Yet another month passes...

Here we are at the end of April already. Talk about flown. Last week for the foalies to play together with their Mum's. This week is the big week. Weaning time. Both have grown beautifully and i'm really pleased with where they are at. The mares are at the stage where they need to concentrate on growing the foals inside them, and i'm pretty sure they are well and truly ready for Ghillie and Keziah to head onwards towards independence.
Meet newest member of the family, Fionn. We drove to Woodend in Victoria to pick him up from Pet's Haven which is a no-kill rescue group. Fionn had been rescued from a pound where he was going to be put to sleep. Pet's Haven rescued him from the pound - they are a terrific group. Rescued dogs are vetted, vaccinated, de-sexed and micro-chipped before being rehomed. He's a lovely boy and we are very happy to welcome him into our family. Geordie is wrapt to have a new playmate - and boy do they love playing.
We've done a lot of travelling in the past couple of months - hopefully most of that has come to an end now. Some lately has been pony related. Equine X in Canberra two weekends ago and Melbourne last weekend for the Highland Pony Society AGM.
Equine X was held at Canberra's Exhibition Park. Sarah McAndrew from Tarabrae Highland Ponies at Tarago brought two ponies to Canberra as breed representatives, Currie Park Kilbridie on the Saturday and Croft Cnoc Finella on the Sunday.
Fellow Canberra Highland enthusiast, Karin Cerasani, helped man the stable and hand out infomation packs over the weekend.
Many thanks to both for doing an awesome job getting information about the breed out there.
The AGM went well and as always it was great to get together with fellow Highland people for a chat. Lots was discussed, and no doubt the outcomes will be shared in the next Highland Hoofprints Newsletter. Become a Society member for $25 and get 4 copies of the newsletter annually. It's always a great read and a great way to keep in touch with fellow Highland Pony people. I'd like to encourage all people intersted in Highland's - whether you own a Higland or not - to join the Society and support your chosen pony breed.
