Truck loading education for the two girls on Saturday. One was calm, sensible and on the truck within 15 minutes. The other was fiery, flamboyant and took more like an hour to get on. Can we guess which one was the fiery 🔥 one 😂? Great education for them and next day saw my Little Miss Difficult head straight up the ramp without any questions.

Weaning time for these two gorgeous girls. I wonder if the mums think Im mean to do this on Mothers Day or if they consider it a gift.

Lucky for me Holly (Linden Celebration- Kolbeach Holly's Masterpiece x Willowbrook Secret) stays here for a few more weeks before heading off to her new home. I'm going to miss riding this one. ❤️

Loving the new blonde fella in my life. He's an absolute gentleman to have around.
Linden Perfect Summer (Brenwood Perfect Storm x Linden Summer Tribute) is the first of this season's foals to be weaned and what a good boy he has been.

Beautiful Kirreway Charade (Small-land Mascot x Kirreway Yvita). Time flies, came to our paddocks from Aus 16 years ago now. Dam of Linden Masquerade, Linden Fun & Games, Linden Song & Dance and Linden Playmaker. We were told she only left greys but gave us a bay and a chestnut amongst her greys. Loved this mare, she had the most impeccable temperament.

In for some handling, Linden Perfect Summer (Brenwood Perfect Storm x Linden Summer Tribute). Couldnt resist taking the clippers to his jawline and removing the inch of fluff... much better now. Poor Penny, he's huge for 3 months old 😂.

Another positive scan today and we are nearing the end of an insanely busy season for both boys. Just a couple more waiting for their first scan then we are all finished for another season. 🤎🖤

Linden Ringmaster (Kolbeach Holly’s Masterpiece x Oakvale Merry-go-round - SOD Royalwood Boy Soprano), he always was a standout. ❤️❤️❤️

Today Linden Time to Shine (Command Performance x Linden Just a Dream- SOD Kolbeach Holly’s Masterpiece) stepped off the property for the very first time to attend our local show. At home he is the biggest p***y cat normally down on his knees foal talking to any horse that looks at him. Well, not today... he told everybody he was well and truly stallion material 🤦‍♀️. Still he was well behaved and Im super pleased with him and his results.

Sonny certainly made me work today, Im going to sleep well tonight and I am sure he will too. 😂

Congrats Leesa on your beautiful mare winning Supreme.
So good to see the show committee working hard to bring back an awesome show. Thanks to the sponsors and to the lovely judge.

So, so disappointed with Holly... why could you not have grown just half a cm more. Her work ethic is amazing, she tries her heart out and I'm loving being back in the saddle with her. Such a beautiful rhythm she gets. But because shes a pony some lucky child needs to come and meet her 😭😭😭
