lunging in the rain...

We are mad, of course, but it had to be done.

We were glad we'd decided to keep them in today - didn't stop raining and there are now ponds in the paddock

we knew there was a free spell in teh arena from 2 - 3 - as it happens, everyone else must have cancelled as there was no one there when we went over early - not surprised, it had lashed down most of the day.

So molly was lunged with her waterproof luminous exercise sheet under the roller, and Charlie was lunged with his lightweight outdoor on! They both needed the work.

but we decided to keep them in tomorrow as well...


eventually got home about 4 (I'd been out since about 11) - and no sooner got in when my mate texted to say we're now on flood alert.  bummer.  So we've got our fingers and everything else crossed....

I thought there might be danger of floods where you are. The River Cam will be full to the brim as well.

Good plan -the car drivers were suicidal today..........or was it murderous. No let up with the weather yet either boo hoo Christine

Fingers crossed you get no more rain. At least you got them worked over the weekend...I still haven't found the energy, :-(

Not another flood alert! What a worry.

I often lunge in their turnouts, if it's not too hot. Just takes one more step out of the equation when you are pressed for time or fighting the weather.

Trying to send some sun. Maybe I haven't used the right postage?
