Mine are all in today and that includes the ones that live out 24/7. Ground can’t take much more rain. As for the 3 that are ridden, one is sadly lame : vet out tomorrow. He’s older so is great to hack with our other 2 silly 6 year olds as we don’t have an arena plus the Range Rover has been at...

From you original post, it sounds like you’ve already arranged a vetting 😀

No pics but husband and I rode out on Christmas morning 🤶 🎅

Windy in the midlands. The two that are stabled at night have gone out as usual this morning .The three that live out have been sheltering behind the hedges at the bottom of the field but have now come up to the shelter, so I’m guessing the wind is dying down a bit although it doesn’t feel like...

Do you then have to clear the straw away in spring for the grass to grow back or does it all rot down?

As with previous post, anyone can get demotivated in the winter. Did you feel the same in the summer, I guess not because you are posting now not then? Horses are hard work and expensive, you need to be getting some excitement or satisfaction out of it otherwise what’s the point however I...

So glad you called her out. I was shocked watching her test and her horses frame and tension. It made me think so much is made of how ‘hot’ some of these dressage horses are but perhaps it’s not the breeding but the stress of what they are made to do it and the way they have to do it that causes...

I’ve got Rambos and Amigos. OH says Rambos are over engineered re. Chest fastenings etc. but I think they are great. I love horse wear rugs

That’s defo a plan!!!😂I bought a youngster and am working on hubby to get another as my other horses are much older and I’m having to pay for youngstock livery

I think this is fantastic, already planning an outfit to complement my horse. Didn’t realise RC are doing this too. Well done to whoever instigated it.

I have a 5 horse 4 stables situation. Luckily one of my stables is a mahoosive Victorian foaling box so two go in together in the worst weather, like last night ! How hard can you push OH? Doesn’t sound like he’s totally against another hirse, I mean he’s basically said fix the wonky building...

Personally, I prefer to learn it. I get in a zone concentrating on what im doing and how the horse is going and the one time I had a caller, it was really distracting

More rain. Thats done for my fields now. Standing water and boggy everywhere else. Of course the horses like to stand in the bog and eat grass rather than go to the shelter that has mud mats and hay!

Looks like it’s going to rain all week. My ground will be sodden, can’t believe it can get any wetter. Clay soil is a nightmare

It’s a huge red flag. Walk away
