Mini Shetlands Rule!

I went out with my carriage today, started in the indoor arena then went outside, and I noticed the workmen building our new vista room watching me, I bet they’ve never seen such a strong pony before!

Vista Room work in progress!

You never know, I might be able to help out if one of their machines breaks down; 

Mini-Shetlands rule!

Guess what, that photo shoot (or at least my part in it) was postponed!! Something about the light not being very good – I don’t suppose the rain helped either!

A Quiet Week

No guests in the centre this week so all quiet on the agility front, every superstar needs some downtime, so I’m taking advantage and really chilling out this week.

I’ve not yet mentioned my newest skill; like so many of my Scottish kin, I am very strong (despite my size!), and last year I started my training to pull a carriage. I have my own special harness, very fetching I look in it too, and my own custom built carriage – soon I will be able to take guests out just like my big friends Maxwell , Hendrix and Bruno – I can’t wait!

I have just heard that we have got a photo shoot this week, not sure which is my best side – both of course! – I can't wait to show you the photos of me & my friends when they are done!

My First Post!

Well, the blog has started off on a busy week! 

Its the first full week of centre groups for 2012, I’ve met loads of new people and caught up with old friends.

My agility skills are the main attraction of course! They include weaving round cones (the tighter the better), walking over tyres, up & down a seesaw and over a scary river, just to name a few, I am a very versatile guy. I love a challenge and its great when the groups divide and each one gives me a different course to do; I haven’t failed one yet.

My friends tell me they’ve had a busy week too, meeting new guest and old friends, we all enjoy the variety of work we get,  and we all sleep well at night afterwards!

The weather has been kind this week so we have spent a lot of time outside, either in the outdoor arena or taking a walk to the reservoir, one of my favourite things is when the guests go outside to pick me a salad – yummy!

I try everything they bring me of course, although I like some things better than others; my favourite snack is clover.
