Taking to her Instagram, the Our Yorkshire Farm presenter, also known as the Yorkshire Shepherdess, posted some photographs of her daughters in the field near their farm, Ravenseat, playing with their horses.

"There's schooling and there's schooling," wrote Amanda in the caption, adding: "I know that they'll go into class with a faint whiff of horse and scurf on their socks, but they'll also have big smiles and a story to tell."

And her children have also been getting involved.

While sharing a series of photos of her young kids on site at 'Anty Johns' – the derelict farmhouse they're renovating – her large brood were wearing hard hats, enjoying snacks and getting involved with the hard graft.

"They will be oblivious to this post, but any proclamation at just exactly how proud I am of them all will not even figure as they already know. They wave, smile and chat to unknowns, exude energy, positivity, raw honesty, give away time, eggs and bunches of rhubarb. Sometimes.

 "They also argue, bicker, fight, swear and skive in no particular order. I do too. That is reality. You've just got to keep going."
