Dungarron Highland Ponies

Not a special day or anything, just one i happened to have my camera with me.

Brrr. Winter is well and truly here and it's brought rain and fog and frost and on occasion sun.

Yesterday started with fog and frost ...an almighty frost (infact it looked like it'd snowed in places.) Creeks and small dams were frozen and troughs all had to be broken into to get to the water within.

We're just starting to calve at the moment, so a quick cruise around the paddocks checking on the girls forund this red girl who seemed quite sure she was not going to put any new calf of hers down on any old icy paddock ...

but after a cup of tea, feeding the ponies, cleaning out yards and the round yard where the foals are confined at the moment (long story involving a nearly yearling colt and several apparently unchallenging barbed wire topped fences that stood in the way of a boy who just wanted to see his Mum before she headed back to Melbourne) and while i wasn't really taking any notice the sun came out and shone down beautifully.

I walked over to the creek paddock to check on the mob in there. All are looking terrific, and taking advantage of the warmth while it's around.

And from there i could see the red cow back up in the front paddock sitting down, so i thought i'd best shoot u there again just to make sure she was ok. She was

Well done red cow!
