Today Tiddles, Albie and Storm went to live in the container paddock.

The others were on the new track that is around the paddock so they could see them but couldn’t get out.

There was a little playing.

I stayed firm despite pleadings.

This is the new track which will slowly increase in size as they finish their grass allocation.

Those in the container paddock get soaked haynets – one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

In the evening (well, 3.30 p.m.), Fivla and Vitamin go into their stall in the big shed for the night and everyone else goes into the container paddock for a soaked high-fibre bucket.  They also get two more soaked haynets for the night which they apparently share.  The old ladies get buckets.

So, that’s the new regime.  I have cut back on 4 bucket feeds as well as 2 soaked haynets and been given back some time.  Last night, I slept for 10 hours.  I am exhausted so this will hopefully be easier for me.  Let’s hope we’ve got through the worst now.

And was Storm pleased to see his friends again?  No, he stood twanging the fence at me in a rage that he couldn’t join them to eat grass. I waved my poo-picking stick at him and told him to stop or I would electrify that fence too!
