Our Family

As mentioned in the 'about us' section, we have two children, Tom (5) and Molly (2). We also have a large extended family of pets that mostly drive Fred mad.

Firstly there is Sammy, our Jack Russell and chief lap warmer. Then there is Davey, aka 'Forman Doof' as he considers himself foreman of all activities. And we have three cats: Jemima the tortoise shell, aka Cat Ow; Harriet, the old grey tabby and; Meow, our stunning white Burman kitten, or designer cat. Our most recent addition to the family is Schnitzel, our sausage dog.

We also have Lenny and Lorna, our two pet sheep, who run a program for the horses called "Sheep Desentization".This normally consists of them running up to the fence when Fred first rides out on newly started horses. Fred's not a huge fan of the programme but they think it's worthwhile.

Then of course the horses. Firstly we have Roy, our wonderful buckskin lead horse. Roy actually belongs to Dr Sheila Greenwell and we are lucky to have him on long term loan from her. Roy lives with DJ, our spiffy looking bay tobiano mare. DJ was a wild horse, from Gunnadorrah Station, and was rescued in 2006. DJ is still a wild horse, due to Fred never having time to work with her, but she sure does brighten up the scenery and can be handled if necessary.

We also have Kenny, the handsome black brown gelding who is Rachel's main man. And then there is Jacky, the fat bay kids pony, who is in charge of bossing around foals and being company for nervous or first time floaters.

Our pet population does fluctuate but the above are all permanent residents.
