Woody has been a lot better today, eating all her food for the first time in days. Hopefully she has got over the worst of the virus, although she did get a lot better a week or so back and then deteriated again. The first we knew she was unwell was when we found her laying flat out in one of the paddocks, the other three horses she was with were chomping away on the hay. For sure Woody was unwell for she is never last in the queue when it come to eating. I must admit she seemed so unwell we thought that she may not get better at all. With a lot of looking after and a bit of luck she is now over the worse.
Some of you may have seen the tractor on camera 2 hedge trimming. The trimming can be done in the autumn or late winter just before spring, we always try to do it this time of year. I reckon it paid off this year, the mild winter has caused the hedges to have a little none stop growth all through the winter. The main reason it is done this time is so as not to disturb the birds nesting. Don’t reckon they would be too impressed having the trimmer causing them have to make a new nest.
