So who braved the wind today?

[mattilda]

It didn't feel too bad on the yard so friend and I went out for a hack. Wow was it windy, I tend to forget how sheltered my yard is!! We made it back in one piece but it was very exciting.....for the fat ginger one.

 

[marinitagsd]

Didn't chance it so clipped them instead! It wasn't only blowing a gale but heavy rain as well!!

 

[JoBo]

Nope, mine just went back out into the field, it hurt my ears just getting them in for breakfast. I’m jumping tomorrow though so was going to give Bodey cob the day off anyway.

 

[U_T2009]

Yep, on my just backed three year old. He was an angel

 

[spookypony]

Yep, hacked to a lesson, and then back. Very chilled pony. Only startled by a big gust of wind really rattling the indoor school!

 

[3Beasties]

I did, I took Charlie out for a Canter around the stubble fields and then I schooled him for 15 minutes. He was very lit up and didn't settle very well (kept calling to the others) but we made it back in one piece. I actually quite enjoyed myself

When I got back to the yard I got Pixie in to give her a groom, the poor little pony has been a bit abandoned lately

 

[Spyda]

It must have missed East Devon! It's cooler today but no wind (yet). Saw it warned on the weather forecast and did put a light weight rug on the filly last night, but so far so good for us here.

I don't pity anyone riding a fresh horse in high winds! Braver than me LOL

 

[star]

yup - went to a HT on the Kingsclere downs - nearly got blown off!

 

[ellasmith94]

Was planning on schooling but our liv. yard school has a sand surface so i decided against it much to me dissapointment!

same although our breaks don't work at the best of times so slightly more interesting but he wasn't spooky so very proud

 

[kellyeaton]

no dont like riding in the wind so i will lunge instead!

 

[The_snoopster]

I have just moved my youngster and his shettie companion to their winter field and my baby is quite excitable in new fields but was really calm. The shettie who is really quiet usually had a bucking fit dont know if it was the wind or just the excitment of nice grass for him.

 

[AmyMay]

Wasn't too bad really with me this morning - it's actually more windy now.

I'm sitting here in the house waiting to go back up to the farm to check him wondering if I should put a rug on.........

 

[kandm]

Yep, took Max out for a hack, it wasn't to bad at all

. But he did have a snort at the flapping pony eating monsters (Hay/Straw covers) on a farm we hack through. Other than that, he was the best he has been out hacking

.

 

[suzyseymour]

I took mine out and started raining sideways! It's a good job she is not bothered whatever the weather.

 

[SonnysHumanSlave]

i rode teddi (my cob) didnt fancy it on houdini (11.2hh he'd be mental in it!)

 

[BroadfordQueen]

Yep, schooled both of mine.
My 11 year old eventer schoolmistress nearly threw me off after spooking at a jump wing that had blown over, and felt like I was riding a stallion

My 4 year old was an angel, jumped a course of showjumps in trot without getting silly and didn't spook at anything!

Somethings not quite right there, lol!

 

[Katie__Connie]

Yep.. went cubbing

was v.v.v. windy but oh well... had a great morning

 

[vicky86]

Went on a hack, I rode my 5yo and my friend rode my older horse. Mine was an angel, my friend however was not so lucky he cantered across the roads, was sideways a fair amount and spooked at leaves blowing in front of him - he was a lunatic! I just presumed it would be the other way round as it is usually. They did make it home alive, luckily.

 

[MyBoyChe]

Absolutely not! My normally sane TB was behaving like an idiot on the end of the lead rope so decided discretion was called for and chickened out. Was in two minds anyway as his girth rub from earlier this week is just nicely healed so didn't want to aggravate it. I don't like hacking out when its so windy I can't hear traffic properly.

 

[TinselRider]

Didnt ride either as Lord decided the only pace he knew was backwards and ended up sitting on the leccy fencing 5 TIMES!!

So 20 mins later and he is in and I didn't have the energy to ride ban

 

[quirky]

I schooled my normally chilled 4 year old to comments of "you're brave"

.... nah says I, "just stupid"

She wasn't too bad but the haylage wrapping was making an awful racket that she kept rushing past.
I managed 20 mins before throwing in the towel

 

[HayleyandBob]

I to went to the hunter trial at kingsclere, my xc bib got blown off

and i did tie it up properly and they were still tied when dad rescued it !
My hat only stayed on because of the chin strap to

(yes it does fit correctly !, it was that windy!)

 

[katie_and_toto]

Yup

 

[kerrylou123]

nope not today! Was supposed to go SJ, but wasn't going to risk taking the trailer out, so went to watch some SJ at Solihull RC instead.

 

[NR99]

We did we had an XC session with Dickie Waygood and did not want to pass up on that, very windy but a brill session

 

[Walrus]

Yep, went cubbing,to be fair the wind didn't seem too much of a problem here although it was quite breezy. Me being sat on a pointer on the other hand (or not at one point) was the main problem today!

 

[Twizzel]

We went cubbing too, winds weren't too bad but really noticed it when we were galloping into the wind, my eyes were really watering then!

 

[muffinino]

Made the poor pony do lateral work in the school - he loves the wind and rain, though, odd creature

 

[catembi]

Yep. Tried to do some schooling. My boy doesn't care about high winds. Gave up after 10 mins as he still isn't right. (Ongoing 'issue' that vet, chiro, saddler & I are still investigating.)
