I'm never good in a heatwave, and particularly not now, as have got a persistent summer "bug" complete with cough and runny nose.
Have just seemed to have lost my riding mojo! Went out on Sunday morning (with a friend on my other horse) which was easy enough as even though I was hacking and hawking, because my two horses were both out together, they were nice & chilled and even though there were a few pesky flies, it was basically an armchair ride.
Now, I'm looking at them both in the field. Its hot here, baking hot, and no wind to help. And I know that as soon as I bung a saddle over their backs and get out down the road, out will come the bleddi flies and the poor things'll be driven crazy!
Plus the fact I feel like a piece of chewed string.......
Anyone else struggling with the heat? Lost your mojo? All your enthusiasm got up and gone?
We've all been waiting for the "nice weather"; well now it IS summer, tis a real struggle!
Oh dear, a moaning post really!
