the year of the horse

is getting off to a slow start.

poor gaynor is poorly with a very bad cold, so yesterday, which was her day, ended up a washout - time i knew that she wasn't fit enough to ride (i'd already done morning turnout) it was pouring... and it poured, and poured, and poured.....

today, of course, back to work after the holiday, and it was raining again when i left the office. it continued raining whilst i got the mud off the boy, and fed him.. then stopped....

but, it is starting to be noticeably lighter in the morning, so that's a positive!
