Not a lot to report at the moment. Just put the hoggets on, feed out (The Bosses job), and run the dogs. The Boss is doing some fencing maintenance too, which is pretty hard digging at times as we've had some good frosts.
Feeding the horses everyday, until yesterday when the older two were let out into the better paddock with more grass (the Tutu has finally frosted off) and they haven't even been interested in any hay since, although I bet if I took out the good feed - McMillan's Rapid Gain - they'd still think it a good idea. Rory (the 2 1/2 year old) is still getting his.
I went to bring his feed bucket in the other day and I couldn't work out what on earth he was doing. There was this bashing from the other side of the cottage. Being a young horse you never know what mischief he'll be getting up too, so went around to have a look, and he was using his front hoof to try and break the ice on his trough. It was at least 5cm thick so he wasn't having any luck. I got him a bucket from the house, and it wasn't till next day that he could drink from the trough again.
Now we're just having 130km/h gales, so I thoughtfully let The Boss put the hoggets on this morning!
