I'm going to try a muzzle to start with, see if i can keep it on her for longer than an hour,by way of a strap to her heacollar noseband, failing that it will be an electric fence job and possible in at night, just going to see how we progress. How long can they have Cushings before things start...
Hi Guys,
Its been a while since i've been on here!

She's not pregnant, or at least she shouldn't be!

Any Ideas anyone?
