Jess is a tiny bit pottery, not her normal unsoundness, just a tiny bit on turns which I know is grass related. 30 minutes a day for 4 days on the new field (in addition to being on the old field overnight) has tipped her over the edge she’s eaten through another muzzle, so I had ordered another but the old one wasn’t as restrictive as it could be.
I’m hoping it’s just a perfect storm and a few days off grass will reset her, but I’ve just opened my last 4ft round bale of hay and there’s no more to be had from my current supplier until the new cut comes.
My plan to get her out on the new field at night with Monkey isn’t going to happen even with a new muzzle. So I think I’m going to have to stop trying to recover the last bit of the new field and create a starvation paddock for her, or just go back to keeping her on the track all summer.
