Whinnyhill Farm is a rescue farm for horses whose owners no longer want them or can’t afford to keep them anymore. The economy has made things much worse for the horses.

two blind boys. see how there loved


He snuffles towards

He snuffles towards
pouches of water in the grass
and doesn't drink
when he finds them.

He twitches listlessly
at sappy grass stems and stands
stone still, his hanging head
caricatured with a scribble
of green whiskers.

Sometimes that head swings high,
ears cock - and he stares
down a long sound,
he stares and whinnies
for what never comes.

His eyes never close,
not in the heat of the day
when his leather lip droops and
he wears blinkers of flies.

At any time of the night
you hear him in his dark field
stamp the groung, stamp
the world down, waiting impatiently
for the light to break

old horse

OLD HORSE



Old horse old horse what brought you here
Carted stones this many's the year
Killed by stones and sore abuse
They salt you down for sailors' use
A warrior am I and at war I've been
Fighting for my country and king
Now I'm old and I'm in decay
It's poor old horse get on your way



My keeping once was the stable wall
Free from all cold winds and harm
Now in the fields I am forced to go
Turned out in the cold and rain and snow



My feeding once was the oats and hay
That grew in the fields and the meadows gay
Now I'll get no such at all
But pull at the short grass by the wall



The sailors they do me despise
Kick my body and damn my eyes
Cut my meat and pick my bones
Throw the rest to Davey Jones



Here is a hoof that was so well shod
Likewise a hide that sweat so hard
Whipped him lashed him drove him down
Rise up old horse and shine again

its hot today but this oldie i wrote in 99 will cool every thing offlol

ice water anyone 22 January, 2009 2 comments WHINNYHILL FARM WERE CRITTERS ARE MORE WELCOME THEN THE HUMANS WHO THREW THEM AWAY.. WERE THE BARN LITE IS ALWAYS ON,THE FEED BINS ARE FULL,AND THE HA Well.now that the deep freeze has set in,The once warm farm is now a big chore..the pump froze (we dont ussally have it this cold but 1 degrees was a bit much),so out came the 7 gallon plastic containers that had to be pain stakingly filled with half gallon milk juggs.and those gallon ice tea juggs (wich are nice and thick)that iv been saving all summer sure came in handy for the mini barn..iI set out just before day break in the dark to give my kids a long awaited drink but found the troughs filled to the top and iced over..ugg!i fumbled around in the faint lite looking for my axe but settled for the wood chopper with the big handle...I chopped and chopped to no avail.now i had to find empty buckets wich i did and they all refreshed them selves (all 19 of em) now being from the north originaly you would of thought id remember about frozen water.. so im sayen this now lol...when ya know a deep freeze is a comen !!leave room in the trouphs to be able to place fresh water for the horses to get a nice drink.and when it thaws if you can dump the ice water and get fresh.. ok your thinking oh why dont she use heaters? well due to this hills there no electric except in the barn(shed row) cant put a heater in all the buckets,each stall has 2 water buckets.no can do..but its ok ill just get up later and turn up the sun..
