Our foals are handled lightly and regularly from six months of age using natural horsemanship methods.
We run an established herd of good quality and carefully selected mares and we aim to produce confident and happy ponies. This means that your pony has had the best start in life with positive handling and regular worming.
Our stallion Merribridge Groomsman produces good quality hardy stock with great straight paces and excellent personalities. His pedigree bloodlines include Sherberton Joshua, Catesby Crusader II and Cawsand Thunder.
We work with the Dartmoor Pony Heritage Trust producing pedigree, part-bred and heritage approved Dartmoor ponies suitable for riding, companion ponies, driving and conservation grazing.
All our ponies are handled before they are sold this means that they have learn't the basics - headcollar on, leading, touched all over, leading, travelling and gradually getting used to farm machinery etc.
Our stallion was named in the 2010 Dartmoor Pony Society Diary as one of three working stallions directly linked to Hele Romeo - one of the three original Dartmoor stallions.

I regularly saw this flock of birds circling the neighborhood as I prowled the area near my daughter's home... and couldn't recognize the species. Eventually I saw them land into a hutch in a nearby yard... a neighbor was raising them! They are a domestic pigeon similar to homing pigeons.

Beehive Geyser is the tallest regularly-performing geyser in the Geyser Hill Group of Yellowstone's Upper Geyser Basin. Eruption columns are steady, relatively slender, and reach 150 to 200 feet high. In recent years, Beehive Geyser erupts approximately once a day for about five minutes. Eruptions are usually preceded by an eruption from Beehive's Indicator Geyser, located about 7 feet away from the northeastern base of Beehive's cone.
Beehive Geyser's cone is about 4 feet tall and subcylindrical. The vent at the summit is relatively small. The cone itself is composed of geyserite - also called siliceous sinter. Geyserite is a friable to solid chemical sedimentary rock composed of opal (hydrous silica, a.k.a. opaline silica: SiO2·nH2O). It forms by precipitation of hydrous silica from hot spring water. Geyserite is the dominant material at & around Yellowstone hot springs and geysers (the Mammoth Hot Springs area is a major exception to this). The silica in the geyserite is ultimately derived from leaching of subsurface, late Cenozoic-aged rhyolitic rocks by hot and superheated groundwater. Rhyolite is an abundant rock at Yellowstone.
The outer walls of the cyclindrical portion of Beehive's cone are slightly irregular and nondecorated. The summit is mostly covered with nodulose to pustulose geyserite.

"Black-bellied Seedeater is endemic to southern Brazil; it regularly breeds in Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina and occasionally in Paraná states. After breeding it disperses north as far as Minas Gerais and southern Goiás, in central Brazil. This seedeater reproduces in moist grasslands and grassy margins of marshes and in the uplands of south Brazil. Males are distinctive having a mostly gray plumage, with a small white speculum (white patch at the base of the primaries), black throat, breast and belly. This color pattern is similar to that of Chestnut-bellied Seedeater (Sporophila castaneiventris) of Amazonia, the main difference being the chestnut color of the throat and center of the underparts. The female is much less distinctive, being predominantly olive brown, similar to many other species of Sporophila. The conservation status of the Black-bellied Seedeater is Near Threatened, and habitat loss within its relatively small geographic range coupled with captures for cage bird trade are the principal threats." neotropical.birds.cornell.edu/Species-Account/nb/species/...

Artemisia Geyser is a large, regularly-erupting geyser in the Cascade Group of Yellowstone's Upper Geyser Basin. It erupts approximately once a day for about 15 to 30 minutes. The geyser has a beautiful, blue water-filled, hexaradiate basin that is about 12 to 16 meters across. The vent is surrounded by a large platform with complexly anastomosing ridges of nodulose geyserite. Eruption water drains to the southeast toward the Firehole River along numerous individual runoff channels. Eruptions start with subterranean thumping and a sudden flooding of the geyserite platform with increased runoff. Eruptive bursting starts with small doming roils that increase significantly in size and energy as the eruption progresses. Eruptions end gradually. Some water from the platform drains back into the vent after the eruption and water level settles down to about 1 meter below the rim. Water slowly fills up the basin over many, many hours after the eruption, eventually reaching overflow. This continues for many more hours until the next eruption.
In 1999, researchers measured the vent's water temperature as 80 degrees Celsius, with a pH of about 7.7 (= slightly alkaline).
In early August 2016, a Yellowstone ranger witnessed an act of significant vandalism to this geyser by nature-hating scum.

