Its been quiet because we are starting to get a grip on things, finally we are being able to use and enjoy the land in fully functioning areas. This is mainly down to creating a horse free zone for the winter months and getting the front gates on making the perimeter secure and allowing us the luxury of swinging gates rather than fighting with gates held up with string.
We have also dissected the two acre rectangle from the winter meadow grazing enabling us to have a horse free zone with small pony corral (shown in green), further fencing/hedge laying will go in over the winter to make smaller turnout paddocks.
Instead of grafting we have been busy with family commitments; looking after Woody's poorly father (after a successful stem cell/bone marrow transplant). We are also in the process of buying a house closer to the land and we did manage a brief day out to London, a rare non-horsey day off to watch American Football at Wembley. We have generally taken our foot of the gas with land tasks to refocus on life stuff.
Oh...er...oops...we also re-homed another horse, Frank (Donttellmother), who has just finished his racing career, he's come to us to have some fun hunting and possibly some riding club stuff next year, he is a poppet, but I still managed to fall off him him within 24hrs of picking him up...ooops!
