Magnificent Arrival

I woke up at 6:00 in the morning today. I knew it was a very special day!...it's the day I get my mini pony's so my Dad Marty and my Brother Blair and I headed to the pick them up from the Leneham's property at Eight Mile Plains. We met my Uncle Doug there with a horse float. Dad loaded into the ute some other items suchas portable fencing, jumps, horse books and feed. The Leneham's said their goodbyes and we loaded the horses Ebony and Ally into the float. It was easy to get Ebony on the float but Ally was hard! but at least they traveled well.
When we got home we put the halter and lead on the horses and Blair led Ally to our paddock and I took Ebony. Ally started to run towards the lush green grass. We let them settle in and explore their new home.

Dad spent the morning finishing off the gate and so the area is now secure. We gave them some carrots which they loved. Ebony is a little feisty at times, especially with James, Blair (pictured in the blue singlet) and Jordan (Pictured in the red t-shirt). They love eating the grass and I'm sure soon I will be scooping up the manure.

A few times today I lead both of the horses area the paddock and gave them a little run. they kept up with me!
