Anything But Standard

We've had a few emails now, updating us with various past ponies so we thoughts we'd make a mini update on it!! ... Updates are always great - we love hearing what everyone is getting up to out there ...

Jimmy continues to go ahead in leaps and bounds with his new Mum - He bounced back from his illness in style, and is now under saddle again and going fab!!. His Mum reports she's just thrilled with him, and loving his forward strides and willing attitude ....

Tonto is going great in Narrabri, though he owner is less than pleased with that fact she needs a constant supply of licorice to feed his addiction, haha .... With the heat dying down soon, we expect many more updates on his saddle progress ...

Paulie is still just down the road! Had a setback in saddle work when he developed tender tootsies (spring grass, lots of wet ground) but he's still an intergral member of the family, and is as smoochy as ever ... We hope to see more Medieval Festival piccies to come!

Trina and Cam are both still in Braidwood, both very much loved! ... From what we hear, these 2 have a home for life and their Mum wouldn't have it any other way!

Andy is another boy who's scored himself a forever home, and is currently babysitting a yearling colt imported from NZ. Though he DID take a break from his uncle duties to attend a local show, where he picked himself up a 3rd Ribbon .... His dad was very, very pleased!! (And we can't wait to tell his old owner the news! He'll be just as thrilled - Andy was a real favourite) ...

Joni is still in Sydney, also on babysitting duties; a very pretty 2yo 2nd cross Andalusian filly keeps him on his toes, and he's got 4 human slaves who adore him; he is very much in horsey heaven ... (Can we move in too?! haha) ...


... and as for us - well, we have a Show coming up that we're getting a few ready for .... Red will be having a go at Led Gelding and Ridden classes, and Trixie will be making an appearance in the Led Mares class .... We may be taking Ranger (our spunky black/white tobiano pinto) for the Led Colt/Stallion class - but he's a maybe at this point ... The little darling keeps jumping on his nearside heel and opening it up - despite wrapping and putting a bellboot on, he continues to aggrevate it (all that 2yo energy spent covorting around the paddocks at a million miles an hour, you see!!) ... So we'll see what happens with that little devil!

So .... What's new with you and your Standy?
