Day 1 restart after the break for Stanley, worked well in the pen and had some nice soft reactions to rope through the bit and following the flag, good walk around learning space through the farm yard and left to stand for a while, ground driving tomorrow for him I think 

It certainly is, just tag Richard Boatwright in your questions

Loads and loads of excellent videos to watch in the catalogue here that no doubt will answer so many of your questions and give helpful advice 

Welcome to the community and the start of your journey, we will need to see pictures 🤣👍

Well we are well and truly thawed now and round pen nearly drained, work restarts tomorrow for 4 of them! 

Richard Boatwright no I missed this one, thanks 

Richard Boatwright really do wish it was, thaw coming Monday apparently but for now it’s subzero and we have no water, running backwards and forwards with containers from home now we have emptied the emergency winter bowsers, I’m sure the horses appreciate it having their servants doing the extra chores! 

Snow has gone now but rock solid still, managed to get them out again for a few hours, only one thing on their minds! 

Richard Boatwright Haha it’s all good, I love winter and snow, we managed to get them out today and risk the walk of death across the ice, to be fair they were all very well behaved, even the yearling and 2 years ago old, they had a few hours out to let the steam off and groom and socialise so I’m happy, round pen is still an ice rink so can’t see any meaningful work until after the weekend been undertaken, I think Day 1 will be repeated for them all 🤣🤣

It was going well until we had a dumping of snow that has now frozen solid, can’t even get the horses out of the stables to the fields as it’s sheer ice and forecast to stay down to -6 c for the rest of the week so we have some frustrated 🐎 

Hope you guys stay safe in the bad weather and your fellow drivers are not as stupid on the roads as the UK ones are in snow!
