PHOTO GALLERY 2006
As before on the 2005 Photo Gallery page, you will fine a random collection of snapshots from the farm in this year's Gallery. Some will be of foals when they are born before they get their 'own' page and others will literally be totally random snapshots that share some of our Life on the Farm... A more informal look at Rollestone... With thanks to Ian Russell (aka Jack) for many of the photos on this page...Muchly appreciated... Click on the pictures to see a larger version |

27 Dec: As there's not many pictures to add at this time of year due to the unattractive muddy fields and fluffy, dirty horses we thought we'd add a lighthearted video of Saminca's first day out with the others in the steep field...We thought she'd be pleased to get out after being in her stable for a week...But it doesn't go to plan...Click on the picture above to see her First she meets Romeo one of our liveries and says hello...After a brief charge around she refuses to explore the 25 acre hillside, preferring instead to stay in the mud at the bottom...So then Chris attempts a bit of 'Join Up' to try and get her out of the mud...before she is chased off by the liveries and Kachina...and then makes a bee-line for the cameraman, who blames the unsteady footage on the VERY muddy and rutted ground...Unable to encourage her to leave us or the mud we give up and in she comes again....personally i think she is just a laydee who doesn't like the mud... |
