after 1/2 hour trooping round the field trying to catch her! she and the other adult mare have a competition going to see who can be closest to the nearly 3 year old baby - who's an ID cross bigger than either of them by about a hand, ATM! so it got a bit dodgy, and a bit tedious. and the sun had got out so the flies were killing...
hope some of the other mares come back from stud soon, i think this could be a bit dodgy!
then, had to wash her bum... the light wasn't good enough yesterday anywhere to see anything, but in the sunshine today it was clear she'd had a major season...euch.
then out for a ride with other owner on her large wide pony .. her saddle slipped, she had to get off at harbour house (well, before we got there) to sort it out, i had to get off as molly had a one on as alan (the pony) wasn't following her...so had to have a hand to get back on .. then back. found a new way i hadn't know about to avoid the ford.....but needs all cutting down, very high grass (above our toes!)
and a barbecue tonight ... sun had gone in by the time we'd eaten!

You surely do get your exercise...and not necessarily by riding! I don't envy you all that walking. My smaller pasture does have some benefits. (And my Boys, being "stomach" horses come for treats.)
Well you did get the ride in. And you finished it in the saddle. Way to go. *G*
I've not followed your blog from the beginning Claire, you'll have to fill me in on all the details when you come over, but Mollie does seem to keep you on your toes!!
