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....

Will keep looking. It was an Asda one that we were looking at that seemed to fit the bill other than being made of tin foil, but I'll have a look at Argos too: ta!
