Issues with the horse aside, the caption is also clearly AI generated which is flipping annoying too

This feels like a charade at this stage, as both my ridden horses are complete swamp monsters at the moment. We haven’t had a day without rain since the start of the year, winter really is wintering… 🫠 Biggest achievement last week was getting the arena groomed, followed promptly by days of...

My vet recommended science supplements ProKalm when my horse was hand walking for a ddft injury, in the end we didn’t need it because he was quite sensible, but thought I’d mention it!

One thing we had as well was that we’d had flu & tets done by two different practices so they asked for full medical history from both. It didn’t cause a problem btw, but just something to be mindful of if you’ve ever done that!

V little to report here 🤣 I did manage to get the arena groomed though, so I’m taking that as a win! The horses are in mega daft form atm, and OH is away with work for a couple of days, so I may park my riding ambitions until he’s back 😅 arena looks nice, at least 🤣

How is it February already?? Congrats all, we’ve made it through January 🎉 I am not writing my plans down in my app, yet, just in case it all goes to pot BUT the weather is looking a tad kinder this week, so I am thinking… Tuesday: ground work with 1 or both lads - want to groom the arena as...

Weather is gross, but vet was out today and poked, prodded, flexed and scanned the big fella and is happy all looks normal - so that’s a relief. Most likely culprit is a twinge that coincided with farrier visit - he’s been either in due to weather or out in small hardstanding so he’s had a...

More weather warnings here, so I don’t think a whole lot will be going on! Big Unit has the vet tomorrow, interested to see what she thinks - keep your fingers crossed for us. Farrier was a bit concerned about right hind, hopefully a tweak that can be easily sorted. Just about to head out to...

I’m hoping he’s just strained it slightly in the field and it just needs a bit of TLC. I’m sort of reassuring myself that at least we are way better equipped now to deal with rehab/rest etc if needed, but hopefully that’s not going to be necessary, forewarned is forearmed and all that 🤦🏻‍♀️

The weather is absolutely stinking isn’t it! Had farrier last night, he felt that Big Unit was a bit uncomfortable on right hind - fetlock is slightly swollen too 🤦🏻‍♀️ he seems happy enough on it but he has history so will tread carefully and probably get it scanned / xrayed. Consoling...

Having recently had to buy a fair bit of concrete, it would blow your mind, especially if buying in small batches 🫣

Well we are well and truly in a slump here 🤣 between rubbish weather and lots of yard related DIY, I have done shamefully little 🫣 Anyone doing anything nice this week?!

Happy Monday folks - how the heck are we almost halfway through January? My boys seem to have accidentally had a very easy couple of weeks - between rubbish weather (either freezing cold or chucking it down) and DIY work in the stables, they’ve essentially had two weeks of loafing about. No...

Happy new year folks! Anyone have any exciting plans for this coming week? We are under a layer of snow & frost so nothing planned currently… will see when it lifts and go from there! We have got nice new lights in our stables though so that’s an exciting start to the year 😁

My horses haven’t been too stupid today, but one of the dogs ate an extension lead cable today, must be something in the air 🤦🏻‍♀️
