Just to tease you all not only have we had no snow but I went out to a dressage comp where, wait for it..., it was sunny :O

 

[OldNag]

Nope :-(

Its just wet where I am in Hampshire, but I managed to get on and do some walking/ trotting schooling in the field. I've got to ride at the weekends as its the only time I get. I'm praying we don't get snow though.

We've got an indoor school but having been in there every evening after work this week I had wanted to give the horse's a change of scene and a chill out session. Maybe tomorrow?...

Given floodlights and an arena with decent drainage I could now. No chance earlier - snowing, wet slushy, windy.

Edinburgh bit icy n really windy but ok enough to go a 7 mile dander.thought my feet were gonna break of when I dismounted. This weather makes a massive change we normally get any snow that's about:~)

Too snowy to ride on roads and too wet to ride in fields but I got him across the road to a friends arena to have a play with his friends and a lunge this afternoon. Trying to work him twice a day as for the first time ever I am having to keep in during the day, our fields are under a foot of water (and snow on top!). It's tiring, but two play sessions a day helps to keep him sane and me safe!

Yes went out hacking as normal, takes a lot to stop me going or riding
Hiv Viz and waterproofs and knee boots and away we go

I am not a fair weather rider I ride what ever, UNLESS too icy on the roads

We had snow here in south east all morning yesterday which thankfully has near enough gone today so managed to go for a road hack this morning, but didn't go out for long as it is bitterly cold here can't remember the last time I go that cold riding

No the lane to the yard is snowy and icey so can't even get to the main roads which are ok. Plus it's so cold and windy and still snowing. So sat in with a cup of coffee watching tv instead!
