Due to the constant wet my bunch are only out a few hours each day. Now having to keep Pitstop shut in as the soles of his feet are falling to bits. So soft and when cleaning his fronts out last night it looked as if the sole was coming away from the wall. I have done them with Stockholm tar but think the only answer is not to let him out into the paddock. I also wormed them all last week as its impossible to pick up the droppings. Toto had very soft droppings which are now back to normal. Feeding hay or haylage 3 times a day which is costing a fortune. Price has gone through the roof. This sickens me that people try to make money out of others who are doing their best to get through this horrible weather.
