I know owning horses in the winter is hard work, with those muddy fields, frozen water trough's, cold fingers and all that. But I must admit I actually quite like winter, especially those cold sunny days, and wrapping your ned up all cozy in their stable! Anyone got some winter pics of their gg's in the snow? This is Connie all wrapped up!

i blooming hate the winter... having said that im at a different yard this year so hopefully will be better facilities... one working tap right on the other side of the yard is not good!

i used to have horses and so do miss the winter weathers around them lovely picture

No, I must admit I'm not a big fan of winter. And I'm starting to realize that I'm going to regret having a horse with masses of feathers >_< He's already coming in with black legs rather than white lol. But the good thing is, at least my pony gets bought in for me on these dark nights and there is a fully lit indoor school to ride in. So I can't complain really. And I must say, I rode out the other morning and loved it, it was cold, but lovely and sunny, the perfect morning for a lovely long hack

Love it. Deep littered stables, thermal socks, head band ear warmers, rugged up ponies, clipping , making up a warm sugar beet, Decent coat, gloves and boots makes winter much easier.

Went for a hack this morning and the ground was lovely to have a canter on.

As an overweight owner of a overweight pony and three black dogs we cope better in the cold


Re feathers, Pig oil and sulphur will be your friend if you slap it on twice a week.

. No i hate it!! I feel so sorry for postmen in winter too! Just a random thought!

I always feel sorry for people working in the community, it is the going out to houses in the dark and wet winter when you cant find parking spaces on narrow strees that makes me hope that they never make me work in the community as a midwife. I will stick to my warm hospital thanks Unless I can wear my wax jacket, wellies and cap