*HERE ARE SOME PERTINENT LINKS re the WAR on TERRORISM**. If you've been
here before you've already seen the YouTube links, but now I've added some
articles by Raymond Ibrahim who writes some insightful articles re the Islam
world and American interaction & involvement. He apparently is fluent in
Arabic but has a western perspective and is willing to be critical of the
Muslim world, which makes his criticism more pertinent. Many in the western
world are hesitant to be too critical because of all the “political
correctness” we have been bombarded with…& so when “one of their own” so to
speak makes a stand we should listen. I'm still finding out more about him

I regularly woke up in time to watch the sunrise over the Indian Ocean from the balcony of my flat. The time to enjoy this natural beauty and reflect for a while became part of my morning routine. The glorious sunrise, which everyone could freely observe, was a consistent reminder of the existence of simple goodness in this country plagued by hunger, homelessness, racial tension, and many more ugly predicaments.
The goldfinch's preferred food is small seeds such as those from thistles (the Latin name is from Carduus, a genus of thistles) and teasels, but insects are also taken when feeding young. It also regularly visits bird feeders in winter. They nest in the outer twigs of tall leafy trees, or even in bamboo, laying four to six eggs which hatch in 11–14 days.
In the winter goldfinches group together to form flocks of up to forty birds, occasionally more.
The song is a pleasant silvery twittering. The call is a melodic tickeLIT, and the song is a pleasant tinkling medley of trills and twitters, but always including the trisyllabic call phrase or a teLLIT-teLLIT-teLLIT.
In earlier times, the Goldfinch was kept as a cagebird for its song. Escapes from captivity and deliberate releases have colonised southeastern Australia and New Zealand.

Goldfinches are attracted to back gardens in Europe and North America by birdfeeders containing niger (commercially described as nyjer) seed. This seed of an annual from South Asia is small, and high in oils. Special polycarbonate feeders with small oval slits at which the Goldfinches feed are sometimes used.

Goldfinches are commonly kept and bred in captivity around the world because of their distinctive appearance and pleasant song. The Goldfinch males are sometimes crossed with Canary females with the intention to produce male mules with beautiful singing voices, that often capture the best singing attributes of both breeds.
Madonna of the Goldfinch by Raphael, (c. 1505-1506)
Because of the thistle seeds it eats, in Christian symbolism the Goldfinch is associated with the Passion and Christ's Crown of Thorns. The Goldfinch, appearing in pictures of the Madonna and the Christ Child, represents the foreknowledge Jesus and Mary had of the Crucifixion. Examples include the Madonna del cardellino or Madonna of the Goldfinch, painted (c. 1505-1506) by the Italian renaissance artist Raphael, in which John the Baptist offers the goldfinch to Christ in warning of his future. In Barocci's Holy Family a goldfinch is held in the hand of John the Baptist who holds it high out of reach of an interested cat. In Cima da Conegliano's Madonna and Child, a goldfinch flutters in the hand of the Christ Child. It is also an emblem of endurance, fruitfulness, and persistence. Because it symbolizes the Passion, the goldfinch is considered a "saviour" bird and may be pictured with the common fly (which represents sin and disease).[6] The Goldfinch is also associated with Saint Jerome and appears in some of his depictions.[6]
Antonio Vivaldi composed a Concerto in D major for Flute "Il Gardellino" (RV 428, Op. 10 No. 3), where the singing of the Goldfinch is imitated by a flute.
Biblioteca Joanina, sometimes known in English as the Joanine Library, is a Baroque library in Coimbra, Portugal, located at the heart of the University of Coimbra. The Biblioteca Joanina is regularly considered one of the most beautiful libraries in the world. The Biblioteca Joanina is named after its founder, King John V of Portugal, who began construction on the library in 1717, during the onset of the Age of Enlightenment in Europe. It is home to more than 70,000 volumes, including many priceless, historical documents and first editions. It is registered as a National Monument. The building has three floors and shelters about 200,000 volumes, of which 40,000 are located on the first floor. These bibliographic collections can be consulted, by request, with justification and motives for the need to consultation. Upon approval, the referenced work is taken to the Biblioteca Geral by functionary, where the document can be examined. The care taken in this respect is a direct consequence of the rarity and age of the documents in the library; the collection date from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, whose majority represent the best works from Europe at the time. The library contains about 250 thousand volumes, namely works of medicine, geography, history, humanistic studies, science, civil and canon law, philosophy and theology. The artistry of the library is characterized by its international origin and emphasizes the global reach of the Portuguese Empire. Chinoiserie motifs painted on exotic, South American woods, executed all by Portuguese artists. The notable exception being the monumental portrait of King John V of Portugal, executed by Domenico Duprà in 1725. Over the entrance door, the library exhibits the national coat of arms. Inside, there are three great rooms divided by decorated arches, bearing the same style as the portal, and entirely executed by Portuguese artists. The walls are covered by two storied shelves, in gilded or painted exotic woods (primarily from Brazil); the painted ceilings, by the Lisbon artists Simões Ribeiro and Vicente Nunes, blend harmoniously with the rest of the decoration. All the bibliographic works are in the best condition since the building is a perfect vault, with a stable environment, throughout the year, from summer to winter. The building was conceived as a library house constructed with exterior walls around 2.11 meters (83 in) thick. The door of the "vault" is constructed of teak, that permits the space maintain a constant temperature of 18–20 °C (64–68 °F). To maintain this stable environment the humidity hovers around 60%, thereby conditioning the wood interior. In addition to issues of humidity and temperature, the stacks are affected by another "enemy": papirófagos, insects that survive on paper. But, the structure is protected by being constructed of oak woods, that, in addition to its dense nature (which makes it difficult for wood penetration, elicits an odor that is repellent to these insects. The library is noted as being one of two in the world (the Mafra palace library being the other) whose books are protected from insects by the presence of a colony of bats within the library.[7] During the night, the bats consume the insects that appear, eliminating the pest and assisting the maintenance of the stacks. Each night, workers cover the "buffets" (credenzas) with sheets of leather. In the morning the library is cleaned of bat guano.
Klein Karoo, West Cape Province, South Africa. Tourists, local and foreign regularly visit the Highgate Ostrich Show Farm that was established more than 100 years ago by the Hooper family. Currently this working farm is managed by 4th and 5th generations of the Hooper family. It opened its gates to the tourist business in 1938. Highgate has an ostrich race track where visitors get to see local jockeys race the birds. It has a restaurant as welll as a curio shop where leather and other ostrich curios can be purchased. The guided tour (by our guide Emmanule) includes a visit to the feather room, the breeding areas, visitors are taken into a camp by the guide where a male and female pair of ostriches are currently breeding out eggs, to do this the guide carries a hefty thorn branch to keep an ostrich, should it become aggresive at bay. They fear for their eyes. While in the camp visitors are allowed to handel eggs as well as to stand on them. Also during the tour visitor may buy packets of mealies to hand feed ostriches. Highgate ostrich farm is on the R328 some ten kilometers from Oudtshoorn. At the end of the tour (90 rands) visitors are encouraged to buy curios. Visitors are also allowed to ride the birds and also to sit on them. Emmanuel shows how wide the bird can open it's mouth warning that small little shiny (they love shiny objects) digital cameras should be taken care of as they could be snatched and eaten. 07/01/2007.

