I was looking at my fields this morning thinking I needed a herd of skinny thoroughbreds rather than 3 good doers who I swear are getting fatter by the minute.
Usually by now the track would be all the way round the 2 acre field but I'm inching forward by tiny amounts. I needed to swing around a tree last night so they got a few feet and the Appy is stiff and grumpy this morning and the two ponies look like they've been gorging on doughnuts. Even the bald bits have bright green shoots sticking up.
When I bought the fields the owner said the top one never grew good grass. I stripped grazed through that earlier this year then fenced off the middle giving them just a few feet around the edge to access hedges and the shelter. The middle looked poor back in June (south east - we had no rain). Its now mid calf length bright green grass.
Its that annoying stage where its obviously growing at a million miles but its too short to muzzle the Appy
