| CM Oberon Toblerone and his 'wives' 15th August 2008 Tobi (Cleveland Bay x Holsteiner), Caylie (Cleveland Bay x TB), Commanding View (Mandy - TB) and Chloe's Star (Chloe - TB) were put out on the back paddock today which is finally ready to have some horses on it! The paddock was sown with Triticale and a little Barley. As you can see they had a ball for the first 20 mins of being let out on it! |
| Tobi & Mandy having a bit of a hoon! |
| Below you can see Caylie, Tobi, Chloe and Mandy all going flat out. Sadly there is dust around as we have not had as much rain as we desperately need. Craig was horrified that they were tearing up his paddock!! They had a ball having a run around anyhow, and really stretched their legs there a few times! They all get on really well as a 'herd'. |
| Left and Below are Mandy, Chloe, and Caylie. They all have their winter coats at the moment so look really fluffy and feral! Mandy is 20 yrs old now, and doesnt look too bad for her age. We are looking forward to seeing their foals by Tobi next year. |
| Tobi loved charging around and you can see how straight he moves in the photo at right. He really is such a big doofus. Hes so funny and is constantly talking to us - particularly at feed time - when Craig is forking hay over the fence he is always nickering away with that lovely deep low voice of his, which goes up a couple of octaves when the hay comes his way! |
| Above you can see Caylie having a trot, and then of course Tobi having a canter... Right are the three girls again, same with the photograph below - From left to right is Caylie, Chloe and Mandy. The single horse grazing is Caylie, and to the right of that photo is Mandy, Chloe and Tobi at the back grazing. |
| YEEHAA! Tobi trys to have a few bucks, but isnt terribly coordinated as you can see.... He is really quite funny to watch. |
| Generally, when they are shown, Cleveland Bay Stallions are plaited, however I dont want to have to pull Tobis gorgeous mane, or cut it!! So I think he will have to have a running braid! |
| Tobi is seen here doing his 'dead cockroach' impersonation.... After they had a big run around Tobi decided that it was time for a big roll. He spent ages just flipping himself back and forth. Thankfully it isnt muddy at the moment! |
| Left: Chloe and Mandy having a munch together... Chloe is in desperate need of a bath!! But its too cold at the moment to do it! |
| Above: Mandy Right: Caylie Above Right: Tobis gorgeous big noggin... He has such a lovely soft expression on his face all the time. He really is a big sweetie! |
| Above and Left: Caylie having a bit of a hoon around! Below: Mandy Below Left: Chloe |
| Chloe got a bit of a sweat up with her hooning efforts... She's obviously not as fit as she would like to think! Below: Caylie decided that if Tobi could do the Dead Cockroach impersonation, then so could she. She was so pleased with herself, she was even smiling in the photo below! |
| Our neighbour wanted our sheep to go into the little strip at the back of her house. So we herded the little flock into Tobis paddock where they are free to roam under the rails into her heavily grassed and salt bushed area! Chloe the Calf joined the sheep and even though she had acess to the green up the back - she had to get what was UNDER the fence!!! |
