I’m going into town for a meal later so have had to do everything early. It is raining so that is helping too. The sheep also wanted in at lunchtime and the Shetland ponies were in their containers sheltering.
I generously filled two small-hole double haynets and tied them into their boxes.
That should keep everyone occupied for a while and hopefully fill them up.
Pepper obviously was my constant three-legged companion. She is managing suprisingly well on three, sometimes four, legs. The slice off her front pad is healing nicely and she has day dressings and at night, when she can’t escape, a baby’s sock to keep the wound dry and clean while airing. So far, this method is working. Her stitches are booked to come out on Monday, all being well. Pepper is also grounded and not going on walks – only allowed outside with me doing chores. Ted still has to go on dog-walks which he hates and runs straight home the minute he can.
The other support team is helpful to the extreme.
Not!
But he’s around and shouty if someone (him) might be starving.
In the big field, the horses and ponies are rotating the use of the shed. Mostly it is a battle of wills between Kolka and Fivla and Vitamin, though I have seen Haakon briefly standing in there. Iacs, never. He is not that kind of wuss.
The never-ending feed machine continues, just earlier today. Everyone probably thought it was their birthday!
