Mending fly rugs

Luckily notperhaps as well given I'm not very handy with needle and thread
Haha I actually quite like mending but at this stage it's getting ridiculous - the mares are grooming one another a tad too hard I think
Thankfully Jess isn't a rug wrecker, and the little boys don't wear them as a rule. I spent many hours fixing bo's rugs so know how it feels, I don't miss it
It's the first year it's happened I'm blaming the other ladies over vigorous grooming technique
Well I was given a fly sheet at the weekend. I put it on in the morning one day this week. When I went to get the boys in that evening it had a large rip down the bottom. So didn't even last a day. Fortunately it had a couple of snags anyway which was why it was given to me but even so. Our animals are so ungrateful.
So I now have two fly sheets awaiting repair. Oh and a rain sheet from the winter. One day I shall go mad and repair them all. I have to be in the mood to get the needle and thread out.

My excuse for not liking needle and thread is that about five years ago I developed an awful septic infection in my finger after accidentally stabbing the end of it with the blunt end of the needle I had no idea at the time that even though initially painful as a sharp stab - just how awful it was going to turn out

I got groomed by mine today. I reminded myself its meant to be nice but they are a bit rough!It's the first year it's happened I'm blaming the other ladies over vigorous grooming technique
She must think my grooming of her very feeble!
Both Madam's (new this season) fly rugs are much mended at this stage - as we've had rain most days for the last 2 weeks she hasn't needed them luckily.
I'm going to invest in an Aussie one next year I think - very disappointed with the Amigo ones
