We're enjoying this bit of mellow autumn that has arrived by chance at EMW-UK Herefordshire. The leaves on our wonderful old trees are still green but it won't be long before they turn fabulous jewel colours. The horses and ponies are all plump and ready for winter without too much worry and when it's like this then life is good.
You know it's going to be a great autumn day when it dawns with fog that melts into duck egg blues and warm sunshine.I've been busy splashing that wonderful stuff, creosote, about. We're getting the old barn ready for cladding it with warm thick kick boarding. cosying it up before winter for our old guys who spend a bit of time indoors when it's chilly. I don't mid these jobs, they are kind of satisfying but brushing off the old wooden beams ready to coat them wasn't much fun, bird poo and mouse droppings a-plenty not to mention those monster spiders hiding in the nooks and crannies..... good job it was me and not Maria or Amy doing the job..they'd have a run a mile!

It's that time of the month when we do a quick tally of what NAF supplements we are using, for what and for who. all listed are great N.A.F. products.
Right now we're giving Linseed oil to Beau - since his extensive dental work he's picking up on condition fast but we'll keep him on this as it's a great way of adding condition without adding bulk. Of course Pink Powder goes without saying but is always wonderful and keeps all on it in tip-top condition.

Jimmy is having Pro-Feet liquid to help his typical TB feet. Although he has always been barefoot and is fine his hoof wall is a bit thin in places and he does get a bit 'footy' when the ground is really hard.
Willow, Chadd and Luya are all on Laminaze, prevention being better than cure. right now with the grass flushing again and full of sugars all these three are under some restriction once more. Old hay is great for bulk and even better soaked or steamed ( Note: EMW-UK would love a hay steamer but do not have the funds to purchase one) Now that the air quality is improved Willow is no longer on Respirator Boost but my goodness what a product, it put his breathing right within just 2 days, we cannot thank NAF enough for their support and assistance with EMW-UK horses and ponies and their needs.
We are also using NAF Midge-off and D-itch for Luna our resident sweet-itcher, she also is having equine Brewers Yeast, and has still got mane and tail hair despite it being a strong midge year.
We also love NAF teatree oil shampoo for our itchy lot and Seaweed supplement is absolutely brilliant as a boost. Watch this space next month for more news on our sanctuary horses and NAF products.
