Useful to know.
I was noodling on Amazon and I found a book called "Managing Horses on Small Properties": sounded good. All about how to manage the grass, and so on. Very useful. Thought I'd splash out and get a copy.
Today, it arrived. In between the chapters on avoiding soil erosion and conserving water, there were helpful tips about considering using a small python, in place of the usual terrier or cat, for rodent control, and about the best ways to modify your fences to encourage wild kangaroos to cross-graze with your horses.
I suspect it's incredibly useful, if you have a 15 acre property in Australia....
Without wishing to jinx anything, we seem to have a buyer for the flat. The offer includes white goods, which is both moderately inconvenient (another thing to buy / try to correctly time delivery of) and fab (yay, new stuff!).
Today, I took GB out in the woods. He had sore feet, poor little thing. He had a trim on Monday (which is why I took Jonny out on Tuesday), but they're still bothering him on the stony bits (had a lovely gallop ont he grass, mind, so not too painful). I suspect it's because he'd gone week longer than usual to keep him in sync with Jonny. Hope he'll be ok tomorrow. Hope he'll get used to it. Hope I don't end up having to put shoes on him for the sake of the one hack a week that's pretty much all he'd want / be able to do....
