Quinta das Abelhas

The permanent fencing around the horses’ terraces is now complete - wooden posts with electric wire. This gives us all the white plastic electric fence posts to be able to put them on temporary pasture around the rest of the quinta.

Today we’ve put fencing around the upper terraces, near our ruin, and the horses are very happy. Lots of grazing for the fatties!

The chestnuts are Ayla and Maurice. Both arab cross dutch warmbloods, with lovely temperatments, although Ayla the mare can be a little stroppy at times. The darker gelding is called Daan, who used to run trotting races in Holland. He is gentle as a lamb, but does like to go fast despite his age - 24 years old.

And heres another happy chappy. Afonso’s great grandad, who stopped by to visit and offered to do a bit of weeding. Looks good for his age too!

Stumble it!
