Ragwort - it's a pain in the posterior but a fact of life when you own/loan/share a horse/pony.
It has sprung up from nowhere on our farm. The farm owners are frantically trying to get the haylage in while the weather is (so far) good. So me, hubby & our 3 year old daughter (who has taken on the role of supervisor!!) have spent about an hour or so each evening going round the farm and removing the dreaded weed. Just to give the owners a helping hand. We're not getting anything for doing it apart from fresh air and exercise!
Nice to know the other liveries care about their horses as much as I do - no one even acknowledged what we were doing tonight and the yard was pretty busy. Why should they bother when some other mugs will do it???? Grrr!!! Silly me, they pay for their horses to be there (as do I) why should they get their hands dirty.
Sorry, rant over. More vino being poured.
