Halford Flood Meadow Diary

October 2025

20 Oct 2025

Dry(ish) and Dramatic.

Putting horses on the meadow for aftermath grazing is always a challenge. Getting the electric fence installed and water infield is just the start! We tend to borrow horses from other places as there is too much grass for our two. They come on holiday to the meadow, they are a mixed bunch, all very smart; some naughtier than others, but they are on holiday, and sometimes get a bit over excited! Daily checks on the fencing are needed and at times repairs are made - sometimes I wonder what goes on in there at night! But everyone goes back a little bit fatter and with different experiences under their belts, a bit like a human holiday in reality!
