I hate having flies in my eyes and so do the horses... The separation anxiety is hard to listen to (Arwen & Sahara do that whenever they're left behind...) but when they're still together with another horse and call out for a third one, it's way cooler and kind of fun to listen to. Unless you're sleeping outside on the veranda (20 meters away) and it's 4 am in the morning - and you intend to be fit for fight at work the next day... :-) @Victoria: I love the fly masks too, they’re both pretty and VERY useful!

It always makes me sad when horses call to each other, but I have to remind myself that usually they're just talking- like "Hey, where did you go? When will you be back?" - even though it sounds so urgent and stressed out. Those fly masks make the horses look so exotic - like princesses.

The trick however is for them to have unlimited access to hay, which they do. I buy the cheaper version ("cow hay" instead of "horse hay") and as you can see from the looks of the horses, it works really well! It is common here is Zinder too to give the horses millet, but sorghum (which is cheaper) works better for me as the horses chew it before swallowing and therefor digests it better.
