Hi everybody, how are you all coping with the snow? i'm almost glad i haven't a horse at the moment. i haven't driven my car for 3 weeks and it is under a snow drift. hows everyones horses doing?

I'm so glad my horses are in the back garden and I don't have to drive to a yard at silly o'clock in the morning with the ice and snow. The horses are all doing well.

The yard is only 5 mins walk so it doesnt really affect us apart from it takes longer to trudge through the snow!

Not too bad so far - would've been a nightmare without the 4x4 tho! Horses are fed and put out in the mornings by YO(weather depnding), let in again in the afternoon. Everyones mucking in with everything so if people cant make it up to the yard, the horses are all taken care of. The YO hubby has the gritting contract for the local area, so it's farly straight forwards keeping the yard free of snow / ice. The taps (and watering system) freezing have been the biggest PITA, we're collecting water from the YO's utility room sink!

Nightmare at the moment as my yard set at the top of a hill,lovely in the better weather ,but having to leave car and walk the rest of the way !!
Ponies love the snow though ,like big kids rolling around shoveling around with their noses

my horses love it lol, I did have frozen water pipes and have to take water down in our caravan water containers but since we have had snow I have had no more probs
