I should've started this topic a few days back. I forgot. Apologies!

https://myshetland.co.uk/everybody-inside/
A day off from the snow for everyone equine.
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/want-back-inside/
Put everyone outside today as the weather has calmed down a bit. Snow still around.
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/a-bit-of-a-day-3/
Where to begin? I don't know. All Christmas visitors have left and the vet has been for Tiddles. Oh, the worry.
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/still-snowy/
The snow is not leaving Shetland quite yet. Cold and icey. Sheet ice on our tracks. Lethal.
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/outside-5/
I threw all the horses and ponies outside today and then spent the rest of the day hiding so I wouldn't have to get them inside again!
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/being-tough/
I am trying not to feed everyone. The theory being, if there is green grass, then go eat it. So then it snowed and haynets for all..... again.
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/never-get-in-the-way/
I have learned to never get in the way of an ancient Shetland pony and her evening bucket. She doesn't take prisoners.
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/gussie-and-dahlia-update/
Update on the latest sheep I rescued off the hill. They are very cute and tame.
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/the-thaw-starts/
Finally, the snow is starting to go, and then the thick ice which is everywhere. The horses and ponies will be pleased to see their green fields again.
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/the-rare-sun/
The sun makes a rare appearance in Shetland.
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/looking-for-sheep/
My dog walk as spent trying to find my sheep in a 40 acre field. They were at the far end grazing.
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/escape-to-town/
I needed supplies so I gave myself a day off from my usual life. Best lunch ever!
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/pepper-ahem/
Wee dug helps herself to the horses' food. Ahem!
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/sheep-behaviour/
Walking the dogs, watching the sheep, mucking out.
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/big-camera-time/
Decisions, decisions so I went and took photographs of the ancient Icelandic horses.
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/stalking-prey/
The cat is in White Panther mode.
Be afraid, be very, very afraid.
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/big-camera-little-ponies/
Photos of my Shetland ponies.

https://myshetland.co.uk/a-funny-old-day-5/

https://myshetland.co.uk/a-weigh-day/
I had all my Shetland ponies weighed today.

https://myshetland.co.uk/for-vitamin-and-monster/
To town to buy micronised linseed for the old ponies and every known cat food for our cat who has become bored of food.
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/kolkas-adventure/
One of my Icelandic horses ran away today, but she came home when she realised she was on her own!
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/inside-now/
Weather vile. Ponies and sheep all inside. Icelandic horses prefer to stay outside. Dog refused to go on a walk!
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/getting-through-the-storm/
A slight lull in Storm Eowyn this morning and I managed to get out to the Icelandic horses to give them their breakfast buckets. I spent the rest of the morning taking photos of the cat!
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/rugs-off-everyone-out/
Storm Eowyn has passed and everyone is alright and happy to be outside again. All except the old Shetland ladies who enjoyed their 24/7 waitress service. The Shetland boys trashed the place.
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/to-the-vet-5/
To the vet with Tiddles and Waffle, Shetland ponies, to have blood taken for tests. I thought it might be a tad cheaper for us to go to them.
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/my-creepy-neighbours/
Skippy broke down.
I have a lot on my plate.
The old Shetland pony mares are my new creepy neighbours.
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/to-the-vet-again/
Took White Panther to the vet (aka Monster) as he's going off food which is a huge worry and not like him.
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/today-was-vile/
Horrible weather here in Shetland today so everyone fed what they need to get through it.
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/icelandic-bog-horses/
Why do my Icelandic horses feel the need to stand up to their fetlocks in a bog?
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/no-sugar/
When I thought I was doing everything right only to find that it was all utterly wrong. I feel very disappointed in myself, mostly. I should've known better.
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/sand/
To town to buy a tonne of builders' sand and bring it home to distribute in the ponies' stalls.
Knackered now.
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/how-to-relax/
A bad day if you are cat awaiting a dental procedure.
A good day if you are an ancient Shetland pony who needs to eat.
I learn how to relax - mini bricks!
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/awol-2/
Went to see Gussie and Dahlia, my latest two rescue sheep as they were sulking after being wormed.
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/not-been-the-same/
The house seemed empty all day without Monster, who at the vet's for a dental procedure.
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/company-in-town/
To the dentist (me) so I took Pepper, the Patterdale terrier, with me for company.
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/arguing-sparrows/

Not sure if this is the right thing to do but I am going to let the Minions (shetland ponies on a diet) back onto their track.
-

Well, the Shetland ponies have returned to their track. They were not very impressed when they discovered there was not much track.

Feeding the old horses and ponies is not dissimilar to a rugby match.
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/pepper-watching/
Playing flute duets on a Saturday afternoon, while watching for my wee dug not running away. Trust. That's it. Trust.

https://myshetland.co.uk/the-next-chapter-2/
When one of my sheep left to bring my lost sheep home. It was very strange.
-
https://myshetland.co.uk/ill/
Dog and sheep are ill. Vets and antibiotics and painkillers. Fingers crossed they will all get better. I hate it when anyone is not 100%.
