The Weather

I hadn't realised until I started writing this blog quite regularly, how pretty much everything revolves around the weather! So....I shall begin by writing about it once again.
As feared, the weather last week was horrendous, we did manage to unearth enough rugs to keep all the horses dry, but even so, we kept the old horses in for a couple of nights because it was so ghastly. We are on top of a hill so I do think that we get the worst of it. The days were dark with the wind and the rain driving across the fields. Monty, Eddy and Runner were particularly thrilled to come in out of it all, and there was a general feeling of contentment in the sanctuary barn as they gazed out at the pouring rain.
Anyway, we have taken the bull by the horns this morning and dared the rain to continue by removing the rugs. Apparently, it is going to be much better this week, which wouldn't be hard......
Richard came along to do a vetting for some of the newer horses, it was jolly good for our work experience girls because he very patiently went through the things to look for in general conformation, which will, no doubt, be useful for them when they go back to college.
