Update from "Team Heffa" - Lots of Snow, & Pictures!

[chester1234]

Well it's been rather snowy in Lincolnshire, so much so they've cancelled my driving test - twice.
Obviously this has totally put a hold on any lessons / hunting / schooling / hacking and I'm getting thoroughly fed up with it

I decided today that as our white stuff is pretty fluffy and loose [I've named it Jordan

] that the most sane and sensible of all of them could have a saddle and bridle on and go for a play. Which is wonderful, except the sane and sensible one is also the least dextrous so I could quite easily have gone ar*e over t*t into the snow [he's pitched me on good going, but that's less cold than a pile of the white stuff.] So, boots on, tack on, teeter across the road, and into the field. Looked at me like I had a screw loose [I probably do, but sh, no-one's meant to know!].

Anyway, in short I had a lovely time playing with the Heffa in the snow

and have some lovely pictures aswell

I put all my sponsors gear on as thought we could get some nice pictures for them in the snow - thought a snowy scene and Equi-N-icE was a good mix really!

There's also a picture of the T-Monster looking all woolly for his fans

I know he's not the classiest or nicest looking of horses, but he's got a heart of gold and I love him. He tries so hard to please and gets really upset when he can't do something - teaching him leg yield was a nightmare, we had so many arguments!

Sorry for picture overload

Hopefully will get everyone in the festive mood!

Lovely pics. Snowed here last night and then instantly froze so everything is one big sheet of ice, couldn't even risk getting the horses out of the stables as yard is one big ice rink

Off topic sorry but what make is your bridle? I like very much

Molly - it's a Kieffer plain cavesson bridle, will have to check exactly which ones, it's one of the ones they sent me through the sponsorship. I love them because it's god a padded headpiece with the noseband over the top so there's even pressure, and the throatlash has a buckle each side so you can get it level and the bridle has the same number of buckles each side!

Thankyou everyone

How do you stop the snow balling up in his feet when you ride?

We have tons of snow but I'm too worried to ride in it.

I picked them out, then used Kevin Bacon's Hoof Dressing http://www.kevinbacons.com/mf_hden.htm on the inside, or stockholm tar. The Hoof Dressing works best imo. Brought him in and there was nothing in his feet at all.
