Never seen my land so bad!!!!! Having to feed my horses hay on the field, Grass just not growing and what is there is just burnt off. Big cracks in ground and ground rock hard!!
Wish it would rain !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
 
birmingham here and had some decent rain over last few days - we really needed it too as the grass was burnt and crunchy - have had to bring my boy in during the day for some hay, then back out at night.
 
Same here in south shrops/welsh borders, and what grass that is left is going brown. At this rate we will be struggling for winter grazing.....

I have been feeding hay for weeks and I do have grass, tons of the damn stuff - it is just that it is on my garden and my mower is broken :mad: can't graze horses on it - logistical nightmare.
 
Our fields are terrible, i won't jump on them, i may as well jump in the yard! We've had some good downpours but the ground is dry within the hour. We'll be moaning about winter soon too :D:D
 
I'm in Gloucestershire and we need rain too. Loads of it. The grass has either disappeared or gone a lovely shade of brown, and the fields we're using for silage for the cattle aren't growing like they should be. So those with rain, could you send some over here please?? :D
 
please please take some of ours away!!! its rained almost constant for the last 2 weeks, ive 2 inches of water sat ontop of the grass in the field and its all turning to mud!!! we had 55 ml of rain last weekend and are forcast another 60 in the next few days :( i seriously hope the forcast changes as im so so sick of getting soaked :(
 
We've had 4 days of proper warm sunshine since May here, and rain mostly 2 days out of every 3. Its been pouring all night and all day today and at the weekend there was flooding. My horse has to wade through a large pond to get into his field and has developed mild mud fever and rain scald as a result. He's been pretty much rugged all summer and is currently out in a 200g full neck rug to keep him warm, as according to the weather forecast, temperatures will struggle to get into double figures for the next few days.

East Scotland.
 
I'm wet to the knickers and I had a long waterproof coat on! Rain is pouring down and is set to do so for another 5 days at least!! I'd really rather that you did have it!!

Also east Scotland but I think a little further south than you mithras. I'm just south of Edinburgh. Summer has been ok but enough rain to keep lots of grass which is good for me!!
 
You can have our rain, I am in Cumbria/Scottish Borders area.
We have had on and off rain all summer, no real spell of a few weeks of nice weather :(
Take the rain!!! Just take it!!!! :D
 
We need rain too! Was spitting earlier but stopped now. We were forecast it from this morning through until tomorrow afternoon, so we'll see! Why is it when you want it, it never comes and when you don't we get loads?!!!
