through the winter I've been tucked up nice and warm in my stable every night, so its lovely now that the weather is brighter to get out into the fields again.
All the other horses have also spent quite a lot of time in the stables at night too as the fields have been very muddy and us horses can only cope with so much rain; a bit like humans I suppose! We are all very excited about being out in the fields in the sunshine again.
The main reason why it’s been so busy is that we have had lots of new arrivals since Christmas, and I've been showing them the ropes.
The first to arrive were Safari and Rooster, who came together from another stables. Safari is an unusual looking chap. He tells me he is an Appaloosa, apparently that’s a breed of horse! He is chestnut but has white spots and patches on his back and hind quarters. He tells me this means he is "a Chestnut Frosted Blanket" which he obviously thinks makes him quite special!

Safari arrived with Rooster who is very, very tall! He said he used to be a racehorse but now he is a bit older he was looking for a quieter life so Calvert Trust Exmoor should fit the bill for him. He is a chestnut but with none of Safari’s fancy spots. They seem very happy to be here and are both working with our guests really well.

We also have some new humans too! Kerri-Anne and Louise have joined Nicky and AbI, to help them look after us and all of the new horses too.