This pheasant regularly visits my parent's garden to help itself to the food left out for the garden birds.
During my trip down to visit at the end of last month, I caught it in the act of 'bouncing' seeds out of the feeder tray above it by holding onto the bottom of the mesh with it's beak then letting go - causing the tray to bounce up again resulting in the scene you see above (a shower of seeds ... and water droplets from the rain - that fell to ground level)

Since summer 2008 I am regularly visiting the refugee settlement Macondo, which exists since the 1956. Then many refugees came to Austria in the aftermath of the Hungarian uprising. Some of them were settled in an old army compound in Vienna's south - nowadays called Macondo. Word has it, that they were about 1.500 people at first. Over the years, some left and others arrived.
Some call the gardens the heart of the settlement (pictures, gardens old 1 & 2), but since they are getting rented to outsiders (pictures, garden new) its not the same any more. “They even use our parking lots to dump their waste (see pictures cars 1 & 2), its not the place any more I grew up”, tells me Jorge. He lives there since 38 years. He came from Chile as a small boy with his family in the mid 1970s. If you ask him why he stayed, he states: “... to organise football tournaments for the kids, because without things like that, the place would be worse than it is.”

I now hopefully return to my regularly scheduled flickr posting!
Thanks to all of my good friends here who've patiently waited for me to endure my puter problems at home, and having a busy time at my job during the day. I've missed you all terribly.
This posing sea bird was found on the Berkeley Pier during my vacation in lovely California. Did I mention that this was the first big trip of my life, and even my first time in a commercial airplane? Since I've returned I've longed to be back there where the fruit is always fresh, and the air is cool. *sigh*
On this wonderful day my husband and I met up with Valerie Cochran of "Your Waitress Photos" (she's on flickr, too!). She showed us all around this fascinating city and even pointed out some spots where she took some of her very memorable photos. It was a huge highlight of the trip to meet Valerie and to spend a whole day with her. All three of us took pictures of this seagull who followed us for a bit on the pier.
I will catch up with you all little by little this week. My boss gave me some big tedious tasks to work on today, that will take me some time to finish. But a girl needs some down time too. While the boss is away, I will be flickring away! :-)
This Yuhina was regularly seen in mixed species flocks in Eaglenest National Park, Arunachal Pardesh in February 2013. They were quite fast moving and so you did not have long to take a shot before they disappeared into the undergrowth. This race can be found from the eastern Himalayas of Nepal to SE Tibet, Arunachal Pradesh and Northern Assam.

