All "Rewed Up" And Ready To Go...


Roger and his son Jonathon have been brilliant at helping us out - as promised, they have turned the hay for us and it is now "rewed up" (collected together in rows) ready for baling.  The baler is arriving late tomorrow afternoon.  All these rows will be transformed into our "pensioner sized bales" which are slighter smaller than the usual bales, making them much easier to handle.

We are very grateful to Roger.  Our volunteer Gill made a lovely cake that we have given to Roger from all the "pony people" to say thank you for rescuing us!

"Thank you" cake complete with tractor and hay turner!
Because it is so hot, we can leave the hay out in the field tomorrow evening, and then on Thursday a small army of p4p volunteers will arrive to help move the bales to the barn and get them stacked.  Then our mission will be accomplished!

The ponies don't seem to mind the heat.  Hazel-Ann gave Bobby his bath today and this was a photo of him this afternoon looking very shiny.  He's finally decided that it is now hot enough for him to lose the last of his winter coat!
