molly the wuss

but i can't blame her in this weather, i suppose.

from which you'll gather she's in again overnight.... why does she choose this year to do this? i didn't want to be buying bedding/haylage just yet!
a couple of years ago - the second winter @ harbour house - she insisted on being in a month before the others. last year it was beginning of November before she came in overnight, and then only because of yard rules. and here we are, beginning of September.

i knew i wouldn't be able to ride -could see another huge storm coming- but thought i might have time to round pen - not. left her to her tea and some haylage with a view to turning out later (about 1930) but no way would she leave her stable.

I know it's a pain to care for her, but considering the mud fever and those other bumps in her ear area, Molly may well be making the best decision for her overall health. She may know the wet is causing her problems.

Wish I could send you some of our sun. We have plenty. And it's not at all wimpy sun either.

that and the fact that there's good haylage in the barn! i know, jean, it's just with the redundancy i was hoping to hold off ....

There is such a storm here tonight that my three could not wait to get inside the barn at only five thirty. And I'm up and out at seven tomorrow and really do not need to be mucking out :-( !
