Are you heading away on your holidays soon (lucky you) and are going to leave someone else in charge of the zoo? Are you worried about the length of your battery life and that your friend will have to lug the battery in to be charged?
Well why not look at adding a solar panel to your set up? A fantastic way to lengthen the life of your battery. So instead of every few weeks having to cart the battery home to charge you will only be doing it approx 3 times a year(dependent on position to the sun)

Horses
So the time of year has come for the ponies to be let loose on new grass but we all have the moment of dread, just how much will they eat and how big will the waist line end up?
Many of us think oh help... Laminitis... when we see the lush grass coming through and panic and suddenly remember the plan we had meant to execute over the winter period and buy a strip grazing kit to have ready for this exact moment and sadly it got forgotten until

Fergus and Alison have made a few changes over
