I've been foiled partly because the weather has been atrocious - the last time I was aiming for Angel to have an outing the meet was on the most exposed area of the moor, the wind was gusting at 60mph and it was hailing. The moor was saturated and it simply wouldn't have been fair on him. On top of that, I've been busy, and its been a struggle to get out at all, and Andy and Bailey have been unavailable for nannying duties - so thoughtless (!).
However, I really am hoping to get him out a good few times between now and Christmas - he's so nearly at the stage when he has "got" it...
PS: Now REALLY frustrated...weather forecast that I heard this morning: "Dry and sunny in most areas, scattered showers in the south west". WHAT?!?!?!?! Its been hailing here since 5.30am, an absolutely continuous downpour, now nearly 11am and no signs of stopping...

I'm so glad that my mare is now barefoot......It's going to be so much easier for her to grow the foot she's going to need for the forseeable future without an iron shoe to restrict the developement of webbed feet!!!!
Where can you get wellies for horses????

Yes, i heard that "scattered showers" for the South West while I was at work , drenched by the non-stop downpour...
Managed to ride Boy in the 1 hour of blue sky we had though :-)

We've got standing water on the lanes and we are at 1100 feet - Penny, Sarah - you two must be marooned!!! Send out an SOS by email if need be, and we will paddle to your rescue :-)
We've been having fun riding in the floods. Not as deep as last winter when we ended up having a swim but the winter is young....
