News from the barn is that Jack is happily taking half a pink pill every day and long may that last. Lots of horses go off their food when they are given this drug.
The two big horses are still on box rest and due to an altercation, they have been given separate compartments - it still gives them plenty of room but they can eat their limited food in peace.
The two girls and Henrietta are on a similar regime but outside on restricted grazing. After two weeks I can safely say that they are all still compact and bijoux.
In the canteen today we have soaked hay...
Dried nettles (so not these yet)...
and bunny (not Buddy) holly which isn't spiky.
Despite everything they still seem to love me, but it is definitely cupboard love.
This is how their fields look at the moment:
The barefoot trimmer, Cheyenne Korbutt-Brown, is coming tomorrow to give us some more advice, and afterwards we are hoping to receive two extra mares coming in off the Forest while I try to find them a home. These belong to a friend.
