Today was what might be our last opportunity to roll the fields for a while...so we were allowed to break local Devon tradition (where no farm machinery moves on a Sunday) and get the little tractor in action before the rain comes tomorrow. The weather has been fine for 5 days now so things have dried up a lot. There's still quite a few impassable stretches so we walked the field before hand to mark out the "dangerous" boggy sections with electric fence posts to try to lower the chances of getting stuck in the mud. We moved the boundary fence so we could gain access with the little tractor, which the ponies were very happy about because they could reach some stretches of grass that they haven't had access to in quite a while!
The tractor got stuck on just the last section, signalling that we had reached the limit of what was possible to do! With Charlie's help we were able to free ourselves without having to be rescued by a bigger tractor!!
Thank you to Margaret and Charlie for helping us to get all our chores done today!
