flexions

now I know how to do them, are the thing to do when the weather's pants (foggy, and blowing up, and may well rain!). Molly was very good about them when she didn't decide to chew the rein! oops.

i was right in thinking she'd been on a diet (which she did need, but now is about right!). very little grass left, the main cause being the local water board, which is currently occupying a lot of field space. they will reinstate, and are now, I am told, going to pay for supplementary grazing up the road....in the meantime, YO has opened the large bale haylage loitering about from last year to supplementary feed. I've never had to think about that before in the summer!

My guys are on hay all summer. Maybe in the long run it's better as you don't have to worry so much about excessive weight gain or laminitis.

Now you have no excuse for not working in the bad weather. You can simply do flexions. *G*
