But I will pass on any updates or photos, given that he is prone to shaggy yak of doom look in winter I think I'll have to wait until clip time to see what he is hiding under his current fuzz load.
I love yaks too, which is why the Iceys are so wonderful! They are actually ALLOWED to be seen in public in all that hair
:wub Yes I'm converting to fluffy gaited horses
Cassie all my girls are pasture fed and only get supplemented with hay over the winter. We tend to have fairly good grazing so even when the grass is low they get enough good stuff out of it.
I only add hard feed in when they come into the smaller paddocks to foal, usually a month out from due date. Then mum and bubs are back out onto delicious spring grass
Bree...I think the grass really is greener on the other side when I read your posts....You and Anna both!! your countryside must be beautiful....I wish I had grass!!
boy...rereading my post "I wish I had grass" makes it sound like my hippie days holding up the Peace signs!!
Although right now I'm coming out of a bad summer in my area, VERY dry followed by a bad Autumn for last minute growth so our winter grazing is rather scrappy.
We've spent the time reseeding some of the paddocks and fertilizing our hay paddock. Thankfully we bought in an area known for good rainfall so even a bad year gives us enough grazing and hay to survive on.
Magni visit this weekend
I get to test his new brushes out on him, see what gear I have that fits him and generally fluff about with him on Sunday. On Monday we're hopefully going to a nearby indoor arena to do some "serious work" together in a different environment AND probably have a lesson with their visiting German trainer. Can't wait!!!
haha oh yeah man totally on the stuff day n night ya know?
can't stand smoking of any sort so no way I could do any of that grass lol thought it was a bit of fun though!
I agree with you Bree, if we get a good summer we can have lovely grass like we have at the moment bad summer though can be really really hard. we have just had some more rain today and on the weekend (perfect timing) so that should boost the cattle pricing (fingers crossed) and we are going to really downsize our herds so we can maintain our paddocks better
have fun on the weekend Bree! I'm sure you will come back with lots of fun stories to share with us.
