Hiya Rufus you wanna come and live with 3 gorgeous girlies? Only problem is you'll have to have the snip ✂✂:bye:🏐🏐 and wait 6 weeks but it'll be worth the wait!

He's heard all about the plum fairy (from the time you were planning on stealing his cage mate Bobby).... though I think he's more tempted than Bobby.. I think you had him at '3 gorgeous girlies' 😂 🥰
 
This weekend has been crazy busy here at the Bradshaw's (as always)... so we apologise if we have missed quite a few posts over the last couple of days.

Koda wanted to let you know that he is feeling much better and that his antibiotics are working well. I've had a chat with the vet re him still meeting his new brother next week and the vet says he should be fine. He also very much approves of the new 'dog safe' cages that we have had built into the back of one of our work vans. Now he doesn't need to get hair all over the cars 😂

"Ever feel like you're being watched"? 👀👀👀

We are still getting regular pupdates from his brother Shelby. He's still the most confident of the bunch and growing well. He has his jabs this week!

The piggies are doing great. Though they are not enjoying being isolated so much. I have really limited my time with them and have avoided handling them whilst Koda is being treated for his kennel cough (just in case it is a Bordatella strain). So they seem to have been having choir practice (attention seeking practice) more regularly than usual, with Bobby still keeping his position of 'head wheeker'. They very much enjoyed being treated some Parsley this weekend, so I think they may have forgiven me a little. As they are not allowed to play outside of their room at the moment (due to the quarantine measures), they also very much enjoyed some floor time in the play pen in there.

"Mum, was that the sound of the fridge door I heard then?...... a little more parsley and we just might forgive you for the lack of attention....."


We do hope everyone has had a lovely weekend, and that you continue to have a brilliant wheek!

Glad that Koda is on the mend now.
When is it that Shelby joins the family?
He’s just so adorable 🥰

Good to know the piggies are working hard at making you feel guilty for ignoring them.
It’s only a piggy tactic to make you give them extra treats, this will become normal practice- slave retrained!

Thank you!
Shelby is due to arrive next week. I hope the husband is ready, he’s going to have his work cut out! It was his idea 😂
 
I thought about you and your horses yesterday. My 2 year old had his second therapeutic riding session yesterday. He got to ride the gorgeous Pearlie, a Gypsy Vanner. Pearlie was rescued from a breeding situation and her last baby (the 7th baby she had!) is with her at the facility. I forgot to take pictures as I was enjoying watching him ride around the arena.

Glad to hear that your meeting went well!

That's wonderful to hear that Pearlie has a lovely home now, after what sounds like a very difficult start in life :( I do love a Gypsy Vanner (we call them Traditional Cob types over here). Such a wonderful breed, who's characteristics have remained so close to their original roots! 💗

I hope the sessions are going well for your son? :) Animals are the best therapy. I do miss my days of working in the therapeutic side of the equine industry.

He is really doing well with the sessions. He has calmed down around the horses and doesn't feel the need to hit at them. He gets really calm and zen like around them. It's so wonderful to have animals as they really do wonders for us all. 🥰
 
@RedLoredAmazon Wonderful to hear! 💗

You have reminded me that I haven't actually posted many horsey updates for everyone recently!
This week the students were learning all about the equine skeleton, so we had some fun making sure they can identify all of the correct structures (don't worry - the chalk is completely harmless and brushes right out).

These are two of our bigger boys Duncan and Noakes (both over 17hh and came to us from the Mounted Police Force), enjoying the attention from the students and showing off their artwork!
