The time is upon us for the switch up of routine and preparing for Winter. We have summer and winter fields so I always check the fence line, tidy up any hedges and trees before moving the horses to a new field. This year will be our first year since we’ve been on livery that we’re in a different winter field, which is very exciting.
Although technically it is further away from the barn for haynets, turnout and feeding I won’t have to carry anything up muddy slippy hills as it’s more or less flat and on hard standing all the way to the hay feeders.
There is a beautiful new wooden post and rail fence complete with new automatic trough on hard standing which the next door farm put in. My only concern is that Tissy, the wood muncher, may chew it but it’s going to have a run of electric along the top and it’s creosoted so hopefully she thinks better of it, otherwise I’m going to have to fence off the fencing!
The best bit about moving fields is watching the horses have their first run around, explore and get straight onto munching fresh grass!
