Popeye the bull has left the nest

After a whole year of weaning, Popeye has gotten on a truck to A and S's lovely stud on the Hunter River upstream a bit. He'll have about 400 cows to service. Have a happy life little Cedar's Fields progeny. Our First actually. We look forward to getting you back when your work there is done.

Curly can now get on with her life.

New Steps




Coming down from the house to the yards we've been slowly installing these steps to replace the rickety bricks. That little metal box on the rail is a solar powered light. It works well.

New Shed




Forgot to add some of these developments. A new Garden shed near the wash bays for the feed and tack. Gets the rats out of the garage!

RIP Sunny






Very sad news. This afternoon Sunny, the 33 year old Palamino who has lived here for way longer than we have, passed away in his own paddock. He is now buried there. Sleep peacefully, gentle horse.

He taught youngster River lovely paddock manners. She is very bereft right now. All his girls, River, Evie and Cedar miss you. So do your cheeky mates Mickey and Teddy.
