Busy...

Normal blog service will resume shortly but for now its a manic few days fencing (again!) and resurfacing the arena not to mention a "horse changeover weekend" with Paddy going home and new boy Chester arriving...

Good job its the longest day - might just get everything done...

More soon!

Good luck with the fencing work! We are eventually going to replace all our (I can't wait) AND put in a small arena... you sure you don't want to come to my house when you're all done over there?

Ooh, exciting, what surface are you going for????

Much as I love the present surface because it shows up lameness brilliantly, I've had to face the fact that after nearly 10 years it needs some help :-(

I've gone for rubber to top up as the base is perfect but the rubber will (I hope) give good protection when its freezing - its been a right pain not being able to use the school so many weeks the past few winters.

Fingers crossed - the stuff hasn't arrived yet(!)...

Good cost effective choice, your base is fine, just needs some more spring in its step :-)

Exactly :-) I looked at all sorts but most fibre additions are better when you have deep sand and need to be mixed in, which wouldn't have worked for us - plus didn't give such good protection against the cold. Here's hoping!
