november

Yesterday brought a reprieve from the perma-rain! The temperatures having dropped last week I had put the boys rugs on, by friday it had climbed to 15° C at 9.30am so I  derugged three sweaty neds; I truly hate rugs! Today, although it's still not cold, the rain is back with a vengeance. As well as hatred for rugs I also have hatred for November so it's unlikey they'll be working much for the time being.

Just for the record here is Moo looking, erm filthy LOL




Chapiro wanting to play with me!!


The sheltered corner at the bottom of the field



Pony's eye view of the sheltered corner!


The resting paddock that they will be able to graze when the perma-rain passes.




The paddock that we'll use for daily turnout when they start to overnight in the stables (hopefully not until after Christmas).

Lovely paddocks you have, ours all resemble mud wallows.......and the horses are all filthy but apparently they like to be like that!

Just home from our lovely hols in deep south USA! My neds are plastered in mud and my field is an utter disgrace! I'm worried it won't really support the neds for the winter - even tho they are now having to come in at night. It might be a long winter..... At least it looks like your neds have grass!

Helen, you're right they do like to be dirty...ours too! I'm lucky with my paddocks but I guess we may get more rain than you being a bit further north, = more grass, not sure how much longer though as it's raining again!!!

No Sheila, not jealous...Florida ahh yes that was a previous life. Hope you had a lovely time.

Moo looks very handsome, dirty or not :) Your paddocks look fab for building muscle tone as they graze.
