Dungarron Highland Ponies

Our bucket baby is doing well. 

I'm not quite at a point where i can talk about our loss of Akira just yet. It was really, really hard.

He's ten weeks old now, these photos are of Budz at 8 weeks.

I always do our genetic colour testing through Paractical Horse Genetics in Sydney,

On Friday i got DG Journeyman's colour results back. Lucky i LOVE yellow duns, because that is exactly what he is.

We've had some rain, winter coats are coming in thick and fast. You can feel winter coming. We're still feeding lots of hay, because although we look green it's mostly weeds and not-great grasses. The dams haven't filled, but there's water in the tanks and creeks.

Happy New Year! Hope everyone had a gorgeous Christmas with your family and friends. We certainly did. We had family out to the farm and despite the heat had a delicious outdoor lunch (thanks to some shade cloth and an industrial fan)

I went for a walk yesterday afternoon to see how the mares and foals were getting on. They're in a large paddock with varying terrain - well as varying as you can have when you live on the floor of a valley. We finally had some rain after six months of barely any.

The feed in the paddock is sparse but holding, and the mares and foals are doing really well on it (in fact the mares could all...

Just some photos of the mares and foals. They're getting so big so quickly.

Even more on my personal page (Angela Cook) Feel free to send me a friend request if you want to see more pony photos (or email me, email addy can be found on most of the pages/ contact page on this website) I also post ...
