Hi my name is gill and I live with my family on our small croft in rural Aberdeenshire.

We have three and a half horses all Arabs except the half which is a welsh Sec A. We also have various chooks and are preparing to have some weaner's in the very near future. I would also like some soay sheep. We produce our own hay every year and have been lucky so far with it. Touch wood.

I have had horses most of my life and have practiced natural horsemanship for the last 8yrs. I would like to have our pony broken to harness but I might have to get somebody else to do that for me.

Hi Gill, welcome from north Cumbria.  I have Fells & Dales ponies and am learning about breaking them to harness and to ride.  But rather slowly and not very good at it...

We farm beef and sheep commercially, I have OSB pigs (actually just one gilt, she'll have company when I get her bred!), a Jersey house cow, chooks and no more Muscovy ducks till someone catches that *&^%$ mink...

Hi Sally sounds like you have your hands full. I just love Cumbria what a wonderful place to live.

Forgot to say that my OH produces chilli sauces and jams and I produce hand made soaps, bath and body products, Thats in our spare time Oh works full time and is often overseas and I work part time as well.  We have three children the youngest being 5.
