Australia Day family outing - 1

Had a lovely 'normal' Australia Day visiting the family horses.



This is Dusty down at Pearcedale. We got her in 1997 for the younger daughter. They are both 35 years old and been together for 26 years! The older daughter got Elvis a TB who crossed the bridge a while ago.

Mr. Woody - Very sad news

Mr. Woody was a  3/4 Clydesdale.

Do horses also cross that rainbow bridge?

Anyway... he and Alan Robinson are together again.

These photos circa 1998 when we agisted our horses with Alan at Wood Furlong That name was not well known and rarely used. I have photos (somewhere) of eight pine trees planted in a row exactly one furlong long. I suspect there is a relationship between Mr. Woody and Wood Furlong 

Dusty feeling good after heavy showers

Looks like the old girl had a good wash down!

She will be 35 this year!

Dusty – farrier appointment

Had to go out today past Pakenham to Nar Nar Goon to pick up our younger daughter Natalie who’s car is in for service and then back to Cranbourne for a farrier appointment. This gave us the opportunity to see our girl Dusty again, and ET to give her hugs and kisses. Then return trip to Gooney to drop off the kid and finally on the way home again.

It’s good to see her again.

Boralea Park Agistment is closing down !!!

How fortunate is that !!! we left Boralea exactly 2 weeks ago and today just got word on the grapevine that it is closing down - end of June

Looks like we might go back there to help pull down a shed so I'll take some final photos in particular Dusty's shed, our dairy storage room and of course her corral area where she spent the last 11 years.

Dusty gone one week already...

Time flies - one week gone by already since Dusty went to her new home in Pakenham! Just arranged to do the Village Green tonight with my sister and it feels strange being able to go out and not have to tend to Dusty on the way!

 



December 1998.

Last trip to the horse place

Arriving at Boralea Park - last time.

This is our last trip to the horse agistment to clean up what’s left in the two sheds.

Boralea Park access road.

No more horses

Quiet morning at Meadowdrook Mansion, just sinking in that we don't have to tend to Dusty 24 x 7 x 365 - any more! Shuffling around in the carport sorting out and cleaning up stuff we brought back from the two sheds at the agistment.


His & Hers - this is the last of the stuff in the car boots and back seats. If I piled it all together there would be a small mountain of summer/winter gear.

New home for Dusty

Another busy and in some ways a sad day as Dusty has left us today for her new home in Pakenham. We had her and Elvis (TB) for 18 years!

Horse rugs - four to clean

You can see how it cleans up, we have a sloping driveway so I work from top to bottom.

Dusty

Always nice to have company while grazing.

New rug for Elvis
