64 and 18. I can see myself looking for one more as this lass eases into a quieter life. A youngster about the place will keep her spritely. Or so I tell OH.

Fair comment about the rain! Though I find, for me, the compensations outweigh it.

It's been many years since I was there but overall I found it hotter in the summer and colder in the winter. In many other regards it was rather similar to the UK.

It's taken many, many years to finally get back down to Cornwall and I'm never moving away again! It rarely gets over 25 in the summer, nor below -1 in the winter, with more sunshine than many parts of the UK. We have beaches and moors to ride on, and the most wonderful network of bridleways and...

One of the finest ponies I ever drove was a Shetland x Welsh A. I am very envious of you and your sweet little new addition :)

I can only comment on my own experience but I actually prefer the gusset further forward. My mare is a big moving Welshie and the rug seems more steady on her during all her various antics. Definitely no rubbing and no restrictions on silly Welsh cob airs above the ground.

Lami app showing v. high risk here in Cornwall.

I've had Newfies for many years but it's not a breed I foresee for my dotage. I'm not especially house-proud but even a semblance of 'clean & tidy' is a lot of hard work when living with a Newfoundland. I've found myself looking (oh-so-casually you understand) at rescue greyhounds recently...

Done :)

As should we have done. But it was a judge who'd liked ours as a puppy and we were young and foolhardy back then!
