walk out in hand...and bad news lasst night!

and surprised i did that, was in two minds whether it was going to rain or not, and the wind was certainly getting up! I'll only be able to do anything next week if i get up earlier; it's getting darker in the mornings, of course, and i'm finding at the moment that it's nearly 9 by the time i get back..  mmmm think i've said this before?


anyway, plan to ride tomorrow...


last night went to harbour house, i think i said (no i  didn't, just checked..).. anyway, the news later was that a yearling on the yard had died... grass sickness...i'd seen him at 5, lying in his stable head on owners knee..we were hoping it was anything but that .. depressing.  lovely coloured gelding!

So sad to hear about the baby. Looked up grass sickness and I guess they really don't know what causes it. Poor little horse.

I saw this on your fb page, Claire, so sad!
Grass sickness is a tricky one, very few horses make a recovery and if they do their health is severely compromised.
