grrr anyone elses not turned out for summer yet?

[weesophz]

especially those of you in the west? getting so fed up, longest winter ever. thats the grass only just starting to grow where i am!

jealous of everyone down south that have had theirs out for a while now

 

[Spook]

We're a' about t' here...... most of ours have wintered out and are now in cattle courts in favour of the cows going out to grass!!!!!!!! I suppose that's being married to a farmer for you!.... but we do have plenty of bedding and keep.

 

[weesophz]

my yards a farm aswell! the cows arent even out yet and half the sheep have been brought in with their lambs cos they keep bloody dying cos of the cold! nightmare!

haha that would be a sight to see! the horses heads popping out where the coos should be

 

[smokey]

mines just out, central scotland. the grass is almost non existent! if it rains much more, she will be back in. this winter has been awful, wet and wild.

 

[weesophz]

i got up this morning to see people on facebook complaining of snow! wtf!!

 

[EllieHarvey]

Mine are still in, in and out of MW rugs too! they'd been out for 2months this time last year! We're in D&G! not much grass yet though!

South West.. on the Mendips, still freezing, still not out for the summer... maybe next week!!

 

[Roasted Chestnuts]

Yep feel your pain We have about an inch of grass in the paddocks that havent been grazed properly since before Xmas

The sides of the public roads have more grass than our paddocks at the minute Hopefully the feeding they got will help them spring up

 

[weesophz]

its really starting to depress me now, our fields have actual ponds in them, WITH DUCKS!

ditto the thing about the grass on the roads BB, the grass on the roadside going up to the farm is up to my knees, but theres none in the fields, WHY?!

 

[Beau jangles]

West coast here aswell and scunnered lol ! Never had mine in this late in the year , really starting to struggle sourcing hay aswell , hurry up summer since spring never showed up

 

[Liath]

Meh! Not only have we not hit summer turnout yet, the weather has been so bad today we haven't even been able to turnout on the winter paddocks! Doesn't look like we'll be able to turnout tomorrow either

 

[brucea]

Been damned cold around here. Wind last night had sharp fingers.

 

[lauren489]

We are the same horses are still in and the fields are soaked! There has been some sun the last few days but the ground needs a good few weeks to dry up. I dont see my guys living out this year at all.

 

[weesophz]

sun here this morning, not convinced it will last thought. ever the optimist..

 

[LeneHorse]

Well Weesophz, you were right - yesterday's lovely weather did not last! Piggin' monsoon here tonight! Ours have been out at night for a couple of weeks now but tonight I wish she was tucked up cosy warm in her box
