A few days later we were passing the field and noticed that Oscar had again gone through the electric fence and was in the area at the back of the field that was not really horse safe – it has deep holes and ruts which could trip a horse or worse. Another family trip to move the blessed electric fence! We then decided that a proper fence was required and so we are paying a local farmer to come and put in some posts so we can make the field Oscar proof.
The weather has been so very wet that the field actually is too muddy to leave them in all the time – they don’t seem to want to go in the shelter even in the worst of the weather. Angela was due to go on a week’s holiday and it was decision time because if we left them in the field whilst she was away there was no way I could move both of them on my own
