| A Cold
Start to 2009
2009 has got off to a very cold start at Longham Farm which has
meant frozen water in the yard and limited exercising of the horses
due to the icy conditions. We are thankful for the horse walker
which has enabled us to keep the horses ticking over.
The weather change and thaw is a welcome friend and has brought
with it the sound of the telephone ringing with guests booking for
the start of our season April/May. In fact May is already
virtually fully booked and June is looking busy too.
We have a few horse changes in the yard with the addition of two
new horses Punchey a dark bay 16hh thoroughbred and Bert
a 16.2hh chestnut warm blood. We are working with both of these
horses to get them to be fit and ready for the Off Piste season.
Naughty Boy has gone to a nearby yard and Mary has been sold to
a very nice man near Chard. Whilst we were sorry to sell them we
are secure in the knowledge that they have both gone to very good
homes.
George has wintered well and as you can see from this photo he
is as cheeky as ever.
