Chillaxing on the lawn…

We put a couple of tents up today. Jack has his mate Braeden over for the night and Livvy was just chilling out… Nice sunny day!

Olivia’s First Show

Olivia & Tiger’s first outing was to Courtney A & P Show this morning. What fun! Lovely Lesley lead Tiger and Livvy to victory in the Lead Rein classes. Livvy has come home very rich and with ALL the red ribbons and the Champion ribbon. However, it was slightly disappointing that no one else turned up to compete in their class. 🙂

Mods to Sarah’s Truck

Sarah’s truck is cute but the internal layout needed love. The horses faced the wrong way, was a tight squeeze and there was no access to the front. We tried it with the horses and they got on but it wasn’t pretty with Grace. Mr H is a dude though. So here’s what we’ve done this week.

New dividers and gates thanks to Mustang Floats. New ply on walls, ply stained, 4x outside tie-ups, a new shelf on the door, brackets, hooks and saddle mounts all fitted. Also a new fabricated rug rack. I’ve painted the old blue steel now. Looks good, and we got both the horses up and on there!

Fireworks with the kids

Last night we took the kids to the Rolleston Fireworks, Here’s a few pics… Livvy thought she’d be scared but was totally fine and really enjoyed it all.