This superb adult has been feeding regularly on the green algae Ulva lactuca exposed at low tide on the mud at West Mersea. Most authorities now classify this as a separate species but sadly, Clements (2014) does not. I have therefore included both Latin classifications. This bird shows the much darker mantle than Dark-bellied Brent Goose, the white flanks with dark diagonal streaks, the broad white neck band only broken on the back of the neck. This bird has not got a mate and proved quite aggressive to other geese that came a little too close. This race breeds in the Tundra of E. Siberia with a steady westward spread over the last 2 decades. The majority of the population breed in Alaska and NW Arctic Canada.
These birds were regularly seen from the first morning after leaving Canal Beagle and the start of crossing Drake Passage. The closest nesting colonies are on islands off Tierra del Fuego and South Georgia. They tended to come into the stern and have a look in the wake and then drift off. They tended not to stay for prolonged periods like Black-browed Albatrosses, Giant or White-chinned Petrels. Note that this bird has a complete collar unlike immature Black-browed, it also has pale edges to the upper and lower mandible but these are creamy rather than the yellow of adults. It is a very worn individual and this accounts for the lack of greyness around the head. However it did have the palish cap.
We regularly host detox yoga retreats in Hawaii. Our upcoming retreat will be at the Kalani Eco Village on the Big Island, May 10th - 12th.
I regularly see this fine view while driving home on Highway 99 to Vancouver, from skiing Whistler. Happily, this day I actually captured it.....
Women regularly get confetti and other material from the masked men in the parade... We met the parade North of the city center and followed them to the main square. Huge crowd slowed us down. / Ezeket a hölgyeket a busók megszórták valamivel... Tomori utca, itt követtük a busók felvonulását a központig, ahonnan a tömeg miatt inkább egy kerülővel mentünk utánuk a főtérre.
Mohacs, Hungary - pictures taken in the city center during the traditional carnival. We had to walk a lot from outisde the town where we found the nearest parking place (up to 100,000 people attend the carnival each year). Pictures in January 2016, when we visited the carnival with the entire family.
Mohács, Tomori utca - a felvonulókat hatalmas tömeg várta és kísérte mindenfelé. 2016. januárjában jöttünk el a családdal és barátainkkal a mohácsi busójárásra, de a nagy tömeg miatt nem volt kellemes élmény - ugyanakkor mindenképp örültem, hogy a gyerekek látták legalább egyszer ezt az érdekes szokást, és én is sokat fényképeztem.
Beehive Geyser is the tallest regularly-performing geyser in the Geyser Hill Group of Yellowstone's Upper Geyser Basin. Eruption columns are steady, relatively slender, and reach 150 to 200 feet high. In recent years, Beehive Geyser erupts approximately once a day for about five minutes. Eruptions are usually preceded by an eruption from Beehive's Indicator Geyser, located about 7 feet away from the northeastern base of Beehive's cone.
Beehive Geyser's cone is about 4 feet tall and subcylindrical. The vent at the summit is relatively small. The cone itself is composed of geyserite - also called siliceous sinter. Geyserite is a friable to solid chemical sedimentary rock composed of opal (hydrous silica, a.k.a. opaline silica: SiO2·nH2O). It forms by precipitation of hydrous silica from hot spring water. Geyserite is the dominant material at & around Yellowstone hot springs and geysers (the Mammoth Hot Springs area is a major exception to this). The silica in the geyserite is ultimately derived from leaching of subsurface, late Cenozoic-aged rhyolitic rocks by hot and superheated groundwater. Rhyolite is an abundant rock at Yellowstone.
The outer walls of the cyclindrical portion of Beehive's cone are slightly irregular and nondecorated. The summit is mostly covered with nodulose to pustulose geyserite.

This farm regularly floods, positioned as it is on the floodplain of the River Avon (The Warwickshire or Shakespeare's Avon) - This time it hadn't quite become an island - Taken from A428 Coventry Road between Church Lawford and Bretford just after the Sun had come up (just grabbed a few images on the drive into work).
Just used to illustrate a fun look at how the weather and seasons affect the number of views on my walks diary blog .... One or two surprising results found in amongst some predictable figures .... You see what I've blogged with this link if you want : tothehills.wordpress.com/2014/02/02/20140201_seasons-and-...
Family and friends of the crew of Los Angeles-class fast attack submarine USS Houston (SSN 713) gather at the submarine piers at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam for lunch before Houston departs Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam Tuesday, July 15, for a regularly scheduled six-month deployment to the Western Pacific region.

I only wish it was me riding. This was my horse. This woman used to work my horse regularly for me because I didn't have the time to spend with him - my daughters were dancing 7 days a week. I also had a back injury that prevented me most days from being able to ride. I sadly parted ways him with this past summer. He is in a wonderful home and I see him as much now if not more.
