I’ve kept ginger witch ticking over. But woody hasn’t been ridden since November. I’m riding because I have to. But not because I enjoy it. I’m struggling with the weather. The mud.

To be honest.. my fields are sooo water logged , a running hose pipe would’nt make much difference! Bet you were cross though.

I must admit …. I’m on clay soil. And my fields are horrendous. The winter ones. If I ride 2 miles down the road, Susie has fields on a slope and it’s sandy soil. There’s no mud!!

Did you say you have no off road hacking and roads are lethal, plus no school ? It sounds like it’s more of a retirement set up. Not for a young green horse.

We were on lockdown in the March. Incredibly hot and dry spring. Followed by a horrendous wet winter. All suppliers local to me were out by the February. Prices rocketed. Not as high as this winter though. However, the following summer was an incredible crop. I Has so much grass that I strip...

I know someone who has a barn, big enough to fit an aeroplane. Plus they are loaded. When they knew we were going to have a shortage, they literally bought every local suppliers hay. They were very smug to tell me that they have enough hay to last four years ! MY hay supplier, didn’t take on...

My winter field entrances are like mud stew. It’s horrendous. And WHY do they stand in that bad spot. Stand ten feet back??!! Im turning out. Doing yard duties. Getting back in after lunch. Can’t be arsed to ride as I’m exhausted after dealing with all four and then have to go to work as a...

Agree. It’s very odd

Why hose pipe his feet ?

Wonder how much she actually bought him for though. And how much was ‘left over’

Intriguing. Wonder why paused ? Unless she knows she is no longer in a position to hopefully buy him. I feel she should at least give some form of update. That’s a lot of folks hard earned cash sitting in that account. Update …. Her instagram is looking like she’s bought him ? Is that him ?

My ginger mare who is a TB/Welsh is VERY spicy and incredibly reactive to the leg. She thrives on work. Shes the most intelligent horse I’ve ever owned. I’m sure she has ADHD. Her mind goes at 100 miles per hour. She’s beautifully schooled. Jumps like a stag. Bold. Fantastic to hack. Even solo...

The GFM has really slowed down. Practically stopped at 62k. I thought she had a week max to find the money? Which must be due by now? Still awaiting promised update. All gone very quiet.

At least it’s all gone. Don’t ask my hubby either. He flatly refuses.

Love my Albion dressage slk. Absolutely hate my Albion Kontact lite monoflap (think designed by William FP) as my crutch bone is squashed up against the pommel. I’m always lifting myself up and back. It’s incredibly uncomfortable. Love my Derby House hunter saddle, which fits all. Hate my Kent...
