Winter on the Farm

It is chill out time for our horses in the winter. They enjoy a well earned break with plenty of hay, lazy days and some good old Irish mud! They grow heavy winter coats that keep them nice and cosy and some hipster beards and mustaches for a stylish effect!

During the winter we move them around the farm and feed them bales of haylage we have produced ourselves. There is always great excitement when we come to move them to a new field, all it takes is the rattle of the gate handle and you have their full attention.

Once one of them moves, they all come galloping behind and you can feel the hooves thumping the ground under your feet. You cant help but smile at their playfulness and enthusiasm as they bound past to the next pasture and snort excitedly at the prospect of a new bale of haylage and some winter grass.
