Icelandic Horses

12 August 2010

The passion of my sister-in-law's life are her two Icelandic horses...

One morning Thettle had succeeded in removing her mask... she doesn't like the mask but she likes the irritating flies even less... and they can cause problems with her eyes...

so after a quick couple of snapshots... the mask went back on...

My sister Pip... just adores horses... which is of course the meaning of the name Philippa (lover of horses)...  she has taken riding lessons in recent years as she had always wanted to learn...

They are both a bit frisky as they haven't been out for rides for a while... The grass is so parched... with the lack of rain... although this is good as Thettle cannot eat alot of grass...  but does mean they need fed twice a day...

They always came over to be patted when I got up at dawn to give Ziggy a walk...  and let the hens out...
