Its not just my blogging brain which is frozen and sluggish...The horses are no longer behaving as if spring is in the air - who can blame them? - and we are all wondering if its too late to go into hibernation...
So far we haven't had the heavy snow which has blighted other parts of the country (though its snowed overnight and coming down quite persistently this morning) but its well below freezing day and night and more like January than March.
At least the wind has dropped slightly, though Wally and Felix don't look too optimistic and none of the horses will venture onto the eastern side of the track AKA the arctic wasteland...
Luckily I've still been able to get horses out exercising - the school is as hard as concrete and impossible, but at least the roads are ok - but its frightening to calculate how much haylage I am still feeding to the horses and cattle.
Paddy and Rolo go head to head in the firs...
...but they get distracted and Ruby muscles in! Paddy, like most horses, has settled in very quickly but I think he - along with the rest of us - would be grateful for a bit of sun on his back and some grass in the fields. Maybe next week?
