This is the life

Owners Merrilyn and Tony have four children – three sons and a daughter, aged 15 to 24 – and all travel to the property whenever they can. If not relaxing or helping with improvements, they take care of stockhorse Mouse (below left) and warmblood Mackenzie, who are agisted elsewhere during the week. Though it’s a lot of work, the rewards are many. As Merrilyn puts it: “We finally got the farm Tony’s always talked about!”
