A Holiday For Ravistree

Ravistree came to us on Monday for his holiday. He was on good form and we turned him out pretty much straightaway with his companion for the summer Aldaado. Both horses settled together and I even saw them lying down the following morning. It will be a good break for Ravistree and I am sure that it will do him good. Chris came over to watch him being turned out for the first time and although I was quite relieved that he didn't ricochet off the fences, it was a bit of anti-climax when he just put his head down to graze.
We have had a few more additions to the team - 6 pygmy goat kids which Amy and Kate had great delight in naming; there is going to be a children's competition on the Open Day to see if anyone can successfully come up with the correct name for each goat. I have also picked up a couple of Belwar orphan lambs, Gavin and Smithy which were transferred over to me in the A&E car park in Swindon as the half way point. That must be a first for the hospital!
