Horses in for the winter

Percy wormed 08/11/07
Farrier on 14/11/07
Castration 19/11/07

The horses came in today, it was so cold this morning, they were freezing. It was nice to see them cosy in their stables. There was quite a lot of neighing initially but they'll get used to it soon enough. One of the women at the stables was peed because her horse was upset by the neighing and was concerned that she wouldn't be able to ride it tomorrow. Not sure we've got any influence on that....

Percy was good to lead in. He reared twice but nothing major. He is very strong however and took all my strength to lead him. Hopefully he'll get over being so keen! All in all, quite successful. Kim the star is meeting me at the stables at 0530 tomorrow morning so that we can turn them out. I owe her big time.

I think Percy will be a plum for the farrier. He's taken to kneeling down when I pick his feet up. Interesting..

Ice on the windscreen tonight and this morning. Brrr! Winter is on it's way!
