Two horses now shod  and out and about:)

Mini heat wave then ended and reality set in with high winds and rain…

Not made of sugar 🙂

Snow rides were a first for us both 🙂

Rufus made the most of the better days and green grass in pit stops 🙂

Flax?

Flax coming along quietly between weather systems.

Well – we started – and we might one day be able to hack out again  – but as the weather worsened I scaled back as the areas I was using for restarting and playing games got too slippery. TBH riding three at this stage where there is a lot of confidence building for them and I and a lot of getting off and walking past things and then trying to get back on again – by the time I get to Flax I am overtired and my fitness level isn’t there  yet but as daylight lengthens  we will see if I can overcome that – as riding Bud becomes a ‘norm’ and not something I fret about and am easily put off then  that will help.

Doing three a day alongside writing and the what bits of the farm are left is a lot of effort and I decided this time to put them before the writing for the first time in years – it was probably my last chance – it is appalling how unfit I am. Have had one week ( last week) when no rides due to the wind being too strong up here and I must admit I had my nose to the window glaring at it like a small child willing it to go away – it went in its own time and Flax and I carried on  as best we could.
