High-end saddlery...

HERMES:
...a story of saddlecraft...

...an amusing tale of saddlery and the craft of making the thing that sits between us and our horse.  From the early decorated wooden ones to the high-performance ones made for the top riders.

Equines & Felines

Horses&Cats:
..and how, at our place, they live together in (almost) perfect harmony.

...a photo-montage staring Tom & Henry (of course), Lemmy (the fluffy one), Coco (the black one) and Min (the mad one).

Welcome to our life...

some evening shots...

Take the opportunity to take photos when you can, you'll get some great shots.

Now Tom and Henry may well be the most photographed and recognisable horses on the planet, but you can never have too many photos of your beloved equine in my view.  People think horse ownership is all about the riding, but I like to take pictures of mine at liberty, because its then you get the 'real' horse.  Doing what it wants, and its fascinating.

...this weekend

make the most of the good weather....
...and ride the good ride.
 Sunday was great weather, it occured to me there may not be many of those left....

 
...though I do like crispy cold frosty mornings too.

So I got out and about.

...more more more...

ponies, and how I can't live without them...
Tom and Henry are sooooo much happier with shoes on people, they're dashing about and doing those fancy foot manoeuvers Trakehners are so famous for!
