about riding on saturday?
car to garage. partner picked me up. took her home, wrapped parcel to post, post office, yard. muck out etc; wait for farrier. farrier late. rashly let other's go first, had to leave money with farrier and come away. no sign of partner. back to garage paid for car left hers there came home, partner appeared. we found carpet man had been this morning supposed to be this afternoon ... happily, came back! back to garage, waited for carpet man, had brunch (bacon butties, done in baguettes in my case with cheese, yummy ...). went to feed store for haylage & feed. filled car. man said what's there is all we have left for the year in haylage..... went down, unloaded car, decided go back and load car again; did so via garage for fuel as had none. back to yard unloaded more haylage. bedded up etc. put haylage in for night, made up feed. by this time totally frozen - howling gale - and starving; horse brought in and i came home.
it's true what they say, the best of the weather is in the morning, and if i hadn't had to take car to garage.... but there we go. better luck tomorrow i hope!

Well, it's 1:30 PM here and I still haven't been on a horse. I did just get back from the chiropractor, though.
Weather contrast. You have howling gales, we have sunny and nearly 50 F. Quite lovely. I will go out to work a horse shortly.
I hate days like the one you described. Too many jobs to do and too few hours. Are you going to be OK with the haylage for the rest of the season, or are you going to have to go hunting?
should be ok, assuming there's no sudden blizzards! which is unlikely. If I'm really lucky, i should get her out 24/7 by the end of the month, and if what i've got now isn't enough for now, then there's something stopping the grass growing .... just wanted to be safe.
the annoying thing was, i bought 30 delivered back in september, but then she insisted on being in a month earlier than i wanted and with that, and all that time off i had so she was coming in a lot earlier than normally, it vanished and i've had to get a total of 11 more than i'd originally thought.
