You know it's Autumn when......a bit of light relief

[cyearsley]

You send your clipper blades off to be sharpened.....
You get all your nice clean rugs out....
Mother nature helps top your troughs up.....
You think about ordering your winter bedding........
The fleecy tops have come out the drawer..........
You can start to think about cross country again !!

 

[MICHAELA8228]

You have to dust off your dandy brush!!

 

[dobbin27]

You find the hole in your wellies (but its been there all Summer!!)

 

[karenjj]

You dig out your head torch..
You remember the zip on your coat got chewed by the shetland!

 

[CBFan]

you actually have mud to pick out of your neds hooves!

your ned actually WANTS to come in from the field!

you have to turn lights on at the yard or in the car...

 

[kerilli]

you can't find your woolly hat anywhere...

 

[chickeninabun]

You have to buy another pair of gloves... again, because they are like gold dust at our house!!

 

[Alibear]

You have to drive like a mad woman (ovbioulsy obeying all the rules of the road) to the yard to hack out after work and you drive home again in the dark

 

[littlespritz]

you realise how unfit you are when you unload 30 odd bales of hay...

 

[Gooby]

you discover your coat is no longer waterproof as you've had to wash it so many times!

 

[beutifulwobble]

you actually have to turn the heating on a little bit as you have a cold dewdrop on your nose in the morning ( the sort you get when camping)

[spookypony]

...the EXTREMELY LARGE spiders start moving into your house.

 

[Spudlet]

You innocently leave the house without your coat one morning and instantly do an about-turn and get it!

You realise that the waterproofs that have been in the car boot all summer were never actually in the car boot - you put them away somewhere safe

 

[Hutchie]

You start to see steam coming off the neddies poos in the field heheehehe! (sorry to lower to tone)

 

[PoppyG]

When rats chew a whole in your feed bin!

 

[debsflo]

you realise you forgot to get your rugs cleaned....... the horses are keen to come in its a race to ride before its dark you get covered in horse hair every time you go near them

 

[Jericho]

when you can stick your cold hands into a toasty warm horses rug to warm them up!

I have been ferreting around in the loft trying to find the Rambo Duo that I'm sure I put there after being cleaned lol. Other than that the babies all need new rugs

 

[pinktiger]

>>one of your summer jobs (you forgot/put off) was to clean/mend winter rugs!!!

 

[MrsMozartletoe]

You realise you wear the disgusting beanie type hat more times in the year than the nice horsey peaked cap.

And you wonder for the umpteenth time where the leather hat (the waterproof one) went

 

[Janesomerset]

...little drifts of leaves begin to appear at the side of the road, they rustle gently in the breeze...THEY ARE FULL OF HORSE-EATING SNAKES! Strangely, the leaves in the field are snake-free.

 

[NeilM]

When you realise the Swifts and Martins are no longer whizzing about the fields and sitting on the power cables.

 

[3Beasties]

Your hands start to turn blue if you are not wearing gloves.

 

[Sugarplum Furry]

It's suddenly less than 100 days to Christmas, the local supermarket (Morrisons in my case) have 3 shelves stuffed full of chocolate Father Xmases and advent calenders, and my native pony has grown a winter coat within a week.

 

[Enfys]

Noooooooooooooooooo, it is NOT Autumn yet, not here anyway, I am still wearing tee shirts and mowing the blasted lawns because the grass refuses to stop growing.

Autumn equinox is September 22nd, clocks change November 1st. (according to my calender anyway)

Our swallows left weeks ago, the robins went ages before them, but it can't be that cold yet because I have just been buzzed by a hummingbird.

 

[MDJO]

Sacks of carrots are back in stock !!
