more rain again!

kept them in this morning to save the grass a bit.. not that it'll do a huge amount of good, but still...they went out for an hour this afternoon...

on molly's quantity of eating. it occurs to me, last year when she was in for 6 weeks whilst her legs recovered from whatever it was that caused the hair to fall out, she wasn't pigging out like this..... there was always something left... and i'm sure i wasn't feeding more haylage than i am this year!

why i keep thinking i might ride in an afternoon i don't know.. clearly isn't going to happen this week, anyway!

looks like it may be an expensive winter with not much grass, wish I had some answers but the method I've used is labour intensive (giving small regular nets) so no help for you.
It's too cold (-10.5 this morning brrr) for rain here but we are on a snw warning :-( just as mil is due to fly home.

As I've said, my guys are scarfing up hay too. Now that my last load included a lot of second cutting--the super nice stuff--they will want even more.

Maybe too, Molly is moving around a lot more with her "boyfriend" than she's done in the past??? More exercise, more food....

Likewise, am starting to get a little bored of soggy paddocks and glutenous ponies! Hope we get a little break from it soon :)
