Yard and stables flooded *with photos*

[moon_drop]

Well our yard has stood up well to all this rain but last night it just couldn't take any more water, having had thunder and lighting all day. it was raining that hard you couldn't stand in !
It was ok at lunchtime when I went to give willie his lunch but by tea time maddies stable (with maddie in it) was under about 5 cm of water and the whole yard was under about 1 1/2 foot of water. The farm road was like a river, sandy stable was under water at the front.

Yard

Tractor just safe from water the shed is about 2 ft heigher than yard.

Then as we were standing trying to work out what to do this happend

We had to move maddie in to sandy stable and make a make shift stable for sandy in front of the cattle court.

The only one of us that thought this was funny was

he was high and dry

Its gone down to day and is dry so we've put them out hopefully for the night where thier'll be safe.

Aw your pony is gorgeous and I am smitten

So sorry to hear about your flooding

I hope it soon dries out again x luckily we live on a hill and where the yard is seems to be ok too as yard owner and family seem very good at taking steps to avoid any flooding.
