MAYBE NOT!

Spoke too soon, winter arrived again yesterday and boy did it rain...two weeks of luxury and warm sun...I thought we were home and dry to summer. But Nope the fields are now muddy and flooded once again! The vet came for Tilley and said we had to call the farrier again before time to try to trim her feet as it might help....So Meg came that afternoon and did them....a lot better than the last time, MEG was on holiday and we had some different guys, some trainees I think...Shall we say....I think we will wait until Meg isn't on holiday next time...got more faith in her! So tilley all trimmed and fancy free, painkillers done and see how she goes. Meanwhile the vet looked at Spring and Storm and said they need to be restricted and off hard feed, they are far to fat, apparently they shouldn't look like barrels!!! Glad I had my coat on or I could have been next! So today I have been installing an electric fence and restricted area for the 3 of them....Ruby is allowed where she likes still, I tried...stupidly to put the fence up with the three horrors in the paddock and found myself in a right state, Spring had the fence in her mouth running around whilst Tilley scat over all the poles and Storm had it wrapped around her leg running up the paddock. SO after cursing loudly and visions of people ringing some men in white coats, I got in control of the situation and let them into another field whilst I sorted everything. They now have a new field. Ruby can still see them but cant have contact , but I think it will be ok they can still talk to each other, just cant run together. See if we can make our ponies thin!...or thinner should I say.
