Happy birthday Kelly! Honestly, 25 isn't SO old :-)

Well, that's us back to reality - after 22 degrees, sunny and dry for the last 3 weeks, yesterday it started snowing. We then had hail, rain, more snow, sleet, a brief dry spell and drizzle. Luckily this wasn't enough to deter Kelly, who had come up to spend some quality time with Dexter on the eve of her 25th birthday...
 Dexter hates the rain, but not even the bitter north wind and her lack of appropriate clothing was enough to put Kelly off, so Bryan, Buster and I bravely accompanied them, notwithstanding Bryan's utter gloom about the dramatic deterioration in the temperature of his holiday resort.
Dexter demonstrates that despite his puzzling hoof he is more than capable of roadwork and posh trotting - and Kelly and I took our minds off the wintry weather by planning a day taking Felix and Dex competing XC later in the year!
Happy birthday Kelly, from Dexter and all of us at Rockley :-)

Happy Birthday Kelly! I can just imagine Bryan's horror at going out in such weather but if he's going to hunt he's going to have to get used to it! I always find the show jumpers spend at least their first season looking for the groom with the rug every time it rains or they are standing in the cold!

Poor Bryan! I tried to cheer him up by reminding him that it was probably sunny in Kent but oddly that didn't seem to improve his mood! Still, nice and dry today so he is more upbeat again :-)

Poor Bryan. I hope Kelly has/had a wonderful day!
