OMG! Great for any horses who have a hissy fit about water though! They wouldn't have much of a choice there! Awful weather here in Cheshire today. Not stopped persisting it down all day. Is meant to be 18 degrees tomorrow though. Yippee!!

That's all well and good but have you seen the forecast for Tues?!!

Blimey!

It has rained all day in Brum too but our yard is on a slight hill so all the water runs off the yard thankfully. Fields very boggy though

Fortunately the weather here in Central Scotland has been much less severe than many of you down South! It rained most days last week, but it has been very much on and off. Today has been quite windy but dry which is the main thing! Hope the weather starts to pick up for everyone else

We are on the verge of being 'cut off' - our town, not the stables, which are, considering holding up well.
Took this video this afternoon, still raining now, and I don't think it will be much longer before the water is going OVER the bridge!

Love this rain because I am hoping for a bumper hay crop later on so the price doesn't go up next year
Wishfully thinking this will happen

I guess there is always a positive to a negative!!

 

[Kellys Heroes]

Oh my God, you lot have had it bad!! and I thought we had it bad here today!!
We had horrendous wind and driving rain all day, horses didn't get out - we can't risk Kelly having an injury and poor Pebbles would have been traumatised at getting her ears wet!
It's just kicking up again now after an hour of quiet.
When will it stop!!!!

Ha - you may think- but from one welshie owner to another my 3yr old sec D is a total coward when it comes to puddles. Putting him forward for the hop, skip and jump 2012. Considering he came from the welsh hillside I'd of thought water would be second nature. I have taken this opportunity to puddle train him in our flooded yard.

blimey where in the country are you?

The yard is in Bitton, situated between Bristol and Bath. Unfortunately our fields sit on the river avon flood plain so we've been flooded before although there was no flood warning this time. I popped back down about 3 this morning, high tide was about 1.30 and thankfully it had dropped an inch or two, the problem no is we have all this sitting water, both local rivers have burst their banks and more rain is forecast
