Horse Groundhog Day
It was certainly more interesting when my Forest ponies were out on the Forest or up at the Reserve in Hook. Still, it is easier to be able to keep a daily check on them, assess their condition, and react when needed. Theoden is the only one that is showing a rib and so he has started on a winter feed with some supplements for his joints and his soles. Everyone else is eating grass and being passified with last year's hay until they too begin to drop some weight. I am particularly pleased with Jack whose body is reacting well to the Prascend.
Meanwhile, our work continues with bonfires to clear the excess brambles before we can put up the new post and rail fence.
