Mother and daughter having a peaceful rest after resolving their family tension
Last week, finally, Flora returned home from her "kindergarten" holiday on a friend's stud, where she spet the winter mixing up a small foal herd with her bouncy cheery way.
Flora's welcome wasn't all cheer and joy, as Winnie felt a bit threatened by this boisterous youngster coming back, remembering the little sweet foal she had seen off in September...but meanwhile, they've all settled and get on with family life in (almost) harmony.
Winnie gets her breaks from being the boss of the lot by going out with me to our local West Cork Trec League, where she gets a chance to show off her agility and sure-footedness in indoor obstacle courses. This is a great activity to do with horses all throughout the year, and soon, it will be time again to go off on Trec orienteering competitions...see www.trecireland.com for more.
