Well today should have started with a lesson with Lucy Thompson on Spider first thing. It was no suprise after seeing the weather forecast that this was sensibly cancelled last night.
However I still thought I might get Q to Harolds park for dressage. When they said snow I didn't really think it would be as bad as it was. Because I knew time was going to be tight today, I had washed Q's legs & tail, plaited him up & cleaned my tack yesterday, so all I'd have to do was brush & load him when I'd done Spider.
Left home at 8am & it was slightly sleeting, however by the time I'd driven the 5 mins to the yard it was properly snowing.
The snow was really coming down & settling, so I decided to lunge Spider & even with just that the snow was balling in his feet.
I then made the decision, & decided it wasn't worth driving for 50mins in that weather, to try to warm up outside even though the tests were indoors, so I put my sparkling clean & plaited pony in the field. He must be the smarted pony out today
So not the day I'd planned. My mum had originally wanted to do Easter lunch today, but I said I couldn't due to dressage, so we're doing that tomorrow. Plus there are no shops open, so I will have to do jobs around the house that I always put off due to lack of time instead!
Roll on Spring
