Lazybones

We've had the most incredible weather this week - summer in March - and its been nigh on perfect for the horses.  Not too cold, not too hot, no nasty flies; grass in the fields (which they are now on at night) and sprouting leaves in the hedgerows - plus of course haylage on the tracks during the day!
Obviously, all but the newest arrival, Eva, have to do their fair share of work in the mornings, and that leaves them pretty exhausted(!) and in need of serious relaxation by the time the sun is high in the sky.  They have therefore spent most afternoons this week doing the equine version of laying by the pool - aka loafing...

I have lots of hoof updates to post, but its been so beautiful that I've had my camera in my pocket all week and couldn't resist a Friday feel good film. I had to seize the day, because we may not see sunshine like this again for several months - I hope you enjoy it :-)
