In 1998 I had my best Christmas present ever, my son. And then as I turned 29, I had my best Birthday present ever, and that was you, my beautiful daughter. I remember worrying about having enough love for the both of you, but when you were born, of course, all those worries evaporated. LoveContinue reading “Happy 18th Birthday”

Flash Harry
Happier news from Dyfed Shires this month – they have a new horse who’s just joined the farm. His name is Caerberllan Flash Harry and he was born in April this year. We met him today and can confirm he’s very cute 🙂 To see more photos and keep track of him over our many futureContinue reading “Flash Harry”
Goodbye Little Archie
I am so sad to hear today that little Archie (Dyfed Liberation) died last night. He was such a sweet little foal who we’ve visited regularly since he was born in June. Here are some of my favourite photos of him taken through his short life. If you’d like to see more, please check outContinue reading “Goodbye Little Archie”
The Shires (and other animals) of Dyfed Shire Horse Farm

Big Jumps
When I’m not taking photos of small things like flowers and insects, I take photos of rather larger things… namely horses! My daughter loves to ride and I often find myself sitting in field in the rain taking photos at competitions. In this event I sat near this huge log jump and was happy toContinue reading “Big Jumps”
Her Happy Place
My daughter loves to ride, and she especially loves this pony at the riding centre. You get to see a lot of her smiles when she’s with him 🙂 They did a dressage competition together this morning. Inspired by the Weekly Photo Challenge: Smile.
Beloved Pony
I saw that the Weekly Photo Challenge this week is ‘beloved’ and I had to choose my daughter’s favourite pony at our local riding school. We can’t afford a pony of our own, but she loves this pony (Squirrel) and rides him regularly. ❤ Here they are after today’s riding lesson: And here they areContinue reading “Beloved Pony”
