Snapped some poor quality phone pics when I put the girls out nekkid for the first time this year. Temps are 15C right now and I know a good dusty roll well help them shift the winter woollies and help everyone feel better. The trick now will be to get back in a timely manner this evening to bring them back in before temps drop too far!
Work has been keeping me swamped and sleepy by the end of the day so I sadly have not been logging much saddle time again. However PL has increased her Nancy time to 3 days a week, so it's really only Kika and myself on a break ;-)
Here's hoping a nice 5 day weekend next week for Easter will help get me back on track if not sooner ☺
Happy weekend all!
A place where I record the adventures of myself and my Irish Sport Horse mare, Kika. Who I purchased as an un-backed 3yr old in 2007. This blog follows the trials and tribulations of first-time horse ownership since moving from Ireland to Luxembourg in 2010. UPDATE: as of 2013, Kika is being joined by Nancy a Friesan X ISH mare bred by my family who I had my eye on since she was a foal and have been lucky enough to buy and add to my equine family.
They are so pretty and shiny!
ReplyDeleteSunshine helps hem look shiney, honestly though both need a good elbow scrubbing to help dislodge the excess fur!
DeleteWork interrupting pony time is the pits. Glad Nancy is getting some
ReplyDeleteGood rides still!
Preach sister!
Deleteso exciting that PL and Nancy are enjoying each other so much to increase the lease!
ReplyDeleteDeff helps my expenses and keeps the poneh ticking over, plus it's grool having someone to chat to ☺
Delete+15c! I'm so jealous!! Girlies looking fab still :)
ReplyDeleteSadly it was only the one day, back in my winter coat and the girls have been back in their rugs since Saturday :-(
DeleteI understand how work drags you down. I hope the long weekend helps you recuperate so you can get back to riding. :)
ReplyDeleteLong weekend coming, tomorrow is Friday!!! ☺☺☺☺
DeleteHave a lovely Easter~! The girls look lovely :)
ReplyDelete*hugs*
DeleteThanks hun!
It is so lovely to be nekked! But I also enjoy how clean they stay with a blanket lol
ReplyDeleteIt is a fine line alright, loves the cleanliness nlankets afford but the glee some sunshine brings us all counteracts it ☺
DeleteI love being able to take blankets off after a long winter. My horse is always so much happier naked!
ReplyDeleteMine too & I am happier when they can be naked and roll to their hearts content...preferably leaving loads of loose hair behind them in the field so i don't have to contend with it while grooming #selfishowner
