The switch to summer grazing always makes me happy, it signifies the changing of the clocks, the coming of sunnier days and happy ponies munching green grass. We got some great footage of the horses first setting foot on their summer field on the drone……but Dan crashed into a tree during landing and the footage was lost…..so you’ll have to take my word that they were very exuberant.
This year I’ve decided to split my allocated grazing into two long sections so that I can rotate the horses every 2-3 weeks. The grass hasn’t grown much and I’m hoping this will give us some consistent grazing. There is also something very satisfying about an equally spaced neat section of electric fencing…..or is that just me?
I took advantage of the warm weather we’ve been having to give Tissy a bath now she’s off the muddy winter field. So she is now more white than Staffordshire clay brown! I even fit her leather tack so that she can go out on some hunt fun rides this season.
