Rain, rain and more rain

[Happytohack]

This is what the fields look like this morning - I think the horses will be having a nice day inside scoffing hay

. And it's still chucking it down

Just pleased I managed to go for a ride yesterday. How's everyone else doing?

Yesterday they looked like the piccie in my signature

I'm sat at work in my office listening to the wind and rain batter the window.
Only problem is i have to leave at 8am to go showjumping.
Venue has outdoor warm up so not really looking forward to it

Perhaps the lorry will fail to start

I'm feeling your pain.....

BBs and I are going to Essex for team dressage

 

[the watcher]

Took over an hour to get to work this morning - I had to keep diverting around flooded roads

 

[sunflower]

It's very wet here as well - no horses to worry about but had a phone call from our neighbours at 5 this morning to say the stream at the end of our road had flooded and water was coming down the road - cue mad panic to lift everything off the floors and I missed the end of the Grand Prix as I was shifting sandbags. Fingers crossed the water round our house has gone down a bit now but it's still raining....

I'm only traveling 5 miles. If i had your journey to do I certainly wouldn't be going

 

[Ferdinase514]

LOL Yeeesssss. Except, Twiglet is on my team and she will give a severe beating if i dont turn up

 

[pottamus]

We are pretty much the same and I have just got in from mucking out and trudging wheelbarrow through wet sodden field! My lad is out munching grass and not bothered in the slightest in his warm rug!

 

[PaddyMonty]

Even more deep joy. Just had a look on metcheck for friday. Ginger one has his first HT. Forecast is
Wind
Rain
Sleet
Snow
Temp around 2c but will feel like -3c
Sod the optimum time, just going round as fast as poss then get home

Its chucking it down here and has been all night. That is exactly what my fields look like, and my garden! The horses are in their nice cosy stables with some hay, i would feel mean if i put them out right now, they would just stand by the gate and sulk lol!!!

 

[appyjude]

Ditto here, in Glos, tipping it down - 3 of mine are out with field shelter....do they use it......do they heck!! They much prefer standing at the gate asking to come in when there is No room for them to come in hence the field shelter..........thinking of starting up a mud spa ......... or perhaps competition to the grass ski slope - mud slide......

 

[Thistle]

Like that here too.

TF you are really serious about Friday are you? Yuk we are at Gt Witch.

 

[Partoow]

Yes all my teaching is going down the tubes, i wont be able to eat this week at this rate!!! Horses will be fine its me that goes without........
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO frustrating, most of the time i am pretty good and do get my 6 or so ridden but at this point in the year its just toooooo much to take.
....... goes off crying and stamping feet.............[dont even have any mini eggs to make me feel better

[jacksmum]

Yuk really horrible here

Radway cancelled so at least we don't have to compete today

 

[jesterfaerie]

So far it is just looking misrible and windy today, we had thick fog and lots of rain yesterday and I was stood in it for 2 hours

hopefully it won't be as nasty today but I am sure it will be.

 

[Sunny_Star]

This is the perfect weather for a hunter trial...
Supposed to be going to one today, maybe the rain will put off some people and I might have a chance of being placed

Yay- the rain just stopped here anyway

 

[Happytohack]

It's raining even harder here now (East Anglia). I have a couple of friends taking part in a 50 mile endurance ride in Thetford Forest today

Rather them than me

 

[pinktiger]

hasnt stopped raining here (bristol) for about 36 hours, rivers up to full/max level.... padks looking more like swimming pools than tunout with horses stood on little islands in the middle!! have the compeling desire to build a large boat or emigrate!!!! or both!!!!! have awful memories of last years very wet event season and have a real fear for the same this year!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Apalacia01]

Its chucking it down in SE London too - and pony is out 24hrs. Oops. Did put her nice Rambo on with neck cover, so hopefully she is ok. No riding today, rode yesterday evening just as it was getting gross. Think meant to cheer up next week but get cold again (after I have sent HW to be washed and proofed. Oops!)

I am emigrating!

 

[Emma123]

Finally stopped raining here in Bristol (well technically North Somerset) so I hope it stays dry for a while!

 

[Maesfen]

We had heavy rain from 4pm til 7am but is dry but overcast now; field looks a bit bloated but mine are just about to go out and play splash; I'm sure they all think they're mermaids!

 

[fredthoroughbred]

Slightly un-nerving but it's absolutely beautiful up in the Highlands again!! Something tells me we are in for another crappy summer!! If we have nice springs we always have terrible summers

I will have to make the most of this yay

 

[Bozzy]

Still horrid here in West Berks, roads were awful driving to work this morning and I've left Forrest in.

I was going to enter a few classes in the Showing show at the yard today but decided against it!!

 

[Keltic]

I was supposed to be going to a show!! Hmm woke up to hear wind howling and rain lashing against window, so i stayed in bed!!!

 

[Abbeygale]

I'm quite a long way down in cornwall and not that I want to make you guys feel bad - as I think you must be getting the weather we have had over this whole last week, but its actually quite nice here today. I managed to ride both of the older horses and do some ground work with the 3yo yesterday. It rained last night, and then this morning we had a bit of drizzle, but its cleared up again and its fairly pleasant outside!
Unfortunately because of the torrents of rain over the last week the fields we are currently using have turned to bog. I have one last field left to use - but that one has to last them until the hay is cut - and is at the bottom of a big field - so no way are they going out there to turn that into a bog to!!

However, they are all quite contented stuffing their faces and giving me more work to do in their stables!
