17 days of full time love

We have 17 days where Vivs owner is away on safari . . . 

 . . .  I KNOW, I am jealous too!!

How lucky, 17 days with wild animals, i've insisted on lots of photographs to inspire me to create them in acrylics. I cant wait to paint a giraffe in its natural habitat just chilling, eating, doing whatever it is giraffes do hahaha!!

While (S) Owner is away (S) ME - Loaner is in charge with Mini human. This is exciting. We have so much planned. I HAVE MANY HACKS PLANNED. A picnic may be needed! We need to keep her fit for her owner. Plus well loved, groomed and cared for. We simply cannot wait!! We love our mare!

Our day will be. Finish school, then tea quickly made and eaten. When daddy is home from work to look after mini (L). Me loaner (S) and mini human (Z) will enjoy a couple of hours at the yard with our favourite girlie. Lots of grooming. Lots of love, some exercise and lots of cuddles !!

And also LOVE for this girlie too, who will be missing her mummy so much !! She is such a sweety!

Just enjoying the SUN

The weather has been GLORIOUS . . . Summer is HERE :)

(L) Had a ride on Viv this week. He used to ride but lost interest. Seeing him smiling as he plodded about in walk and trot made me really happy. He says he wants to ride again . . . That makes me 

SMILE  . . . 

 . . .  LOTS!!

Even Zeus came for the adventure

Deli delights . . . Spring time is full of yummyness Viv says!!

Near the stables are horses with long ears . . .  DONKEYS. SO CUTE!!!

Mothers day at the Stables

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!

What a mothers day I have had . . . .  FANTASTIC!

The kids wrote me a special little card today, it said i was entitled to a full horsey day. I didnt have to cook tea, or do the washing or tidy up. I had a flask, some coffee, milk and i was free. Well sort of, a horsey mad daughter tagged along for the ride . . .  

. . . . 

Tagged along for the ride

I woke this morning to two children wishing me HAPPY MOTHERS DAY from the side of the bed. They handed me their handmade Mothers day cards beaming ear to ear. OH HOW I LOVE THEM!!

I l love them so much xxxx

I also had a special voucher i opened which entitled me to a day with Viv, whilst away all chores taken care of . . . . 

 . . . WHAT A PRESENT. WOW, 

I couldn't have asked for anything more!! 

I took full advantage of this deal . . . 

Mini-horse-mad came with me. Mini-not-so-horse mad and daddy-not-so-horse mad decided to stay home and enjoy some 'gaming time' together.

Time at the stables was FUN. We started with grooming a VERY MUDDY horsie, and then we tacked up and went out for a hack. The birds sang and you could just feel spring in the air. Especially since it was warm, in comparison to the cold snap we have had. 'WE' had a hack actually means~ 'Mini-horse-mad had a hack and Mummy-horse-mad Walked, and jogged and clambered her way up hills and through mud and YEAH . . . HAPPY MOTHERS DAY :)

We had lunch and I had coffee, and then we did some tack cleaning. Viv tried on her new rug and we are glad to say it fits perfect. She looks beautiful in it. Although by tomorrow it wont look so clean hahahha.

I've had a fantastic HORSEY DAY!! 

I LOVE BEING A MUM XxXxXxXx
