It’s Wednesday…
Happy Hump Day you absolute winter warriors. 🐪❄️
TWO WEEKS until the meteorological start of spring.
Two. Weeks.
Which basically means we are now emotionally allowed to start romanticising slightly lighter evenings while still defrosting water buckets like Victorian peasants.
We have nearly made it.
We have survived:
– sideways rain
– mud that has claimed at least one welly per yard
– rugs on, rugs off, rugs on, rugs off (the cardio alone…)
– that one horse who is feral because “it’s windy”
– and the daily game of “is that mould or just character building?”
Somewhere deep in the fields the cobs are already moulting in protest.
The thoroughbreds are still offended by air temperature below 12°.
And we are here… layering up like we’re about to summit Everest just to fill a haynet.
But listen.
The light is stretching. The birds are getting chatty. The fields might one day not resemble chocolate mousse.
We have nearly done it. We have wintered. We have bonded over sacred hay and emotional damage.
Two more weeks, team.....and then March winds and April showers.....but just lighter....🙏🏽🤣🤣🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
Hold the line. Hydrate. Moisturise your hands. And remember .... every muddy Wednesday is one step closer to spring chaos. 🌱🐴
