🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 What a weekend🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
One most fav places ever..
Once Yinni & Nala's Birth place to remember, appreciate, learn and walk where they walked.
💞New wild flowers all the time 💞

💛💛 🔆🔆Update🔆🔆 💛💛
Hope everyone had a wonderful Chrissy and New years with Fam, Friendz & Loved ones Xx

Nalla has come so so far, So super proud of her she blows us away each and every moment spent with her! We are So very lucky, she is such a gift xx💯

We have been super busy with the Fam, visitors 2 and 4 legs kinds 😛🦄

Sharing Our area & fav spots with Beautiful Friendz who Lov Brums as much as we do 🥰

Kosciuszko Mountain walks,
Blue Waters Holes, Long Plains, Yarrangobilly River Area, 3 mile Dam and many more..
🌸🌼🏵 Wild flowers are just superb right now👌🏽

😏 I believe someone...
🥰 has a new favourite Human 🥰

❤❤❤Sister Love❤❤❤
Like they have always known each other!!
Watching them run & play is the best part of our day👌🏽
Yarra has only ever shared buckets with one other in the past 4 years..
Now We just have to get Nallas rug on to be twinning 😄🐴🐴

10 weeks since We first met..
5 weeks being home...

Fav things to do is to hang out..
Maybe.. definitely laying in the sun and in the grass while she grazes..
She loves her brushing time & walks together..
Loves carrots🥕 but not apples 🍎🍏yet she still flicking them out of her feed bucket ☺🪣
Also made friends with the Rooster🐓 🤔😁
Definitely more comfortable with little ppl around 👌🏽🙏🥰👣..

Quite extraordinary the change in Nalla! I believe the word is trust💞

Her confidence & differences in the last week is outstanding🐴
I am so glad she is home🗻
She is part of the family now🥰

I can not even begin to imagine what she was going through..

Taken from her home & family, a little over a month ago she dropped her foal who was about 6 months along..
We were waiting for some training to be done so we left her in Victoria with Yinni to be transported together.
The uncertainty she must of been going through 💔
And that is only what I know to be true.

🥰Can't wait to watch her grow 🥰

Left Thursday, dropped off 2 little friends at Glenrowan 🐴🐴
Thanks for your hospitality Deb an Fam and of course Mandy & Fam for everything xx

Got back Friday night just as the snow started..

Friday night was a wonderful surprise for everyone as little Miss Fluffy Buttercup was a complete total surprise!!!

Everyone has settled in really well!

This week has been about figuring out feed routines and baby steps with introducing new people and things.
Tomorrow we start more with Nalla ..🐴💞🙌

Monday night Tom came to check and Ultrasound Yinni's Leg ..
Removal of the bandages displayed infection in the bone & Ultrasound confirmed tendons barly connected...

So for the last act of kindness we had to let our Stunning Soulful Blue Boy go from this world
💔💔💔💔..

It has rocked everyone to the absolute core..
Even the Brums weren't there usual selves yesterday.
Thankyou to those who did everything possible to help Yinni & ourselves through this difficult devastating time.
💔💔💔💔💙💙💙💔💔💔💔

Update..
We have been waiting for the weather and transport to align as we can not truck if we have any snow or ice on the roads.

I got a call on Wednesday (6th) saying Yinni Blue had got his leg wrapped in wire..
My Heart dropped 💔💔💔💔💔..

Thankfully Mandy and Rohan were there with Blue. I can not imagine what that must of been like for them.. 💔💔💔💔💔🐴💔💔💔

1st Vet ..
She said she Suspected Extensor and Flexor tendon damage lateral aswell as dorsal.. complicated wounds down to the bone.
Cleaned and wrapped but swollen by this stage so could not confirm and talked about euthanasia from a welfare point.
Second phone call on Friday night from Vet Ruby said is complicated spoke to the surgeon and wanted to cast it for upward of $6000. for 6 weeks and box/stable rest.

For Me ...Gutted would be and understatement at this point..

Mandy and I agree on many things and we need to at least try the cast. Yinni Blue is still young and do not feel he was brought into our lives for just these fleeting moments. We have so much love for this Boy he is one of family..
Can not wait to watch him grow and mature and for everyone to meet him 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Dakoda and myself left Friday night got here yesterday for the 2nd Vets Tom's opinion..
It was similar assessment but with a difference...
His cost for casting Yinni Blue Leg is $500 .. YES YES you read it right!!!

So the plan is to Cast leg on Monday.
Dakoda and myself are down here.. We will make a plan today regarding transporting him closer and even Home But he needs to be undercover for the cast to stay dry.. at the moment we only have Yards.. so lots to think about.

So needing everyone to send love and healing for his full recovery
And to bring them both home!!

💗💗💗💗🐴🐴💗💗💗💗

Progress of the last couple of days, On the way home picked up panels, checked out the last place Ned Kelly last stood.. Had the pleasure of meeting Deb & some fresh new Brums😍🐴
Plus Saw an old mate on the Snowy Mountain on Hwy 🥰..
Got home unloaded/ set up yards and in the rain had the help of the one & only Miss Yarra 🦄 supervising cutting new tubs for feed for Yinni & Nalla today😊👌🏽👌🏽

Slight change in plans for today due to this crazy cold and wet weather🌧🌫🌬
Got to spend time with Yinni & even Dakoda came in to love on him touch him all over 💙
I did managed to get some video this time.. a little hard to video and work one handed 🤏😀

Such an honour to have this privilege to walk a Journey with these Animals.
Was super scary for me around the responsibilities stuff but something that I've wanted for so long don't let fear stop you.. Definitely follow your heart totally worth every moment.

So Much Gratitude for a couple of very special people for this to happen Xx.
To think of the possible fate these stunning creatures would have had if Melbourne Brumbie Rehomers did not exist.. 🙏🙏

As some of you may not know is that the parks require you to take a minimum of 5 Brumbies at a time. Which is just out of reach for us at this time. Until we are fully set up with BarefootGuides Property.. Which We are very certainly working towards!
Defs let me know if you are interested Brumbies are life changing!!!
I can whole heartily say that they save lives.

💙

Over 600 km traveled.. Blizzards, Rain, Fog, Snow, Hwys and stunning Rolling Green hills 😊

The first moments We meet ...
Total Love with Dakoda & Nalla 🥰

So lucky he trusted me enough to touch his head 🥰🥰🥰
No words 💙💜👌🏽💞💞
