Then The Snow!

Then the snow and big freeze came as forecast. Horses completely comfortable with it all. The snow settled on their backs is a good indicator of the insulating property of their winter coats and they were all warm at the base of their ears and between the forelegs, even Charlie Brown, the old man of the bunch. Extra hay was made available.

This was followed by rain and the field was flooded in the lower parts. However, with the recent change to a few dry days the ground is drying out nicely, and perhaps now we can look forward to the business of starting to work them. Judging by some of their antics they will enjoy a bit of work now.
