…for you to bow out of your horsey plans.
lots of centres around me have pulled their competitions for the day as jumps/dressage boards are taking flight and they are worried about competitors travelling.
I had a clinic booked (indoor) and didn’t want to tow trailer. We’ve got gusts up to mid 50’s til later on this afternoon.
where I used to be I could head straight out onto moor, even a sideways screaming hoolie wouldn’t stop us but there was very little risk of flying debris.
My current place I won’t even go out for a quick plod due to the amount of trees I need to pass/ride under to get out. Horse is so well behaved in wind, it’s just a real danger of getting wiped out by a branch!
last time we had a “bit of wind” I travelled to pop a few jumps (that stayed in place) and it was gusty up to mid 40’s, no motorway driving and I knew the route so very little tree coverage at side of roads.
so…how windy is it for you to say no and what do you think is downright dangerous?
