SNOW DAY!

Such a pretty day, like being in Narnia!

I got up and walked across the fields to the yard a 8:30 this morning, yes I was keen! and was there till gone 4, must say not outside the whole time though. Horses we not too impressed by the weather and yet again we had no running water in the barn.

We turned out Flea and Smartie as Flea would of just got very bored and become annoying if he stayed in all day.
Flea was loving it, playing with the snow - rearing at it haha. However, Smartie was far from keen poor boy. So we did give them some haylage to make them happy but, I am thinking that Smartie's coat is like a artic sleeping bag!


Did some mucking out and then decided that as Mayfly can't go without having a walk in the day that I should brave it and go on a little hack.

To start our hack, her boots had frozen rock solid so had to find some others. On the other hand, luckily it stopped snowing for the time I was out :)

She was a cheeky little marey, took any chance of me bending down under the snow covered branches to jump into trot, ahh dear. It was really enjoyable though as well we don't experience this much snow often and it was all so perfect (until we went trudging through it!) Met some deer enjoying the weather too, but when don't we meet deer on our travels!


She isn't looking to bad huh? not too fat ...

She was quite content to spend her day in her stable, listening to Radio 2 and shoveling haylage into her mouth whilst be able to watch the snow, and me being an idiot making snowmen and snowangels! Lazy Mayfly!
