Hay making is finally coming to an end after a frantic few weeks for Huw because he was taking advantage of the hot weather. One of the best things about making our own fodder, is that we know exactly what is in it (i.e. we know it is completely ragwort free) and we can use hay from different fields for different horses depending on their requirements – our hairy cobs don’t need the same rocket fuel over the winter that the broodmares do, for example.

Huw will be utterly delighted to have the last bale safely stored in the barn and I suspect he’ll be drinking a large gin to celebrate!
