A Tango with Bertie !!......or was it a Moon Walk !!

This is Bertie....he is a Ryland Ram.....gorgeous and very friendly !!!....

Tango or Moon Walk....you decide ?....


Beautiful hand carved Roaking Horse.....made by Carl at Willow Bank Alpacas....


Carl, Lisa and Bertie.....having a playful moment with Relentless


Lily and Pebbles.....having a cuddle....


Last Wednesday, when I was on my holidays....at Wellground we had a little delivery to make for Willow Bank Alpacas in Leicestershire.


It was time to take Wellground Tchickovsky to his new home. After loading him up we travelled approx 3 hrs north to meet Carl, Lisa, Lily and the Willow Bank Gang.


Tchaikovsky travelled without any problems, we stopped and checked him to make sure all was well and when I looked into the van, he was sitting quite happily with the odd ear twitch as he listened to his surroundings.


When we arrived the sun was shining and we were met by Carl & Lisa who were obviously very excited, the doors had hardly opened and they were already in to admire and check over their lovely new fawn boy !


After a little inspection and an introduction to Lilly their gorgeous little girl we went to settle the new boy into his new paddock.


We had a look at Wellground Relentless who is their first herdsire also from the Wellground Stables ! Relentless looked amazing a very handsome young Macho, he is growing up nicely and will soon be ready to work this year for his first season.Carl is a very skilled wood carver and makes a number of very beautiful and intricate carvings, I especially love the hand crafted Rocking Horses.....that he has made. I just had to share a photo or two of my lovely visit to Willow Bank Alpacas.


As we were in the field admiring Relentless, we had another woolly friend. It was Bertie the Ryland Ram, he is adorable and very friendly. Bertie was getting slightly excited and he reminded me a little bit of Norris ! He began to run after Carl and Lisa with Relentless...then he decided to take a run over to see Rob......and set off at a right old pace.....

At one point it looked like Bertie was going to give Rob a Glaswegian hand-shake ! for those who aren't familiar with the saying.....it looked like he was going to stick the nut on Rob !!!!

However.....never underestimate the quick stepping technique of Rob...he was swift on his feet in reverse and managed to dodge Bertie heading towards him at high speed......

I managed to record the moment....just for the record.....and we all had a good laugh !!

It would be wrong of me to suggest that Rob was light on his loafers !.....however Michael Jackson....would have been proud...of the fast footwork, not quite the Moonwalk...

I have been persuaded to show the moment.......so here is the Wellground....Moonwalk !!


Only one more thing to say ...........



OOUUHH............Jermone !!!!!!!

Wow, what a beautiful ram!
That rocking horse is lovely. I can't imagine being able to make something like that.
