i think she must be fed up of the weather, and also of being the only mare out - even though she can talk to the geldings, they are in a different field.
the result was, she did NOT want to go out again. she'd walk with alacrity to her stable, but not the other way.
so she's in for tonight, and if she gets hacked off with that, only herself to blame! hope she survives, first time in this stable overnight since we moved there. I've not known her actively want to be in in the summer before, i reckon it really has to be the weather
did some rope circling tonight (she moved once she knew she wasnt' going back to the field...) as it had rained so much she was still wet in parts -front end dry, but back from about half way along where the saddle would go wasn't.... useful thing to do, get her listening to me and remembering where the boundaries are.
i think she must have been kicked on her flank at some point in the last week or so = there's one spot, when i go to groom it, she kicks. the only reason for that has to be a point of tenderness, so I'm being very careful. there's nothing to see, so it'll be a bruise, i expect.

Horses must get as frustrated as we do with the bad weather. Sorry Molly is in, but maybe she will appreciate being dry.
In fairness it is pretty bloody horrible at the minute,my two were tucked up in the shed when I got there today!
Molly fed up? Aren't we all!
