October 21st is Apple Day here in the UK it's been an autumnal festival since it's launch in 1990 by the charity Common Ground.

"Over the years, Apple Day has been celebrated in a wonderful variety of ways by a diverse range of people. Doctor’s surgeries, coronary support groups, the Cancer Research Campaign have taken Apple Day as a novel way of encouraging healthy eating. Each year, alongside tasting, juicing, baking, pruning and grafting, an imaginative array of games and creative activities have flourished – ranging from simple apple printing to mummers’ apple plays, new songs and poetry evenings. But invariably, year after year, the most popular event is the display, tasting and buying of numerous varieties of apples and the presence of an expert to aid identification."

Find out more at the Common Ground website.

Celebrate Apple Day by eating an apple or making a pie.

And remember

PONIES LIKE APPLES TOO!

Love this adorable soft sculpture donkey made by Regina of Oh albatross

"a somber little donkey, handmade from vintage wool. she's taken a day off from helping in the garden and is dressed for a fine day with a sash of antique velvet ribbon and a spray of fabric flowers. like most donkeys, she has exceptional hearing, and will always offer a nuzzle for a bit of carrot or apple.

she's approx 5.5" tall, stuffed with wool and finished with tiny embroidery stitches."

Available to purchase from the Ohalbatross Etsy shop.

If you're planning on letting your children have riding lessons read an instructor's thoughts on teaching children to ride.

And here's one to watch Walt Disney's 1950's Goofy cartoon How to Ride a Horse.

Enjoy!

 

This photographic print by award winning Jeff Friesen ticks a lot of boxes in the girls room decor department

It's pink

It's girly

It's horsey

and

It's gorgeous!

Jeff says, "There's a reason that barn interiors are not usually decorated with mirrors. Given the opportunity horses will compulsively check their manes and forget to do basic farmyard tasks such as prancing about looking somewhat heroic.

Hey, if you've got it, flaunt it."
