Pony Driving End 2 End

21st Apr Boxed ponies to Invegarry to start the day-having had to jump lead the lorry yet again ! Had a good rest in delightful lodge chalets at Torlundy Farm, home of Chris and Siobhan Carver at the foot of Ben Nevis, still with a lot of snow. Left in pouring rain which remained with us most of the morning. Jonathan gave Abi her first driving lesson with her Basil and William. Lesson went well and Abi pleased. Felix and Archie put on after lunch, but Felix went lame soon after so Basil was pulled out to do more with Archie - and was a total star. I nfact the dear chap did approx 30 plus miles - bless him. This made us late for our stopover at Lagnaha  Farm. We walked into the yard at 8.45pm. But the kitchen fairies did us proud with a lovely supper.  Thank you Pip and Heather. Hasty phone calls to get a farrier but pleased to say arranged one for our rest day tomorrow.  Jonathan's last evening with us as he has to get back to Halifax to pick up 3 horses and take them home to break to drive. Abi's parents popping in and out yet again and taking lots of photos . Evening sun was gorgeous so made the drive so lovely even though we had very tired ponies. Hopefully a well earned rest tomorrow will do the trick.
