We've been very lucky to have extra help at the yard the last few days with Margaret, Archie and Peter all coming to lend a hand to help things run as smoothly as possible and ensure Munchie gets lots of TLC. Munchie's had abscesses in all 4 feet - which we have been treating successfully. It was lovely to see him stomping all around the yard today - he thinks he now feels well enough to go out in the field with the others but it's a bit premature for that...we'll get there though! All the ponies are very good at taking turns to come and visit him during the day and share his hay-net. Munchie's done lots of self selection the last few days...and hoof soaking and applications...and it's just astonishing how effective the essential oils are and how amazingly quickly they are able to kill off infection. Munchie's hoof boots have also arrived so hopefully he's going to be out and about on walks very soon! Despite the abscesses it's amazing how much progress he's made in a week and he's been a super patient. Removing all the toxins should help him to feel a lot better all round!
The last couple of days we've been distributing pea gravel too so the yard looks very smart! 3 renovated areas - super for Munchie and all the ponies - Archie helped move a tonne yesterday...and with Peter's help we moved another tonne today! We are going to be very fit for Christmas!!
We had a brief visit to see Babe this morning and she is doing so well - Frances is doing a fantastic job and no lines in Babe's feet despite the move and change to 24 hour grazing - great job Frances :0)!
