Drought

The summer of 2026 was hot and dry. The meadows suffered from the lack of rain, but the many trees always gave our animals shady places to rest. Fresh springs and small streams also provided welcome refreshment in some pastures.

The summer of 2026 was hot and dry. The lack of rain was clearly visible in the meadows and required particularly close monitoring of both the pastures and the herd.

Many trees gave the horses shaded places to rest. Fresh springs and small streams supplied water and welcome relief in some pastures. Photos and videos from this period can be found in the accompanying album.
