I spent last night worrying about how I was going to manage to feed everyone their breakfast in their new field.  Turned out, everything worked out just fine.

All the Icelandic horses and Shetland ponies were weighed today. Most have lost weight which is what I wanted to achieve for the fatties.

To town to see the optician.  Now referred to hospital for emergency appointment.  A bit of a shitty day then.

I need a seeing-eye pony, I think?

Playing flute duets on a Saturday afternoon, while watching for my wee dug not running away.  Trust.  That's it. Trust.

Feeding the old horses and ponies is not dissimilar to a rugby match.

I think they look fatter. And they are meant to be on a strict diet.

Shetland ponies, this is.

A whole morning building another track extension for the Shetland ponies' summer grazing. I think they are happy. I , however, am now exhausted.

The Shetland ponies are still living off barely nothing and they are doing well. I am pleased with them.
