poxy weather!!

[L&M]

Anyone else seen their lovely bone dry fields, with new green shoots, turn back into mud baths in the last 24 hrs? I know we needed the rain but give us a break!
I managed to get every paddock rolled and harrowed over the last few weeks, to see all that work undone, with one field looking like the horses have had a re run of the gold cup in it this afternoon...

Green shoots? Pah! Rolling, harrowing, you jest! Bit damp here at the mo.

The horses are still confined to their winter sacrifice paddocks, and will be for some time yet.

I cried when it rained yesterday!! After weeks of boggy fields and a lake in my sand school I was ecstatic when everything dried out. Grrrrr!!

I did not mind the bit of rain as it has filled up a couple of my rainwater water butts so I have a rest from carting huge water containers to the field every day twice a day! Plus it is nice and soft underfoot for my lad, who I am hoping to keep sound now following laminitis.

For a change, no! It's been lovely up here and is a beautiful day today. The field is dare I say it, perfect under foot to ride on. I bet the rain from you will be up our way soon!
