The livery yard has been really busy with high demand as we go towards Autumn. We have some new horses coming to the yard. I really want to improve our fencing over the winter. We still have plenty of grass and the paddocks are in lovely condition.
On a sad note we lost a farming friend in an ‘on farm’ accident. Farming currently employs less than 1% of the working population but it is responsible for 25% of the work-place deaths. This has GOT to stop! I think if you had women keeping an eye on safety this situation would improve. I drum safety into our apprentice and helpers and woe betide anybody who doesn’t listen (including Mike). We feel so sad and our thoughts are with his family. How can anybody so vibrant and full of life have gone?
