Monday 3rd - staff check

I had bought some proper garlic lick holders so thought i'd install 4 in the corral.  It took quite a while in the heat 🥵 with pony onlookers.. opened the gate to let the ponies in and within a minute Flam had ripped one of the holders off that I'd screwed tovthe sode of the corral! It clearly wasn't a good enough job!

Hoopy is the only civilised pony amongst the lot is my conclusion after watching them for 10 minutes! She is happy to just lick a mineral lick, whereas the others bite at them, try to pick them up and run off with them, and try and break the holders!! So my plan hasn't really worked very well and I will have to take the licks off site again.  Still a lot of flies about and Hoopy affected more than the others but all their eyes do look ok.  Carnage in the pony lick area too after the weekend - all their empties were strewn across the site - hooligans! Water supply tooped up today too.
