the field.

"I can see another set of legs walking up the road."

Sure enough there was a very proud Erin walking beside her new foal.  Erin is the poetic named for Ireland apparently.


Erin and Del Boy.

He's male and adorable like Stars recent foal Ace.

That evening we deliberated on a name for him.  We thought of famous tv horses like Trigger and one of us said Del Boy.  We unanimously agreed and Del Boy it is.  

Well he is a trotter after all!

Still As A Mill Pond.

 I went for a five mile saunter the other day or even last week.  It was a lovely calm day and a enjoyable Autumn walk.  What a difference a...
