Well done to all of you who have helped us to complete our ambition to remove all of the ragwort from our pastures. This year we have done an amazing amount of work on the croft; turning fields into paddocks, installing watering systems, increasing our grazing acreage, removing hazards from the fields, killing bracken, removing ragwort, installing new gates and fences, and repairing old ones. Once we have created two more paddocks and divided one big field into two we will have completed the pasture management program for this year well ahead of time, and we are hoping to make a start on next years before the winter. We would like to thank all those who have helped to make this happen and here are some who really deserve a mention……

Elizabeth Munro, Sandi MacLeod, Lucy, Rachel Murray, Ella Wingent, Catherine Mair, Trini Graham-Stewart, Lorna and Francis Hull, Iona Maclean, Kirsty Davies, Lauren Martin, Layla Murray, Little Ella, Sarah Watt, Ryan Turney, and Chloe MacDonald.

If I have forgotten anyone who has helped with the ragworting then please let me know as all of you who have will be starting our points system with a special 10 point thank you gift.

We have decided to have a trial run of preparation for the Lairg show on Friday 22nd of August to ensure that all the horses have the full kit required in time for the show. Bring along your outfits you plan to wear on the day and we can advise you on this as well.

It is recommended that everyone who is a groom on the day also attends, but it is essential that everyone who is showing a horse or will be responsible for their turnout comes. We can try out plaits and practise our turn out techniques before the big day - it’ll be so much fun!!!

Here’s who you are riding/grooming at the show.

Catherine Showing Byron
Rachel Grooming and Riding Shadow
Iona Grooming for Foxy and Kirsty
Elizabeth Grooming for Brodie and Stacie
Sandi Grooming and Riding Shadow
Kirsty Riding Foxy
Joe Grooming for Pollei and Ella
Lauren Grooming for Joanne and Breeze
Ella Showing Pollei
Joanne Showing Breeze

For full details of which class you are entered in and what time your horse box is scheduled to leave the yard please contact Stacie for a copy of the timetable.
Some of you may need to be on the yard very early to help before traveling separately over to the show, and we will definitely need you all to come and prep the horses on the Friday night.
Have fun guys and Good Luck!!
