This winter has been a nightmare, rain, wind, drizzle, I can count the number of crisp bright days on one hand. Im sick of mud, mud and more mud. My poor little welsh babies have hardly been able to go out, Im resorting to inventing new ways to keep them amused. My 4 yr old welsh a stands by fence and if you dont get him in he will put his foot through and just stand there cos he knows I will fetch him in. Hes got a lovely thick rug on and only goes out in day, very spoilt. problem is I am scared to go out in case he does it and cant get out. Roll on Spring, then again prob more rain in Wales.

@sillygilly we still have feb and march.

The thing I love about winter is all the "country folk" who think hunters are fashionable, and fur hats are needed dont actually venture out so all the bridleways and footpaths are empty which means its all mine and dogs and they can run riot

The cob I am sledging I sold as he ws tooo chilled but as bombproof as they come. He actually backed onto a moving tractor for a scratch once and I used to drive him all over the place.


PS I dont own hunters they are utter crap now

It is nice to have the bridleways clear, when you say hunters I guess you mean the wellies? Did you make your own swingletree or did it come off a cart?

I agree with sillygilly, mud is a nightmare I could do with some tips, I'll start another post

I agree Hunters are crap, they leak like hell after a short time, gimme cheap and cheerfull an day if u actually intend working in them lol

I don't like winter because of my health I have loads of chest infections, but my mini loves it the best time of the year for Dimby with his grass allergies
