William and Toby looked smart after a groom, the boys were proud to wear their Poppies in their halters. Picked out their feet, William has seedy toe so one hoof picker is used for him and one for Toby and they are both washed afterwards; spending more time on concrete and less time on the grass in the paddock will help. Picked the last of the Bramleys and pruned a few of the lower branches for the donkeys to eat, it’ll make picking the apples easier next year. A warm day with light winds and a few hours of sunshine.
Well done William and Toby, remembering your donkey ancestors who toiled in the fields and kept the home fires burning during World War One when so many horses were serving on the front line.
Indeed, I hope they like listening to the last post at 1100! Could be a bit messy if not…. 🐴🐑😺
