Rain after drought, what happens to your horse's grass

A new team member!
18 October 2015
Hi everybody, Spirit and I are excited to announce our new team member, Dylan the rescued Springer Spaniel who will be accompanying us to many of our demonstrations!
This is not a normal blog in this way as it will contain pictures of him as well as the latest news on Spirit so bear with us!
Spirit and I have big plans for next spring now that we have our new horse trailer Oscar which our wonderful sponsors from Simple System Horse Feeds have helped to provide we are thinking about doing a much more local tour across Somerset and Wiltshire area's next spring. Spirit is continuing to look and feel fabulous as usual although I must admit I'm not enjoying the run-up to autumn and winter!
In an effort to help Spirit get ready for the less pleasant weather and build up her coat I have started feeding her Simple System Instant Linseed.
Here is a picture of the new team together!
Otherwise I think that's all for now, all the best, Charlie.
