Welsh-trained MS stack developer, primarily Azure focused. Away from the computer my life is filled with animals, including a house full of cats and dogs no-one else seems to want, and a field of horses and ponies that give life a lot more reason <3
Just to highlight to all Equestrians and other supporters of The Brooke's amazing work, they are here sharing their message @brookecharity.bsky.social #horsefeed #animalwelfare #charity
At Brooke we care greatly for horses, donkeys and mules and we share advice, training, resources and compassion to help improve their lives everyday...

OK, none of my friends understand what it is, and my work don't really care but I consider ongoing learning important so going to shout here that I passed the AZ-104 Azure Administrator exam this morning. YAY me, and this time I'll remember to watch the renewal dates lol

Well, it was nice getting out as normal at the weekend, but poor little Lacey, whose Cushings has not caused problems for several years has gone 4/4 lame with lami :'(

So, clipped, feet scrubbed and booted, and "stabled" in the field shelter. We know the drill, but never nice seeing them so unhappy

Good morning & welcome to Roast Dinner Day

Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do.
But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength.

A quick hack around the block with William this morning. I got scared at the gate again & went backwards faster than I can go forwards! Mummy smacked my bum & encouraged me forwards, but I wasn’t have any of it. William went in front, then I was good. Mummy made me work hard up the steep hill. 😮‍💨

After a messed up few weeks today was more normal. Got to go up the field as a family (H, myself and the 4 pups) now we have our car back (thanks DHL driver, in future watch the road not your phone). Changed Rex into his new rug (the 200 fill was too heavy) and got cuddles whilst I cleaned the field

Just sharing a few photos from yesterday afternoon, up the field in the break between the storms #ponyhour #horsefeed. Chrys being a good girl about having her rug put on, and her mum Jean enjoying some mince pies ❤️

If you need a break from what will no doubt be a LOT of bleak political discussion today, may I suggest a pair of spectacularly gorgeous images of colliding galaxies taken using Hubble and JWST?

Sorry I've been quiet lately as dealing with numerous disasters. We're all in one piece though and the ponies have not wanted for anything in the bad weather (though they'd probably say they need bigger feeds). Here's hoping everyone on the #horsefeed and generally has a safe and happy 2025

📝 We'd love to hear from anyone over 16 who owns, loans or shares an equine in the UK! The survey should only take a few minutes to complete and will make a real difference as we continue communications with government ministers and MPs in 2025.

🐴 Are you a horse owner or sharer?

🎆 Fireworks were debated in parliament recently but there is a lack of evidence to show how they can affect animals or people.

Redwings wants to help address that evidence gap and has launched a short survey for horse owners.

Welcome Redwings Angels to our 'tail' full of cheer,
to a magical land with ponies so dear.
In fields of winter, where the sky shines bright,
lives our pantomime hero, little pony Snow White.

Safe to say we had some rain overnight. Looking forward to a day in good company catching up on field cleaning, and hopefully bringing down my blood pressure before the new week starts #horsefeed
