When I went up to feed Penny and Percy last night, I found Percy halfway through the eletric fence. He had one leg and his head on one side and the rest of his body on the other. This rather alarmed me, the eletric has been off for nearly a week and both Kim and I have asked several times for the battery to be changed. I rang Bev immediately and asked about the battery, she assured me that there would be a new one in the morning.

I am pleased to say that Percy was still in his field this morning when I went to feed them. Penny has sunburn on her muzzle to she is having sudocreme on it. I' dlike to put sun lotion on, but while it's a bit sore I want to stick with the healing creme.

The horses have been out for almost a week now and they look set to be out for the next couple of weeks all being well. They seem happy enough and are all doing well. I'm not sure that Percy doesn't look a bit lame, but it's very difficult to tell. He will need to see the farrier again soon though as his feet are getting long and one of the back ones is splitting a bit. Penny's feet are fine at the mo, they were both only done a few weeks ago.

Penny is still on the same amount of hard feed, it will start to drop off towards mid September. Percy is eating about 300g of suregrow a day, but he'd not over keen. He much prefers his mothers mix, so once the suregrow has run out I think I'll move him on to foal mix until he's a yearling, then back to mare and youngstock mix.
