För en gångs skull hann jag även med att mocka lite i hagen och bara plocka lite med allt möjligt. Calinka har dessutom fått jobba med Maria under fredagen och Sandra under lördag och idag.
Tidigare i veckan vägde jag hästarna med viktbandet och de börjar alla vara ungefär där jag vill ha dem i vikt.
Om jag minns rätt:
Pepper: 460 kg (Några kilo till skulle inte skada när han någon gång börjar jobbas ordentligt)
Percy: 470 kg (Hon vägde ca 420 när hon kom… men hon ser inte tjock ut så det är ok.)
Bunny: 435 kg (Lite mer hopas jag hon går upp, men hon har redan ökat bra sedan fölningen då jag tyckte hon var väl tunn).
Calinka: 415 (Hon är äntligen gått ner till vad jag tycker är lagom)
Tea: 70 kg
Nu är ju viktband kanske inte helt tillförlitliga, men de ger mig ett hum om hur hästarna ändrar i vikt.
Fence and bath

Tea got a blanket as well. |
My dad and husband enjoyed themself by trying to get the electrical fence working this Sunday. From hardly being any current it is now 6,5kV in the upper thread. Some more small adjustments and we might get the lower threads to work as well… I just have to remember not to touch the fence now. While they worked I tried to be calm and brushed the horses. All have started to be bitten by insects – and worst is Bunny and Calinka. That might be because they are the dirtiest? Bunny hasn’t been totally clean since she arrived and Calinka sweats often when being worked. So I showered and shampooed both of them. Bunny was the first one. I
realized when I turned on the water that she might never have been
showered before., but she behaved well even if it was cold water. The
cold water is the reason why I don’t shower them often and only when
warm enough outside. Even Tea got some water on her – not because I
planned it but because things close by also tends to get wet (including
me as well). When both had gotten rugs to dry and warm up Calinka was
next. She turned out to be worse than Bunny so shower – even if she has
done that many times and got used to it while young. Well, she got
cleaned, a warm blanket and some arnica at her sensitive parts. To clean
her in cold water isn’t perfect, but if it helps against insects so she
can stay out of rugs a little longer it might be worth it.

After cleaning. |
For once I also got time to fix a lot of small things. Nice! Calinka has been worked by Maria during Firday and Sandra at Saturday and today.
Earlier last week I measured the horses with the weight tape. They starts to get where I want them to be.
If I remember correctly:
Pepper: 460 kg (A couple of more kilos wouldn't be wrong when he get more fit.)
Percy: 470 kg (She weighted about 420 when she arrived but she doesn't look fat so its ok.)
Bunny: 435 kg (I hope she gains some more, but she has already gained some since giving birth when she was a little to thin in my opinion.)
Calinka: 415 (She has finally lost some weight, which is positive).
Tea: 70 kg
