Arrive at field this morning to find my pony with the remnants of a pile of haylage, to make it worse it will be the green ryegrass horsehage.
I'm so mad, I've asked the guy who owns other horse in field not to feed mine haylage, he doesn't need it and I'm trying to use the winter to get weight off him. I have provided this guy with hay blocks so he can give mine one at night when he feeds his horse and I feed mine suitable feed in the morning also.
I've just spoken to him and he said he felt sorry for mine because it was so cold last night, I've explained again that am I dieting him, he doesn't need the haylage and I am feeding him and that I actually went up last night to give my boy some extra oat straw so he had something to chomp on if it did snow. The guy obviously went up after and even though he could see he had his head in bucket he still fed him!
Sorry just had to rant, I felt like saying he's not your pony to decide what he needs....... And breathe!
To make things even better I got a stone chip on way home and auto glass have said the whole windscreen needs replacing so have just had to fork out £100 excess :-(
