June Drifter - Countryfile Calendar

The one of the birds and village is where I grew up
I can’t choose my favourite they are all wonderful

Love that village. Am missing Northumberland and can’t wait to get back. This part of Lincolnshire is very “pleasant” but it’s not the same
 
That's a lot clearer than I could see. Look at the laminitic growth rings across the front of the forward hoof and then the toe dumped off. That's a pony who hasn't had good hoof care for a long time. I remember a donkey that lived near me years ago with the same sort of hooves, though even worse.
 
It's the first thing I saw in that photo (I always notice feet first these days!). Much clearer in the blow up, thanks Tiddlypom. What a shame, because the other photos chosen are wonderful, especially the mouse in the apple, and the hares. But I couldn't look at a pony with feet like that for a month....bad choice IMO.
 
Well I guess the photographic selectors aren't horse people but, yes, could not look at that for a month. Wonder if there is any way to get message via the photographer to the owners/carers (if any) of the pony so that it can have some attention???
 
Abi90, I bet it does get busy. It looks lovely. I have heard of the name Alnmouth but never been. I know of other people who grew up in Northumberland and want to move back - has to be a good sign!
