TCJpart89 2-in-1 second part







TWO-IN-ONE:
Ever wondered what your horse gets up to when you're not with him?  I did, but not since the 'PonyCam' was installed at WW.  Added benefit of having a geek-genius for a husband is he can set all this up for me, and I have really enjoyed watching them too.











Tom & Henry have repeatedly done this all summer, but I still don't tire of being amused by their antics.  Who'd have thought 2 large horses would be happy doing this....but this they do:

Here you can see John getting the shots, and I am watching on the PonyCam inside the cottage.

TCJpart83 The Spa









NEW RETREAT: AT 'THE YARD'
'The Yard' is the newest relaxation destination for weary horses, to kick off their shoes and get some well-earned rest and recuperation.

It's an exclusive 'members only' high-end establishment, with everything a horse could wish for.  A peaceful, tranquil environment with the calming sounds of birds song in the wind, and a personal butler for his every whim. 

A luxurious well-appointed bedroom with en-suite facilities and access to free flowing high fibre meals for that complete detox.

Our clients are free to go for long walks before breakfast and eat in the dining room, or they can have breakfast in bed, it's their choice completely.























Every bedroom has a 'yoga floor', for use whenever our clients wish to do their stretches after breakfast as one of our members is doing here. Or to simply zone-out to the relaxing sounds of the tranquil countryside.




















At 'The Yard' we offer one-on-one treatments, everything you'd expect from a classy spa is here for the body and mind.

Tom & Henry often take a break at 'The Yard',  they can relax into a deep clean bed with the pleasant aroma of lemons wafting in the air.  Taste the freshly prepared luxury packed forage for their internal health and well being.

Learning to completely relax is something our clients are taught during their early stays with us.  And some of the techniques we teach them is to loosen their lower lips for a completely calming experience.
























Fresh produce is delivered regularly for the totally organic vegetarian diet: low in sugar, high in fibre perfect for healing minds and feeling healthy and strong.

They can indulge in massage and stretching, body brushing and bathing.  Here one of our clients is learning some relaxation techniques from our most senior specialist: 'Rand'.




They can have their hair washed in herbal aromatic lathers and be pampered for as long as they stay. Their hair will be rejuvenated and the client will leave with the shiniest locks they've ever had.






We can offer yoga and Pilate's: We encourage our clients to stretch.







....and here one of our regular customers is doing some early morning tai-chi.



Nothing is too much trouble here at 'The Yard', your wish is our command.



We also offer top quality pedicures on a regular basis so your feet are pampered too, nothing is overlooked, we aim to be the experience your weary Trakehner body has been waiting for.



As members of this exclusive club, developed only for creative types and strictly vetted for membership, Tom & Henry feel they can really let their hair down here.  It's remote location also means they know that they stay here in the strictest confidence, and they can leave their fame at 'The Yard' gates and be treated to a pampering of a lifetime!

Unfortunately we cannot consider any new members at this time, sorry to disappoint.




...for anyone who likes the stylish life a friend of mine has a blog I recommend, it's how to live life gorgeously...or Opulent Scrawls.

TCJpart74 Spike Milligan




SOLDIER FREDDY:


Soldier Freddy
was never ready,
But! Soldier Neddy,
unlike Freddy
Was always ready
and steady,

That's why,
When Soldier Neddy
Is-outside-Buckingham-Palace-on-guard-in -the-pouring-wind-and-rain-being-steady-and-ready ,
Freddy
is home in beddy. 



Spike Milligan




This morning, I noticed the boys lying down asleep in their stables on the ponycam monitor, as I left the house, I grabbed my phone to take a sneaky shot of them.






Henry, like soldier Neddy, being always ready and (never) steady was up on his feet before I even entered the yard!
Tom, thought it best to stay where he was, soldier Freddy at home in beddy, because in all likelihood breakfast would come to him! He was right.


I love Spike Miligan poems, and as I was sweeping up the yard the scenario reminded me of this poem.

Blimey!! TCJ is getting all poetic!!
