Getting fed up now

[MrsElle]

I had planned to go out for the first ride on Chad since I got him on 23 December.

However, it snowed again overnight and then froze and the yard is like an ice rink and the ground rutted and hard so no riding today.

I came home and loolked at the weather forecast and we are expected to have snow every night this coming week and sub zero temps, so don't think I will be riding anytime soon.

Not fair *stamps feet tantrum stylee*

Same here, I managed to ride on the 31st and NYD but since then we have had yet more snow and ice and it is expected all this week with temperatures barely reaching above freezing

I cannot stand this any more!

I got Ron on the 12th of December and STILL haven't been able to ride either! I've only managed to 'walk' him out!

 

[jesterfaerie]

It is bad enough not being able to ride mine who I have owned for a while it must be much worse for you Ashleigh_ not being able to ride your new horse

I can symapthise, daughters 2 arrived 7 weeks ago and she's managed to ride them about 5 times each but only down the road and back, and once (Saturday) in the field she managed a little canter, otherwise just too icy or wet or snowy!

It’s so frustrating, isn’t it? I was meant to be going SJ-ing today bit obviously that didn’t happen. I say ROLL ON SPRING!

I've just heard on the news this cold weather is here for another 10 to 14 days

Hasn't been too bad since xmas eve here and have managed to get out generally - however, bad weather is supposed to be back this week so am contemplating letting him down for a month... Also need to move yards in the next couple of weeks so am praying roads aren't too bad

But just keep it in your minds that we are half way through winter!

I'm thinking of giving D a week's holiday. All this snatching bits of exercise here and there is just too stressful. Might just accept that it's not going to happen.

On the plus side, the evenings are getting lighter!

I'm supposed to be moving yards on thursday so it better stay clear!

 

[mudmonkey17]

Agree with you all here, it is so frustrating. Moved to a new yard nearer to home at the end of November and the school is now frozen and hardly geting out on roads because of snow and ice. My old yard had rubber chip school that didn't freeze, am missing that already x

Im always checking forecasts, (they are all diffrent) and as said above, freezing temps for the next 2 weeks with more snow and plenty of ice expected!!
