gales - if you saw the news/forecasts, you know how strong the wind has been. not quite as bad here as scotland, but not good. Young lady age 17/18 killed by falling tree in Corbridge, apparently - it landed on her car
rain - showers - but very heavy and very horizontal when it came - happily, i only got caught once
mud? monfy came in tonight with dried mud all up his back legs, bum, on his sheath! belly and some spots on his face, even...
what i reckon he's done, he's found the one muddy bit in the field - I'm told it's up by the trees - had a good roll, got up whilst having his back legs in the mud - the rain has washed the rest of the mud off his body and I've been left to deal with the rest, that was dried on...(when not raining, it's been good drying weather if you can be sure your washing is going to stay on the line, LOL)
job only half done, then something set them off i nthe fiel (new field right next to stable yard, can be seen by horses tied up) him duly unsettled, one pull back and equitie broke - then it rained again - i gave up, gave him tea and turned out again..
he's still sound, though :-)
and the riding? was supposed to go up to previous yard to ride cob, but RI cancelled as she had to work late at her day job - TBH, in this gale, not sure i would have wanted too anyway! so that is rearranged to Thursday.
We are having storms too. Unfortunately, in parts of the country, tornados. There was a warning not far from here, but it turned out to be OK.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, my Boys have not found any mud to wallow in...so far. I'm not sure how long that's going to last. There's nothing quite like trying to clean off a muddy horse....*sigh*
