Sun, rain, wind....... pub!
Me and the little grey man have been out and about this weekend.
Saturday has been glorious so a trip to the pub was in order - no, we don't take EVERY opportunity, just most :-0
My friend Chris has started to share a horse at my yard (it's so great she is back in the saddle again) so four of us - Sharon and Coy, Chris and Edward, Ruth and Ruby and of course me and the chap ventured off to the local common for a few wet and soggy canters with the sun shining beautifully.
We had a great ride, although Edward was a little naughty, and it was lovely to turn the horses out in the afternoon for a few hours of munch time with the sun shining on their backs.
By the time they came in Herbs was practically asleep on his feet from having such a full tum and there is nothing nicer than a happy horse at the end of a sunny day.
Sunday, Sharon and I rode out with Jo and Kiko. Kiko is a newcomer to the yard and just a baby rising 5. We took our usual route and nothing, but nothing fazed him. He is such a star! There were the 8 and 9 year old Herbs and Coy saying "ooo what's that scary thing" occasionally and Kiko just wondered what all the fuss was about!
We met lots of traffic as we took in a bridlepath around the local ponds but they all behaved like superstars. It was, however, rotten weather. We arrived back at the yard absolutely drenched and had to give the ponies time to dry off before turning them out in their lovely warm rugs to get wet again!
During preparation for bed, and cosy in his jim jams I took a few pics, and there are also some from a few days ago taken in the field and stable yard.
Herbs is so photogenic - lol. Spot the odd one out!
