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. |
