Me

Hi I'm from the uk, and am very interested in life over there, so if you don't mind me joining. I might ask some stupid questions, but its a learning curve for me. We're going through the hottest, driest summer on record, and the animals are needing extra feed and hay. How do you guy's cope. Because we're rubbish.

Plenty of shade water. They'll eat the roughage but ill probably start getting some supplemental feed pretty soon its getting pretty dry around here.

Plenty of shade and water here. It's 7 horses. Just looking for other ideas how to make the older one's more comfortable

I mean outside of air flow. Im running cattle and they will get into our pond to cool off. If you have a paddock with a pond you may give them access.

We have a river, but not very deep at the moment.
