Yesterday was a foul day here. I'd been to the yard in the morning and got all my jobs done, waited a bit for a friend who said she was riding but she had a slight crisis at home and was late, by which time it had started tipping it down so we decided not to bother. Came home, had my dinner and did a bit of work and then headed back over to bring Jack down from the field and give him his medicine. By this point it was horribly windy and throwing it down, I was all togged up in my waterproofs and wellies and Jack was non too happy about having to be dragged out of his field and do the long walk back to the yard with the wind in his face. Did the deed with Jack - in the rain on the yard because he gets very stressed in his stable if he's on his own, took him back down to the field at which point the ponies in the fields adjacent to the track thought it would be a really good idea to run along the fence line and tease him (what better way of keeping warm ) which didn't make my job any easier, had the pleasure of watching old Jack go running back to his mates and then having a fly around the field and then battled my way against the wind back down to the yard. Did a few yard chores, cuddled the yard dogs and went back home bedraggled and probably quite smelly.
Walked into a cosy house, OH lying on the settee in his room, log burner lit, watching the grand prix. it crossed my mind that this could be my life if I didn't have horses, but do you know what, I wouldn't swap for anything!
