Frozen School

Havent been able to use mine or the one at work for a few days now, all frozen solid

Have just been hacking everything on the main roads (gritted) or putting them on the walker. Its getting silly though now as certain horses really need schooling, taking a few to a loacl indoor tomorrow as really need to give them a jump. Wouldnt ride on a frozen school though, and certainly wouldnt lunge
 
I've had the excuse of not being able to ride in the evenings for the last fortnight because the school is frozen. It's been bliss

I've occasionally lunged the pony when it's frozen because I know she'll just walk but wouldn't dare to lunge the horse in there

Our indoor school is fine, and the outdoors is Softride so it doesn't freeze - I am very happy about this. The biggest challenge is currently to slide the horse across the icey tarmac to get to the school... but I am Swedish so this -10 stuff is NOTHING to me!

mine only froze as of yesterday so not to bad - they have been able to walk around the track on ones that needed it but no riding in the evening for me !!
 
my school has been frozen sloid for the last week plus so my horse is enjoying an out of the blue break
it getting a bit silly now tho she is getting wel freash without the work hehehe
 
ours at the yard is frozen, parts are more frozen than others. I walk & do a bit of trot atm, just doing lots of turns etc. I wouldn't lunge on it though.
 
I rode on ours tonight and it was more crunchy than frozen! I only walked tho, was the perfect excuse to concentrate on our walk work and we practised leg yielding, turn on the forehand, halt transitions and general softness! Got bored and cold after about 20 mins tho!!
I wouldnt lunge on it either
 
any idea on how to get the frost off... does raking it over help at all? Once the frost is off ours the rubber is fine but the sand is frozen and think its compacted down quite a bit... wondering if theres any way to save it so we can ride?
