Any 1 else rode their horse today, in this weather!!!

[Gucci_b]

I did in the school, and got very very wet. horse seemed happy thow.... better than being stuck in the stable.

 

[bex1984]

ugh I think I have got to ride later and am not really looking forward to it

am just hoping it might not stop raining by 5pm but it is not looking likely...

 

[fairhill]

Nope! Mine got 10 minutes turned out on the lane whilst I did her jobs, and she might get lunged later if it dries off... otherwise I'm going to be a mean mum and leave her in. Our school was nearly underwater this morning, so I dread to think how wet it's going to be this evening.

You're either very keen, or very mad

 

[Darkly_Dreaming_Dex]

Me and OH hacked out this morning and it was only just starting to rain when we got back

 

[spottybotty]

I hacked out this morning, horse and i were kitted out head to toe in waterproof`s!

 

[Gucci_b]

thought i should ride her, as when at shows, it's not always dry!!

wanted to see how she handled things, and she was chilled by the wind & rain.

 

[Weezy]

I hacked out - we were VERY lucky. I mucked out then friend and I said *sod it* and got tacked up....rain stopped.....went out for 40 mins and stayed dry! As soon as we walked back into the tack room the heavens opened, so I feel very virtuous and nice and dry!

 

[carthorse]

Mine have been bathed after coming in filthy and have gone to Lincoln to do BRC champs tomorrow. They will be exercised there but in bandages to try to keep them clean as they can't be bathed there.
Poor things

 

[Chumsmum]

I'm hoping to get a quick hack in later if it's not belting it down - supposed to be hacking my boy 5 times a week on vet's orders - not much chance in this weather

 

[Halfpass]

I lunged. It was only drizzling when I went out but by the time I went to change rain it was hammering down. I was so wet by that point that I thought I may aswell carry on.
On the way back hom I popped in the bank. I was so wet and dripping that the paying in books got soaked when I went to fill them in. I also left a puddle on the floor

 

[RachelB]

*snigger* My friend had to ride the Luso stallion this morning, she came in after literally two minutes because he got into the school and refused to move! Fair-weather horse!

I've also taken one hacking, luckily it only showered lightly whilst we were out. I'm supposed to be riding my horse this afternoon for the first time in 18 months... she's out naked... towels at the ready because she darned well needs the exercise!

 

[jumpthemoon]

I've not ridden yet - will ride later. Hmmmm I think I'll ride in the INDOOR school today....

....Although I won't be

ing when I move horsey back home and we only have an outdoor again

 

[xnaughtybutnicex]

Is it cheating that i have been riding in the indoor school for most of the last 3 weeks?

 

[AutumnRose]

I am hugely envious of anyone with an indoor....will be riding in the peeing rain later....

 

[bushbaby28]

just about to go... fingers crossed it'll stay dry

 

[burtondog]

lunged between showers but have to ride tomorrow and it's not looking much better.

 

[Ebenezer_Scrooge]

I hacked out with me and horse head to toe in waterproofs and hi-viz. It was only raining lightly on our wayout then it got really heavy but we had some lovely canters. I then cycled home over 3 miles yet again in the rain......

 

[Hels_Bels]

yup i rode 3 this mornin in the pouring rain!

 

[alwaysbroke]

Sent the kids out to ride went home had a cup of tea..........kids came home soaked! havent spoken to me much for the rest of the day, really dont know why...........

 

[Bosworth]

yes decided sod it I was already soaked from mucking out and feeding all the liveries so decided I might as well take my horse in the school and canter through the water. Schooled well for about an hour - both of us soaked through. OH has just this minute gone out covered in waterproofs to school his horse.

 

[xxcharlottexx]

My horse was due to have a day of today any way so left him turned out to get washed away in the field... poor neddy

(were lucky we have all year TO and the field is on a very large hill so drains fairly well!)

 

[Native Speaker]

Took my lad out for about an hour and a half this morning - up hill and down dale, trotting most of the way, as he's moved yards again and it's all new scenery for him at the moment. He loves new surroundings - goes everywhere with his head on a swivel.....

Should say he was driven today, rather than ridden. Anyway, the sun shone for us all the way round, but I do believe Sunday will be rubbish weather here for us, much the same as most have you have had today. So, I've resigned myself to a day's tack and harness cleaning-joy of joys! Gotta be done, though.....

 

[merlinsquest]

Nope..... Merlin does not like the rain and tries to turn his bum into the wind every four yards

So got him in and changed his rug from a rainsheet to a rainsheet with a 100g liner and then put him out again

Hope it stops soon
