I've found something positive about the minus temperatures

[s4sugar]

After all the moaning threads this morning I have one positive note -
My boots are clean so I can leave them on to get in the house to make a coffee.


Any more positives?





( & I agree with a lot of the moans)

I won't get my hands muddy when I pick my Horses hooves out later

 

[Swirlymurphy]

I don't notice the hole in my right boot which leaks - my socks stay dry!

 

[picolenicole]

I can walk across the field instead of sinking into it

 

[BentleyBelly]

My mud is frozen so its easy to push the wheel barrow into the field and my fatty is happy because he can have a bit of hay in the field whereas normally he has to watch his skinny field mate stuff his face on the other side of the fence.

 

[Feathered]

Yes! Coblets feathers are lovely and dry and clean I'll be taking advantage of this to pig oil him up to his eyeballs!

 

[Gracie21]

I can wear my fluffy uggs to put the horses out because everywhere is so frozen that it's not muddy

haha thats what I do too

 

[stargirl88]

I thought this too while walking the dog he isn't actually muddy - bonus!


Was bluddy beautiful outside this morning!

 

[Irishbabygirl]

I didn't bother to put a plastic bag over my foot first before putting on my Dubarry's with a hole in the bottom this morning (although later regretted it when breaking the ice on the trough with my foot!), and clean horses! Yay!

me in uggs on ice = me flat on arse on ice


Very impressed!

 

[DressageDiva1962]

Its not raining, the sun is shining !! too icy to ride BUT poo picking is so much easier and there is no mud and the carrots stay fresher for longer )

 

[pixie]

Its easier to poo-pick the field as the poo comes up in a big frozen lump

Pony's hooves are much cleaner. (Though I can't say the same for the rest of him. Why did I buy a grey? He now looks coloured with brown stockings )

Pony had a good hoon about in the cold this morning and my husband said that he looked "majestic and like a stallion" - not bad for a hairy fatty who spends most of the time with his nouth glued to the grass

Very impressed!

Lol! I found that out too. they are like ice skates, although presently wearing them to feed in morning, as not really any ice yet.

 

[NikkiF]

agree about poo picking, much easier! Also finally got rid of tiny bit of mud fever.

 

[MerrySherryRider]

Frozen mud= easy hoof picking.
Beautiful frozen trees and winter landscapes and Sambucca in my coffee.

I could have posted this! I love walking the dog so much more in this weather - no faffing around with towels when I get home. And yes -this morning was stunning

 

[PandorasJar]

Sambucca in my coffee.

Not sure about that one! Coffee beans in my sambuca, but I can't bring myself to do the other way round

 

[Brightbay]

Horse is sparklingly clean at all times - absolute minimum maintenance required

This is the weather I've been hoping for (since about June ). Sadly, I don't think it's due to last, back to "normal" by the end of the week.

Yes, I like coffee beans in mine too, but try it the other way around. It certainly warms my cockles.
(But then I quite like vodka in tea, so maybe my taste buds are a bit skewed.)

Oooh I've been walking my dogs in my uggs and wishing that I could get an Ugg body suit.....that would be perfect

 

[Clippy]

Our fields have been so wet we've had to keep our horses in so it's such a treat to chuck them all out in the field and get all the jobs done so that they can go straight into lovely clean stables.

They start congregating closer to home around 3.30pm so we start wheeling them in then. No skipping out and night nets, it's all got ready in the mornings

 

[Hippona]

Nice clean legs and hooves

Give me a chance to pig oil them before the mud returns.....

 

[LaurenBay]

Frozen mud= easy hoof picking.

Snap!

Also Sambucca in a curry! (don't knock it til yah tried it )

 

[JCWHITE]

NO FLIES

AT ALL!!!!

Thats hell of a bonus, believe me!!

 

[rachi20x]

Damn I should have done that! I looked at my boy's hooves thinking how clean they looked; should have used that opportunity

 

[PingPongPony]

the sugar beet stays fresh, no flies about, no muddy water in my muckers that have a small hole in them that i still haven't found! i can actualy walk normally rather than sinking and jumping about trying not to get sucked in by mud. poo picking a lot easier, even mucking out is easier, horse weirdly becomes cleaner in her stable in winter in temperatures under 0, think it might be cuz she stands there eating her hay for as long as possible and then doesn't really want to go out that much so doesnt box walk

oo sounds good. Tequila in my chicken and Morgan Spiced in my coffee

No one looks at you weirdly wearing massive walking boots every where (the only shoes I own that don't hurt my feet ... much)
