Eli’s adventures
April 6, 2011
The other day, I opened the laneway gate so Eli could wander down and graze in the back paddock. It was almost dark when i finally got to checking him and he hadn’t come home yet. I went to see where he was and he had gone down into the gully for a drink and kept walking along the gully into the neighbour’s paddock. (We didn’t realise that the fence had washed away with the rain in the January floods). By the time I got to him, there was almost no light left and I had no halter (because i wasn’t expecting to see him where he was).
So, I walked through the gully and under the back fence and Eli came over, looked down at me and started shifting his weight like he wanted to jump down into the gully with me (a 2 metre drop). I stood back and he jumped straight down beside me and looked at me as if to say “well hi, now what do we do?”. So I walked back under the fence and he followed, we waded through the water along the gully (almost completely dark by this point) and I scrambled up a 1 metre bank to get out of the gully and he just looked up at me, stood up on his hind legs and sprung up onto the bank with me. Then i turned and headed for home and called him and he followed. I remembered that i had put some muffins in the oven and was worried about them burning so started to jog – Eli just trotted along beside me until we got back to his paddock and then wandered back into his paddock as i opened the gate for him. I have honestly never seen horses with temperaments like this.

January 16, 2011
We went to the APSB Victorian stud show today. Eli won 1st in the partbred Gypsy Cob class and Champion partbred Gypsy Cob. Noell won 3rd in the same class.

Drum horse foal tonight?
December 20th, 2010
Our Clydesdale Mare is fully bagged up and waxed up. I think we’ll be having a drum horse foal tonight. The weather is cold and miserable – just perfect for foaling
2 foals to come this season
December 7th, 2010
We have 2 more foals due this season. Our biggest Clydesdale mare, Vanessa and a 13.2hh pony. Both are in foal to the Gypsy Cob stallion The Minstrel and both have started bagging up. They are due 2 days apart so the race is on to see who foals first

Since we were taking two of our Drum Horse foals to the show the next day, we thought we should probably teach them to load on the float. See photos and read more about the how brilliantly the Drum horse foals loaded onto the float for the first time.
