The forecast heavy rain arrived in the night and a lot was is pretty soggy first thing, but then the magic sun come out and stayed out all day. The poor horses were all sweating under their rugs in a balmy 15 degrees. Rugs off for the moment, as ponies still hairy and awaiting Laura with her clippers . Rode in the woods with Susan and then a little field schooling on a well drained section.
Home to fabulous tangy beef and bean stew, roasted veg ( lots of squash! ) courtesy of Liz and I rustled up baked apples, autumn food at its best.
