Close your eyes...

and dream of spring!

I had this view in my head as I paddled around in the mud tending to the animals today!

It WILL look like this again one day. All this mud will soon be a distant memory - console yourselves with that!

 

[Beausmate]

And it's getting lighter in the evenings now!

 

[Brightbay]

Ah, now I'd be looking at that and thinking "OmG I have left it too late to set up the strip grazing! Where's my fly masks?"

I'd be happy with a nice sharp frost and some blue sky, to be honest

 

[Littlelegs]

What is the green stuff in the pic? I'm sure I've seen it before but it feels like a long time ago!

Noooooo! far too much grass - somethign else to worry about

 

[Mrs B]

Yup!

Soon we'll be complaining about flies, the heat, too much grass, head shaking, hard going, sweet-itch, mood swings (us, and horses), what fly rug, fly mask or fly spray? has he reacted to something he's eaten?, is the water trough ok with the green stuff in it... are buttercups ok? Is ragwort dangerous? What wormer should I use?...
And muzzles... which one? (I vote for Dinky's btw)

After 40+ years with horses, it's always the same and yet.... we still do it.


Mad. Utterly barking. All of us. And thank God for that!

Merry Christmas!

I don't recognise that. It's been raining here since last winter might see if I can part exchange Deano for a dolphin

Ooo - a dolphin - I like that idea!

 

[Shantara]

Can it really go from this...

(He looks weird! Very disproportionate and miserable!)


to this again?

 

[WelshD]

Yes it will I promise

Probably just as well you didn't buy Rupert - he'd be up to his knees in mud!

You call that bad mud? You can still see hooves and is that a white sock that I spy? Such things disappeared a long timeago here.

I was just about to say the same thing , the mud we have here is horrendous, the worst it has ever been

Ah, that's not the muddy bit, and I had just washed his legs in the ford
When he came in, he had mud up to his knees and all over his belly!
