Busy day over now. Thanks to extra hands, and today there were five of us at the Equine Market Watch Sanctuaries (UK) yard, we got done in record time. It has been dry and mild all day which also helped and oh how nice to be able to wear yard boots and not wellies.
I and Amy got to Leominster by 10-30am in plenty of time to walk round the auction holding pens, get a catalogue and a quick drink. As always Brightwells Horse auctions rarely give any concerns ( and when they do those are dealt with courteously and quickly) and this time was no exception. Not many horses and ponies on sale but it is early in the year and the weather is never dependable. There were some lovely horses for auction but prices were not great with some lovely Tb yearling fillies fetching under £100 each. Even thebig quality horses didn't fetch much bidding. I hope things pick up in the coming weeks and months.
We left the auction to get back to the office for around 1pm as we have another auction tomorrow where we expect prices to be abyssmal ( Brecon)
This evening we got the yard work and feeding done in good time and it was nice to get some pictures of the pony herd on the gallop round for their evening haylage although Willow, Chadd and Larry opted to stay on the big meadow so ended up getting 'waitress service' their haylage!
Grateful thanks today go to @Caz Thorne, Astrid, @Pete Andrews and @Amy Tasker-Andrews. I shall miss Amy next week as she is back at Uni.
I forgott o mention yesterday that it was lovely to see old horses EMW Flynn and Fella looking splendid in the care of one of our lovely fosterers @Alison Woodyatt. Our foster carers are vital to this charity, allowing us to say yes to horses who otherwise would have a very uncertain future indeed.
