Guarding the Shetland ponies from the Icelandic horses who will try and steal their food. Big fish eat smaller fish - or ponies...

Not feeling great so this is a bit of a whinge. Sorry.

Some friends came to visit yesterday so I introduced them to everyone. Horses, ponies, ducks, hens, cat, dogs.....

Doing crofting chores and I decide to brush some Shetland ponies.

While waiting for the duckies' swimming pool to fill up, I went to sit with the sheep. Funny woolly beings.

The weather has much improved. The cat was sunbathing and there is shed envy.

I couldn't find two of my rescue Shetland sheep this morning. They didn't turn up for breakfast. I went to find them.

A visiting equine vet from south came and checked over all my old horses and ponies.

Blowing a gale. Mrs Duckie is stuck on top of a container and refusing to come down.

To town (Lerwick) to get a big bale of hay ready for emergencies. I took my wee dug with me.

Update on everyone who is ill.

Ella and I are spending a quiet sunday taking our tyre for a walk…

https://myshetland.co.uk/bad-health/

It feels like every animal I am looking after is ill.

https://myshetland.co.uk/knowledge-is-power/

Knowing my horses and ponies' weight is essential for their care. Today they were weighed. I was very surprised by the results.

https://myshetland.co.uk/late-breakfast/

The Shetland ponies haven't been up for their breakfast since Sunday but today they appeared and were fed a bit late.

https://myshetland.co.uk/empty-shed/

I muck out a shed. I make it nice so everyone goes and stands beside it in the pouring rain.

Why do I bother?

https://myshetland.co.uk/back-to-weather/

The weather has changed here in Shetland. We now have our usual go-to wind and rain. I had got so used to sunshine. Stupid me.

https://myshetland.co.uk/a-funny-old-world/

Just my funny old world really.

https://myshetland.co.uk/sloppy-food/

Sloppy food for my old sheep.

https://myshetland.co.uk/out-of-sight/

Trying to feed the Icelandic horses and the Shetland ponies fairly. Not as easy as it seems.
