It's starting

The works on the overhead lines started this morning. Basically guys hang under the power lines on these buggys and take out the spacers, not a job I'd want to be doing especially in these winds. Of course there is nothing you can possibly do to prepare a horse for weird things wheeling overhead but Star seems very non plussed about the whole business. They did warn me when the spacers come out the lines touch together and make a noise which in the past has spooked horses and sent them running through fences. The best way I can describe this noise is like the guns in a Star Wars movie, it's a very strange metallic sound. Star was in the corner of the field asleep, so it's obviously worrying her to bits! I'm very relieved she's not stressy about it and she has plenty of room she can get away from the lines too. Now all I'd like is this wind to drop so we can do some training without her ball blowing off!
