I went over to yard first to muck out hand walk and be a therapy queen :@) got to yard and feed room in disorder my bran all over the floor and large rat like holes in bags. So spent twenty minutes sweeping up so wasn't running to schedule when Tony arrived.
Tony (gawd love him) spent ages banging two insulators onto each glass fibre stake. Goodness this fending is expensive but is well engineered.
Started off with an on site project planning meeting :@) stakes went in easily the tensioner caused much head scratching but when worked out again was a well engineered solution.
We were one tensioner short not quite sure why only sent one for a two tape strand fence, will need to sort on Monday.
Fudged the gate then started running electric cable from Pony Palace to energiser, earth stake was somewhat over engineered and looked more suitable for a five mile run of fencing not a few metres:@)
Extension lead and energiser have placed in Fred's red 'treasure chest' that I have been meaning to empty since Fred arrived at Duttons over seven years ago :*) .
So there it is the pony pen is up logically it should contain him as he's never been one for getting out and the normal field fencing is one strand electric rope and that has always been sufficient.This is two stands 40mm wide tape mains electric.
Had a very late lunch then started on afternoon stables.
Tony skipped out whilst I walked the Chorrie pony. There was a loose calf which caused airs above the ground (!) he leaps up all four feel off the ground then kicks out with his back legs(!)
Left yard at 17:45 and it was still light so lovely how the nights are letting out.
Home to a very welcome cup of tea and later a glass of Baileys :@)
