The two weeks have not resulted in much horsey stuff. The rain and strong winds have meant lots of inside time .....plenty of good books read and other stuff done. But Hokey is becoming more and more friendly which has been wonderful. He has a little new welsh buddy for a while. We are looking after a friends pony and getting him going a bit better. So I did do some work with him ....lessons in how to lunge .....and then got on bareback as I didn't have a girth that fit. I must admit after riding big horses going to 13hh was a bit different. There is simply nothing in front.....just these tiny wee ears.
Anyway the plan is to help Toni out by getting the pony used to kids, the road, dogs, pony club etc. So we will see how that goes.
P.S .....typical!!! these photos were taken tonight ....last night of the holiday and you guessed it .....the sky cleared!

But thats what happens! When the World conspires against you! The weather is up the shoot here too! Rain and more rain. So chin up and best foot forward.
What pretty coloring Hokey has!
Cheyenne - yes I'm sure the world is conspiring against us with the rain
Terry - I think Hokey has pretty colouring too. He will darken up heaps with rugs I'm sure....but for now we are in bare and beautiful mode
Just found your blog, great post!
Loved the pictures and glad Hokey is doing well. I'm sure he hasn't forgot all his past training. He's so cute.
Sorry your break was rained out, that just isn't fair!
Great pictures! What mountain are we looking at in the last one? (Geography was not my strongest subject in school! LOL)
Emmi - glad you popped by and enjoyed the visit
GHM - yes my wee Hokey is going great and remembers everything with gentle reminders....and I think he is cute too
Nikker - the Mountain is Mount Taranaki on the west coast of the North Island NZ. It is a volcanic peak ( dormant) ....a lot like Mt Shasta in North California. It rises directly out of the sea. SO we get to surk in the morning and ski in the afternoon
