Wed 7th July 2021 - Bodster Equine, Godshill. GG # 842.

 Terry's Photographs.










Terry's Nature Corner.


We are not sure what this is....any suggestions?

One of the five young kestrels that had recently fledged.


A rabbit that should be keeping a good look out for the parents
of the one above...!


A couple of photos from Bob the Blog.


Showing the area we were hoping to de-ragwort and the glorious view.







One of the several dump spots around the area we covered.

This week we were back at the Bodster Equine Centre on the outskirts of Godshill. Over the years we have had several visits here, doing all sorts of tasks, but this time it was to try and control the ragwort that was growing across their horse paddocks. We know that ragwort and horses is not a good mix but if you would like a more detailed explanation, then click this link  https://www.bhs.org.uk/advice-and-information/horse-health-and-sickness/the-dangers-of-ragwort
There really isn't a whole lot you can say about pulling ragwort (that I haven't said MANY times before!) but the photographs above give a good indication of what is involved - namely a lot of backbreaking work😅. The sky was rather overcast but the session remained dry and was well attended.

For those of you who might be interested in what they do there, try this link   https://eaqbodster.co.uk/

Still lots of uncertainty about our future program but Mark assures us that we will hear, by email, when things finally are confirmed.

Many thanks to Terry for his photographs this week.
