More snow and sub zero temps coming

Winter winter go away and don't come back.We've had one smashing day last week when the rugs came off and the mud was rolled on! These two are both late twenties and both are looking so good this year. At least geting one day out of rugs is a plus. For us volunteer staff it's heavy going with mud replacing snow right now. The ponies are all beginning to show signs of moulting out winter coats and are itchy so using everything they can to scratch. The old damson tree in the back yard, poor thing, has only got half a dozen branches left right high up and it's poor bend trunk is rubbed almost smooth from constant use.

The mud is an evil substance it has super glue power and yesterday had my wellies in it's grip. Unable to move my lower body the upper part kept going and down I went -SPLAT! knees, hands and glasses all coated in a cold brown sludge. I didn't realise how many four letter words I knew until then. To add insult to injury EMW Fred decided to gain entry to the haylage stack.Clearly the fencing battery had lost it's ummph. Shifting him out I carefully bandaged the assaulted bales with repair patches and changed battery and for good measure added another lower strand of fencing tape. That'll stop him!
This morning guess where Fred was. We are actioning Plan B this afternoon watch this space!

Sadly the NIGHT OF 1000 STARS isn't going anywhere by the lack of interest. It's the last time we'll try to run this kind of function. such a shame as we've worked our butts off trying to get it off the ground.
