We briefly welcomed Diana Whittome
- between her Open Day at Coed-y-Foel Stud and her judging commitments
at the Norfolk & Suffolk Arab Show.
We were delighted to welcome Joanna
Orme on her two weeks' work experience from school and thank her
for her hard work handling the mares and foals, helping the farrier
and holding the yearlings for their inoculations.

In February 2010 our three cheerful
ferreters - and terriers - bagged another dozen rabbits to bring
their total this season to almost 100.
Sadly rabbits are a total pest
on the farm, ruining the roots of the hedges and leaving deep holes
in the fields where horses risk breaking their legs.
