Is it just up here in the Lake District where it's rained constantly for about the last three weeks? Honestly if it puts down much more water the horses are going to need flippers! I know it's called the Lake District for a reason, but right now I really really want to move down South! It's actually rained most of summer as well.
We've gone from 24hr turnout about 3 weeks ago to either none, or an hour here and there while mucking out. Tonight it was so heavy on the way back from the yard, that I had to stop the car because I couldn't see the road for the river flowing down it. Even the school which very very rarely floods has a lake at one end of it.
The fords which we normally hack through are raging torrents, and my TB who normally wants to go out in the field at any opportunity is taking one look outside at the moment and almost reversing back into her stable.
Please someone tell me it's going to stop sometime soon!!
