rain.....dry....rain

rained all morning b ut did eventually stop

you'll never believe - actually lunged! gaynor was involved with her 5 year old's birthday party, so no riding, but it was not raining so wanted to do something!...had to leave Charlie in the field - odd, he was ok at first, but then after we'd been out 10 minutes (bearing in mind he could see us) molly kicked off a little (boing!) and so he did too...

i think she'd had enough - she actually did quite nicely and offered right rein from the off

then left rein she started boinging .. and then made it clear she'd had enough... by heading in a straight line back to the stables... then charlie started boinging as well... and i had to be careful not to be knocked over!

a rod for our own backs, really, only two of them

in by 4 pm, they were...

roll on spring?

then home and did some work, and made a stew, and then some scones....which may end up a disaster as i misread the amount of liquid and put too much, and so had to tip more flour and baking powder in ... but they LOOK ok...

It can be a drag having only two horses. Glad you squeezed a work session in. Spring is on the way, hang on in there!

And hope the scones were good :)

My Toby gets upset when only one of the other Boys goes off. He calls to whomever I am riding when I go out of sight. He takes his role of herd leader very seriously.

Nice that you managed at least a little good work before things went, as you say, pear shaped. Trying to get a silly horse working on the lunge can be very exciting.


Our "rain" keeps promising to come in as snow. Either way, the consequnces end up being soggy.

I had to laugh at your blog- between the boinging and the custom scones.
