All of you with snow...this is what grass looks like! **pics**

[Patches]

Where's our snow? I'm gutted. Our grazing is fine!

 

[JoBo]

Please take ours, I’m bored with it now!!!! I haven’t ridden for over a week!

 

[Abbeygale]

ours is as well - it was a bit crunchy under foot first thing this morning, but had softened entirely by about 9am ish.

Not a sign of snow anywhere to be seen here!

 

[JamesEarwaker]

Looks like you have got better grazing than most of us, all grass has got snow all over it, all snow has frozen over and over again these past couple of nights.

 

[Hels_Bels]

Im jealous we already have a good 4 inches and it's just started snowing again!

 

[saddlesore]

I want your grass! I'm sick of the snow, haven't ridden 5yo since Friday and goodness knows when I'll get a chance so he'll probably be a nutcase

 

[dwi]

I'm amazed you haven't got any. We've had snow for days now and the ground is frozen solid. Doing no good at all for D's fitness campaign.

Hellloooo Grass!!

When are you coming back?

 

[Patches]

Don't get me wrong, there is a heavy frost in the mornings and the ground is hard in the rutted areas. The bulk of the field, given it's size and grass cover, is fine though. Nice and springy under foot.

I have ice on the yard, so it's not completely a winter free zone.

I am hankering for proper snow though. We have no cloud cover so the grass soon greens up when the sun rises.

 

[Sharonr]

Oooo that grass looks good!!

My poor horses haven't had proper grass for about 2 weeks!! It's either frosted or at the moment, under 2 inches of snow!!

My poor guys totally sick of haylage now and knackered with the cold. -7 outside at the mo and not looking like we are gonna get grass for at least another week!!

 

[Tankey]

My field looks just like yours, under a foot of snow

 

[LittleSoph]

I'm jealous! I'm so sick of the snow! The school is hard enough to snap ankles and the fields are still completely covered. Freddie hasn't been ridden or turned out since last Wednesday! I'm NOT looking forward to getting back on!

 

[Patches]

Of course, I spoke too soon as it's just started snowing lightly here

YAY! Snow.

We don't suffer too much with frost as there is plenty of grass cover to keep the frost away from cooling the ground too much below it.

They'll be moving to a new field for Christmas Day as they've eaten alot off this, having been there six weeks now.

I'll have to take a pic of my grass tomorrow. We havent had much snow but the ground is frozen and rutted so I put Tia in the longer section of her paddock that I was hoping to save till Jan. She looked so happy and didnt know where to start munching first! Tonight its been raining/sleeting so i'm hoping the ground is going to soften... and arena!

You have the best grass i've seen in a long time, even before the snow!

We have over half a foot now, no signs of going. I'm bored of it now, i want to ride again!!! Our snow is still mega fluffy though, at least it's not frozen yet.

Ponies have been turfed out with a bale of lovely rich haylage and some nice thick rugs (poncy arabs) and are happy enough.

 

[Puppy]

Hurrumph! I want grass instead of snow

This is my field atm:

 

[spotty_pony]

You can have our snow if you like! When it all melts, the fields are going to be soaking!
