Activites to do with the horses in wet and horrid weather?

[lialls]

Me and a friend took our horses XC schooling last weekend and we want to do something with them this weekend, problem is: there are no local shows. I think it mite be too wet to go XC schooling again. And it possibly not very nice to go for a ride on the hill in this weather either.

Sooo do any of you have any suggestion of activites we could do??

Thanks.x

Learn how to give your horse a massage and spend some quality time in the stable with him/her and do some bonding!!

Use the time to trim feathers, tidy up manes/tails, give them a good grooming. Put some nice conditioner in the tail and make it lovely and silky.

Clean out your grooming kit, wash brushes etc.
Clean tack.

Go and poo pick the field.
Go home, watch a good film on the telly.

Paint your stable in some funky fresh colours

Chase-me-charlie in the indoor school, free style dressage to your favorite choice of music...if your lucky enough to have a indoor school that is.

Pull your horses mane/tail...if you go for the short and tidy look that is!

Go shopping and treat yourself and your horse to some new gear.

Table top tack sale at your yard...get everyone to clear out their tack rooms and have a swop shop or sell your unwanted items..?

run out of ideas now

Go to the beach. It'll be quiet & you'll get wet anyway!

Yesterday evening's activities consisted of scratches in the stable and the three of us (two ponies in a big stable!) all looking out at the rain, wondering where the summer went to!
