an active afternoon..
and between snow showers, M got ridden out by G (who's afternoon it was!). We were surprised it became possible, but the snow wasn't the wet sort, just the small dry sort, if you know what i mean..
in the meantime, I was moving stuff from what was my end of the storage area to what was G's end, she having put her notice in...it's flat! so i won't be tripping over all the time...
not that there's a lot in there, the important, use all the time stuff is not in there and won't be until the roof is sorted, which apparently will be April time...
and then M has to move back out of what was G's stable back into his own ...

bit of a grin on my face
as for the first time for a long time i was able to mount wihtout having several tours of the mounting block first.
i was too late in the day to even think of going anywhere but the arena but we did 20 minutes in there including some trot.
he was pretty responsive, despite my squeaking boots (every time i clean them i ended up squeaking with every leg aid, and I find it very disconcerting even if he's not bothered).
he also had a new bit in, a neue shule, and seemed to like it, certainly went well in it, better, IMHO, than in the myler....

a quiet week on the horse front
after last weekend; GAynor did some schooling and a ride out on Sunday (with an unexpected gallop thrown in!) and i cleaned all the tack thinking we'd be able to start some work this week...
monday = gales
tuesday = gales
and then i started a streaming cold....
and now it's forecast for snow....heavy snow, they say...

to cold and sunny
and i actually rode!
not for long - i need to do something to loosen my hips off!¬ and my left knee is, i think, going the same way as yours did Jean....but considering the bad time we've had for the last few weeks (wasn't even worth thinking about riding most of the time) i was pleased.
hopefully, the weather will hold steadyish and dryish for a bit so we can start getting some work into the boy again... G wondered if I thought he'd lost muscle over his back and when she asked me i thought not, but thinking about it, he's bound to have and i need to look closer (I was looking at the mud, actually, not the shape of his withers..)

9 - 5
someone posted today on facebook about it being glorious whilst she was at work, raining when she wanted to ride, she gave up and fed and then it sorted out..
isn't that always the way?
it was raining buckets at our yard as well... #
when we get some settled sensible weather - neither drowned, nor frozen, nor blown away - we might do something with the boy, but in the meantime, he's happy with his current routine of not having to work, LOL!
