Too icy to ride this morning so did chores - broke ice on the water trough, mucked out shelter and laid a new bed, checked neds, fed etc. When we finished we treated ourselves to coffee and cake. Chevie amused us pulling faces Murphy disappeared into the shelter. I went to look and he'd gone to bed! I felt really pleased that I was able to stroke him without him trying to get up.Felt he totally trusted me. He seemed so relaxed - I've never seen him lying down before. Made my day!

I've taken time off work to try to do a bit of riding but it's been too icy (I live in Worcs too). We seem to be the only county in the country with no snow!! Sometimes it's nice to just chill & do a few chores though. I must admit I'm quite enjoying not scraping mud off my mare every 5 mins! Very occasionally I'll find her lying down and she just stays there as I walk over and give her a fuss! Sometimes she stretches right out like a dog! By the way Jane-s, Kobbykarin & I have been trying to organise a Worcs get together - nothing's been planned yet but the thread's on the Areas board if you're interested in coming.

:-D yes i think we are the only county with no snow, apart from a spinkle on the hills! we had a sprinkle at our yard (about 15 mins away from Jane-S) but that was all!
Glad to see they are both well Jane :-D

We had snow and then a good bout of rain Xmas night which froze over. I nearly lost our Landy to the hedge on the way to the field on black ice and the area right in front of our shelter was like a skating ring! I put road salt down but it didn't make much of a dent in it all day! Our Tennessee Mare must have slipped on it as she had an over-reach type of injury to her leg. Nothing serious and I couldn't find it later on when wanting to disinfect it. Just hoping things are better this morning. Had more rain over night. Attachments:
