The best guard dog in Co. Galway!

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas!

Brr! It's a bit chilly this morning, have to wait until the roads defrost before taking Blue out or we'll be slipping about the place!

Here's Birthday Blue!

Here is Blue a three year old 15.1hh grey horse. He thinks he is quite special! I got him in July as unbroken. He now is riding and jumps a small course of jumps. More to follow.

Introduction to Possum

Heres a bit of information on Possum my coloured mare. She is a ten year old mare by Cash Customer (coloured) out of Lisette (sports horse). I have done a good bit of showjumping with her and decided to put her in foal last year. She is currently in foal to a horse called Defi Platiere who jumped at the Athens olympics. All going well she should foal in June 2009. Fingers crossed!

Tips for horseowners

Here are a few of my favourite tips for about the yard and home:

1. Create your own barrier cream for muddy conditions: 10 drops tea tree oil, zinc oxide cream 50g or Sudocream, vaseline (10-20g) or half the amount of sudocream. Mix together and apply to heels.

2. Use up remaining ends of saddlesoap by putting them in a container with a small amount of milk and microwave until soap melts. Stir thoroughly and leave to set. Makes a rich soft soap which is easy to use.

3. Dandruff in you horses coat after clipping? Use a handful of breadsoda in some warm water and sponge solution on affected areas. Leaves coat shining.
