Where it's just me

What a hard morning. No volunteers in today. Once again it makes me appreciate how much easier everything is with extra hands and shovels about. Great to get that little  newly gelded Shetland Barry mixed in with the mares at last. Not much trouble to do either. I think Luya is the ideal little mare for introducing  naughty little ex-colts to girlie stuff. She was so funny guarding her old mother from the little Shetlands.. really squaring up to them both while old Garnlas enjoyed the grazing oblivious to it all. I spend ages this morning picking feet and treating for dreaded thrush. We're using a couple of products, the excellent NAF Hoof and Sole which is brilliant for maintenance and also the Well Pet products, Well Horse and Thrush Off, to add our armoury! The wind is high today and drying out the mud fast, blustery and with a bit of a chill to it but the sun grows warmer everyday. We're just about ready to order our American barn style isolation box and rubber matting, exciting times, and a bit of respite thanks to the wonderful supporters at Saddle -Up, for this charity that has scraped by and done without for so very very long.
