It's all about the horses

Called up to the horses this morning and they were in great form, munching away on a mixture of hay and lucerne, and rugless. Fani has been taking their rugs off every morning and putting them back on in the evening, with beautiful sunny days they seem to be fine, so if Martine is OK with this I will keep to this routine.

Gigi's tail got a bit damaged somewhere along the way but I was expecting that, she loves to rub it !

While I was there Fani asked if I would mind another mare going in with our two, they all arrived at the same time and have been in adjacent paddocks, mutually grooming over the wire, so we put them together and everything was fine. Flurry had a bit of a canter and didn't seem tender footed at all, ditto Gigi but she did seem a bit stiff, but not too bad. Then Fani took a few people out on a hack and Gigi was very interested in that !

Roxy met Shrek, the local hound, and they played around for a bit until Roxy discovered the horse droppings and started tucking in !

It was great to see the horses so settled, the ground in the paddock has some top surface of mud on it, but it is probably a bit hard for them, but they seemed OK. I'll go up this evening and rug them up
