Projects, dogs, 'n' mares

We have been taking it easy the last few days after last weekend's workout building fence. We only have the gates to finish and are waiting for some custom built hinges- I'll show you all pictures when we have the finished product. The last two days, the new waterer was installed and I put electric wire around the top rail of Beamer's new pen today.
Reba and Tess are in heat right now, so are kept confined. They are kept in this stall while I am at the barnyard, and under close supervision at home. Don't want any puppies! Maybe next year, girls.
The mares and Peppy were moved to another paddock 4 days ago, belly deep in grass and lovin' it. I only let them in for a couple of hours at a time for the first few days, but tonight they get to stay. Peppy is changing colour more and more every day and his black points are really starting to show. He is going to be a striking looking horse when he's all growed up! The horse flies have been making them crazy, so I've been using Muskol (for humans) on them. It works really well and is more affordable than the Absorbine fly spray that the local feed store carries. What do you use?

kdw, we can't get that fly spray around here. I find that most of the ones for horses that are available here are not too effective for horseflies, but Muskol is!
