Charlotte’s eventing horse, Fable, has been to Newmarket for a major operation. He is doing really well and having more visitors than the Pope. We are all keeping our fingers crossed that he will make a full recovery. They have lovely new field shelter for his convalescence.
Clear TB test (couple inconclusive which we can live with). The powers that be have decided to reduce/eliminate quarantine units such as ours. This begs the question where do the male calves go from dairy herds with TB? At a time when the dairy farmers are having such a hard time is this a good woodland on the farm move? Sorry to be political/moaning farmer but I really feel this needs to be thought through.
