A Joke gone hayWIRE!

Hi Folks!

I thought I'd post a quick note about the progress we've made towards weening the foals. Nyx and Gwen are now 6 months old and the mamas are tired of feeding them. Unfortunately, Stella is the only one willing to kick the baby off so Blanche has taken to feeding both babies. We could hardly keep the weight on her, so we've decided its time to help.

Help? You might ask?

Yeah, the idea was to install an electric fence so we could separate the mamas and the babies long enough for the milk to dry up. We got the wire installed on Sunday last and I can personally vouch for its effectiveness! I think Cheri wanted me to back into the fence on purpose. That'll teach me to joke about having horse for dinner!

Anyway, the babies are well on their way to being weened, and they're hating every minute if it . . .
