A few more foal snaps!

Mirador

Sad decision today to put Mirador down, we had been fighting to get his feet right as they were constantly abscessing and felt he no longer had enough quality of life. Obviously gutting as this is our first foal loss and and he was an incredibly sweet person, always the way.

Field move for the herd!

Brian was able to take the bales off the field today so the main herd went on to it to graze the headlands. Mule charged out pointing out she'd been in solitary for 48 hours, the move was all her doing and could they be eternally grateful?

Some foal snaps!

A bit moderate!

Well it rained, not much more to say than that really, as Mark says "when your field is greening up and you haven't baled its not a good sign"! Still it is baled now, 103 bales I believe, it looked absolutely fabulous on Sunday night but no use crying over spilt milk (and soggy grass).

Mark worked Mouse around the bales tonight, giving the retired horses an opportunity to do their "We Three Kings" impression, they do prove to be harsh critics though. Mule is missing from the herd as she decided yesterday the cut field looked far superior to the one she was in. The first time she moved she was spotted (I asked Mark why he had the binoculars out "looking at your bl**dy mule on the wrong side of the fence") caught and returned, the second time she ended up in the fence. The clue was the sad honkey donkey noises she was making, a mule with grass up to its lugs does not make sad heee haws. Once extracted from the fence she was placed in a stable for her own safety, she is unamused.
