Tilly’s life on the farm

Tilly is in a field, kneeling between two very woolly sheep

Hi my name is Tilly. I am 14 years old. I live on our farms in the MegaIong Valley and Wattamondara NSW. I like riding my horse Ruby. I am still learning to ride her. It was hard during COVID because RDA closed. My dream is to be able to canter off lead and do mounted games. I love my sheep and my special cow Bella that eats bananas. One day I would like to learn to class wool.

I was going to High School part time. I get very tired lately. Soon I will try Distance Education. Then I can try to do Agriculture on line. I find writing and maths really hard. My mum is typing this.

Today we are weighing my sheep. I will record it in my sheep scrap book so I know when I can sell some. Then I can maybe buy a new saddle pad for my horse!
