| I was planning on them being out 24/7 now got my own yard but the weather and fields don't want to play nice!!! I've sectioned the field off to rest for summer and putting hay out. I do have 3 big fields but I took liveries on (who's great idea was that! I could have had all that land to myself and rotated fields haha). |

| We are lucky as we have two gateways to our field so they don't really get that cut up and boggy, the money is good from the liveries I am sure but hey nothing like having your own place is there. |

| The money is good as place is paying for it's self which is what we wanted but now I wish I'd kept it for myself. 2 of the liveries are good friends but the other 2 are a pain in the a**e. |

Mud??? We haven't had appreciable rain for weeks/months, the horses are still on their summer grazing (but moving on Sunday), the grass is still growing a little and neither of mine are rugged yet. Oh yes, I hacked out for an hour & a half today without a coat and I haven't turned my central heating on yet!

I am sick of the mud, we have loads of it, there is standing water on some of our fields, the area round the water troughs is really deep, like you the frost coming back again is very welcome as long as it dosen,t bring the snow with it,we have had a couple of hard frost already . I am having to use my school for turnout for the mare and foal as its so wet the poor foal was struggling to walk through it, roll on the summer  |

| no real mud here...no rain for weeks.....don't remember a time when my horse was so clean and only wearing medium to light rugs in November(he is clipped)...would like a bit of sun though it is so very very dull and misty most of the time!...just keeping an eye on his feet though (esp'frog area) as the ground is pretty damp despite the dry weather. |

Up until the other night we havent had rain in Cheshire for so long its unreal. The grass is still growing like mad so dont really want any rain to be honest.
Luckily all my fields gateways are laiden with hardcore or the oldfashioned slabs from years ago and the fields are very free draining aswell. So count myself lucky really dont suffer to much in the way of mud!!

Seems like half of the mud from our fields is on my horses!!! Grrrr.
It is too warm for rugs but the little darlings are taking advantage of the spa treatment. |
