i was deceived by the glorious sunshine this morning into not putting rug on. oops. it snowed in teh afternoon and of course i was 25 miles away at work. Molly was warm; not as warm as she couldl have been but no way cold. i put the fleece cooler on as she was also a bit damp and standing in she's more likely to cool if damp, and put a couple of extra slices of haylage, but she'll be fine. She will be getting a rug the rest of the week though .... it's forecast to get a bit worse.... so there'll be no work done either this week. but i reckon if i'd left her rugless and unclipped this winter, she'd have been fine
and we can't repeat the ride we did saturday morning; they've ploughed the field up. they're supposed to be leaving riding strips round the outside of crop fields, but someone forgot to tell the ploughman that....

Oh, no! About the field that is. I hate when that happens. The farmers here tell me I can ride around the fields too and then they plow/plant right up to the edge.
I am getting tired of trying to figure out which rugs/sheets to put on my Boys. Everytime I turn around the weather changes. I feel for you and Molly.
the annoying thing is, jean, we're on a private estate. they specifically put a notice up telling us about the riding edges (and then there's another strip not to ride on further out again) ... it's not local farmers, it's the people we're paying the livery to! there are a load of other fields but some rides we prefer to others.... ah well.
That does seem to be the most annoying when you have someones word to do something and they just don't do it.
