Colder weather incoming!

[southerncomfort]

BBC weather app shows temperatures dropping from next Sunday.

We're forecast sleet and snow here on the 25th and 26th!

I suppose the mild weather can't last forever and my hairy beasts will be happier that's for sure.

Drat, clipping on Thursday!

Still well above freezing even overnight here for the next 3 weeks. Colder from 23 but still no frost here
ETA no rain until showers nd sunshine on the 26th

Lowest temp showing on our forecast is 7 degrees.
You had me worried for a moment there, I clipped today.

Mine are still out overnight unrugged, they are both looking like barrels and I could do with a snap of cold weather to slim them down a bit.

Yaayyy. Can’t bear this weather fug.

Long may this weather continue! I don’t mind it being colder just not too wet as I am loving the dryness of the fields. Horses still in their summer routine making it all very easy…

At the moment it’s far too mild for us. Very strange. We are forecast 12/13c with rain next week. We really should be probably no higher than 8c during the day. I went to the shops the other day with just a sweater on and it was warm! Very nice actually but more so like a September day.

Drat, clipping on Thursday!

I’m clipping on Sunday Starting to question that decision now…

 

[Spotherisk]

I dragged the sun lounger out into the garden again today and it was blissful in the sunshine!

Temperatures here are down to 1° from the 25th but as you say still not cold enough for a proper hard frost.

I should have said that I live on a very exposed hillside on the edge of moorland! ?

See I already have mud. Lots of it. So at this point some lovely hard frosts would make me happy!

Thats the thing, it's been lovely having a mild autumn but it means my lot are hot and hairy and still on their summer diets.

Once the weather turns colder they're happier and I can relax a bit.

Thank goodness the ponies might actually loose some weight if it goes cold

Here's hoping! Fed up of this mild 'nothing' weather......mare has come back into season, am about to do my 3rd clip on the cob as sweating buckets, and both bales of haylage have heated up and ended up chucking the end of both.

The only good thing is that the grass is still growing and have plenty of on the spring paddocks already (but equally means come spring there will be too much and they will be fat knackers before the growing season really starts!!!!).

I've had to put sweet itch rugs back on after my mare self harmed in a big way at the weekend, so yes please to colder weather. I had started to wean them onto winter grazing after the last cold snap, but had to stop, much to their disgust!

 

[PinkvSantaboots]

I would rather it turned colder I can't stand this warm wet weather one of mine is lame so his not clipped but he hates the rain so has to have a sheet on, he was sweating under that over the weekend was thinking of clipping a bit off just so his comfy in a light rug.
