Hulloo!
Well I have to apologise for the 2 months its been since the last update.
2 feet of snow in November meant I had over 2 miles of road to plough myself, water to sledge 250 yards to the horses and a labour intensive - if beautiful and fun - long day.
Hellish difficult trying to capture how stunningly GINGER Charlot was in the snow - every time i got my phone out he would come up for a scratch - he LOVES facials!
The minus 18 weather had me hauling out buckets of warm water 5 or 6 times a day - the roll call was Spike, Mal, Likely then Charlot. I had to do C last as he would drink EVERYthing just because he could!
(After 5 winters in Alaska with a colicky horse I am the biggest fan of warm water - ie just off cold - for keeping the gut hydrated in sub zero temps).
I then badly injured an eye whilst hauling water (argument with a bungee cord) so couldn't see well enough to type for a few weeks and, well, January has just been chores and being able to get out to see the lost 6 weeks of horse clients...
