Not so pretty today, and a whole lot more dangerous! Nearly came a cropper several times trying to push wheelbarrows up slopes and skidding on the ice (!)...
The powdery snow yesterday was a perfect surface to ride on - as long as your horses are barefoot of course :-) but today its lethal, so the horses will have to content themselves with being on the track till it thaws. I think it will be gone by tomorrow, but the ground was frozen underneath so this afternoon its all still pretty grim.
Still, snow does a fantastic job of polishing up hooves...
By way of comparison, here are the hooves on one of the rehab horses, the top photo taken yesterday and the lower photo when he arrived in December.
