I should've started this topic a few days back. I forgot. Apologies!

A day off from the snow for everyone equine.

Put everyone outside today as the weather has calmed down a bit. Snow still around.

Where to begin?  I don't know. All Christmas visitors have left and the vet has been for Tiddles.  Oh, the worry.

The snow is not leaving Shetland quite yet.  Cold and icey.  Sheet ice on our tracks.  Lethal.

I threw all the horses and ponies outside today and then spent the rest of the day hiding so I wouldn't have to get them inside again!

I am trying not to feed everyone. The theory being, if there is green grass, then go eat it.  So then it snowed and haynets for all..... again.

I have learned to never get in the way of an ancient Shetland pony and her evening bucket.  She doesn't take prisoners.

Update on the latest sheep I rescued off the hill. They are very cute and tame.

Finally, the snow is starting to go, and then the thick ice which is everywhere.  The horses and ponies will be pleased to see their green fields again.

My dog walk as spent trying to find my sheep in a 40 acre field. They were at the far end grazing.

I needed supplies so I gave myself a day off from my usual life.  Best lunch ever!
