well, we didn't fully test it.
Gaynor went down when she got home from work to check Charlie, and had no trouble catching him and no grief from Molly - although she did send Molly away once!
I went down later to check molly (it was nessie's day for the "op" andhad to collect her for 6 pm, so not planning any work with Molly).
Took me a good while to catch her, eventually caught charlie and led him down to the gate and molly followed at a small distance.
not totally sure she wanted to be caught, moved away when i went to her; i got a handful of grass and that did it.
hurray. but i wonder if she was being particularly cautious after the several tellings off she got yesterday when misbehaving? not that i have any issue with her being told off, she deserved it (gaynor still has marks on her arm!)...
i needed her on the other side of the gate for a small amount of feed with her supplements in, and to apply fly spray!
as she put her head down to eat, they were both spooked by the fly fisherman on the beach - i ended up feeding her handfuls from my hand!
i had been going to top up the water, but i could see they had enough and had run out of time, bearing in mind i had to get back to stable, put cycle away etc and then get to houghton for nessie!
