Hear the whisper of the raindrops (Isaac Hayes)

A recent post outlined why I could never be drawn to horse riding as a hobby. 

You'll remember I mentioned how She Who Must Be Obeyed (SWMBO) and Sallie spent a day getting Max ready and then the weather turned to crap.

Well we had a near repeat on Sunday - SWMBO and Sallie again spent Saturday getting Max dolled up and Sunday dawned with rain.

However, this time they braved the elements and Max' temperament in the rain and headed off to their show.

Apparently it was wet and freezing, and Max was 'fun' to ride for SWMBO but all returned to Red Phoenix Farm unscathed and with a plethora of ribbons as well. YEHHH!!!!

I wrote in the previous post that we recently welcomed Coronation Street back into our lives and that theme has continued with the return of Dookie from Fanfa's care in Wellington. She's off to the city by the bay in a few weeks time and Jade did the mission of mercy trip to bring the Dookster back to the farm.

The menagerie is back to full strength. Time for a round up of the whole crew.

( plus the 2 rams who are cooling their heals in a different paddock as we await the lambs)

Speaking of expectant mothers...I think she's carrying a few.

Rest assured I will post pictures of the newbie lambs when they arrive (and survive - unfortunately I've had to bury a couple already).
