Merry Christmas

Not alot to report the weather has made it impossible to even get the boys out of the field never mind ride. Their field is a few minutes walk down the lane from the yard which has turned to solid ice making walking them up the hill too risky so they've not been out of the field in over a week.
They've got a large rounding bale of hay in and ive been bedding their field shelter with lots of straw,feeding them and doing water and thats about it really. They finally have the whole field back and have stopped hanging around the gate constantly so I think they are pretty happy.
Hunting on Boxing Day is obviously out due to Ali not being ridden.

Dogs are all in the process of being stripped,yep Crufts preparation has started already, so ive splashed out on new fleece Horseware coats for them as they are feeling the cold. They look very cute.

Merry Christmas and all the best for 2010xx

Merry Christmas to you, your human family, and all the four legged darlings.

Winter just frustrates as far as riding goes. All we can do is wait for spring.
