Never had bad experiences when it was stormy other than the one time the new uninhabited stable roof flew off as it wasn't bolted down properly, but my god yesterday was eventful! Stayed at my friends house and woke up at 8am to hear clip clopping past the front window which was odd as the horses were usually out the back...peeked out the window and 6 of the 9 horses were standing on the road peering back at us. Next thing I know I'm out with my friend in gale force winds and torrential rain in our jammies sprinting up the road trying to herd them back into the yard (see trying to catch a mini shetland who doesn't want to be caught...):eek: Turns out the wind blew down the main gate, a barn door open then the yards gate open and the horses decided they wanted to go on an adventure. Then spent the day fixing/changing rugs that had been trashed, doors being bolted back on and making new stables up, to say I'm tired is an understatement, all this happening with my horse tucked up in her stable in the barn at the yard oblivious to the outside conditions:D
 
Everything flooded last night for us and it even got half way in the stables it was so bad ... So all bedding out and this was my stable afterwards!

Horse doesn't seem too bothered by the whole thing and the flooding I going down, and I hear we get a couple of days reprieve!
 
Sounds fun, NOT! Bad luck! I live on top of a mountain so flooding is not a problem here, however its extremely windy today and been blowing blizzards :( Had to cancel moving one of my horses here today and collecting a new one which sucks as am all ready for them! Have to go out in a minute to tie stuff down or I'll find my wheelie bin a few miles down the road...
 
Torrential rain in your jammies Flurryjuno you must have been frozen ! one day you will look back and laugh . we had electric lines down by our horses fireengine and road taped off all horses ok though .
