We are very excited here at the farm, though it does not take much to excite us these days!
We have been in a bit of a whirlwind for the last 3 weeks. Due to some amazing people who recently came into our lives, we are delighted to say we are going to be seeing two new arrivals at the farm.
May & Lilly are 6 year old Suffolk Punch Mares. They will be helping us with the Market Garden over the years to come, and we also hope to learn how to log with the girls, though how they will pick up the Stihl we are not too sure! I have been in Owen Sound for the last three days working with May and Lilly and also their mothers Rose and Chelsey and their present owner Don, who is a very patient teacher and skilled teamster.
Suffolk Punches are the oldest breed of heavy horse in Great Britain with records dating from the sixteenth century. If you are interested in learning more about Suffolk's please check out the links on the blog.
