So fed up with this wet windy weather here in N Wales, I know quite a few areas are really much worse off than here, but is this our punishment for a nice sept and october!????
This last week ive done nothing but try to dry out wet horse and rug, now ive given up, the rug can dry on her quicker than I can do it, wind is unsettling her and the others on the yard, mine jumped out of her fenced area last week and only this morning another jumped over 5ft fence and straight into her stable!! At full gallop too. She cant stay in 24/7 her legs will fill up so its in at dark out at dawn at the moment. Please please will him the allmighty turn off the taps and the fan up there in heaven and give us some calm days!!!
 
Oh, poor you. Weather has been much the same here, along the South coast.

My boy is wearing a lightweight Rambo Supreme and not a drop of rain gets through it, its fabulous and worth every penny I spent on it. I sleep at night knowing he is dry and protected. What rugs are you using at the mo?

Hang in there and before you know it Spring will be here xxx
 
i'm feeling your pain! i work for a farmer and they've lost a load of tatties in the floods. the fields are down right dangerous - i was walking down a track the other day on HRH and she was suddenly up to her hocks as the ground gave way =- v scary!!!

luckily HRH's field is on a hill so she's ok. she does live out 24/7 and is clipped - i do feel sorry for her but if i bring her in she still shoves the stable door open and legs it to the field at the first possible occasion so i assume she's happy out! lol
 
Same here in South Wales. Can't remember the last time my boys were out. Fields are like bogs.

Feel dead guilty keeping them in, but saying that, last time I turned them out for a couple of hours to stretch their legs and have a kick about, they escaped from the field and brought themselves back to the yard! Luckily I was around at the time! So now I'm thinking, well if they don't want to be down there, I'm not gonna beat myself up about keeping them in.

They seem quite happy to be in their warm, cosy stables feeding their faces on haylage.

It's the same up here. It's cold, wet and windy all day every day. The yard was flooded last week, just missed coming into my stable by the lip of our rubber matting - had we not had that her whole stable would have been flooded. School is boggy, fields are boggy and some people go through the pastures to the big fields and the gateways are so boggy it's dangerous. One slip and you've had it. I use the road way and luckily that gateway isn't too bad yet but YO has asked everyone else to do the same, to minimise damage to pasture gateways, so soon it'll probably be as bad as the other gateways. And then comes the mud fever...
 
My husband is fed up of me moaning about the weather, he keeps on telling me this is england, deal with it!! lol The bl@@dy wind and rain is relentless and is sending my horses loopy. Oh for the calm cold frosts of a good old fashioned winter!
 
I get " skin is waterproof" which is not helpful. Its the problems trying to keep my horse fit and going when the school is sodden and unusuable. I am lucky in that I can "add value from home" one day a week so am up at the yard, out by 6.50 and home to start adding value by 8.15! but rest of the week feels like a punishment....!!
