We had a lovely walk round Joe's Pond at Rainton Meadows
I've never seen a white duck before!
and this was the only open water to be seen - we think because there's a sluice gate between the two ponds at this point...
and this was amusing!
Monfy had a day in the arena, with haynet and waterbucket of course - not sure how impressed he was with that! brought him in about 3, huge amounts of hay and big feed.
how to prevent soaked sugarbeet freezing - wrap it in a thick stable rug, works a treat. Not too sure about the feed bins RIGHT outside the stable door, think i should re-organise again (they were in an old stable that 2 of us were using as a store, but it was converted back into a stable midweek...)
hopefully, we'll be able to try again during the week introducing him into the herd, in the meantime, YO is happy enough that he can be in the arena.
and partner came down to meet Monfy and had proper camera with her..
he moved, though, LOL
Oooh, ooh, I have some duck pictures too. May post them tomorrow...
ReplyDeleteMonfy moved...that's the kind of picture I often get. Horse goes into beautiful pose. Focus camera. Click shutter...horse moves.
Glad Monfy is getting out. Now all you need are the right conditions to get him out with the herd. He will be quite happy with that, I should think. *S*
