Tuesday 17th - Staff Check + contractors

Hi all

08.35am

So sorry I didnt let you know about the contractors who are replacing the external corral wall which was completely rotten. They are here today and maybe a bit of tomorrow.

There is an exclusion zone on the Nofence collars to deter the cattle from bothering the guys whilst they're working, but obviously we have one cow without collar and ponies..!

I saw all 4 boys today at 8.35, looking well and very vocal.

I will come back later to find the ponies, as I am meeting another contractor at Yateley this morning.

11.58am

Back onsite, have seen all ponies who are looking well, a few cracked and split hooves but nothing major.

I had another go at putting a battery in 283 (Jeans) collar, but although i can scratch his head neck etc whilst crouched on the ground, the moment I try to touch the collar he legs it.

When the corral is finished next week I'll shut them in there to have a final go before I admit defeat.
