It has been quite rainy in Wales of late – not so surprising really for Wales and yet it somehow always seems to be a cause of upset. “It is summer. The sun should be shining!” we cry. But the weather is not considerate of our preferences – and so it rains despite the name of the month.
I love the way the rain rolls off a horse's coat and they do not seem to mind it too much on a mild day.
About the only drawback of which I am aware of liverying at
Briwnant Riding Centre is the scarcity of stables. The number of horses seriously outnumbers the number of stables. This does not bother Red at all as he hates being in the stable. He was a naughty and difficult horse when we liveried at Wyndham because he spent so much time in the stable, especially in the winter. Dee does not mind the stable and is quite partial to a cosy night in, but she never makes a fuss about going back out to the field, whatever the weather. They are, when all is said and done, horses – animals that live on pasture.
As there was no available stable on our last rainy visit to Briwnant we tied Dee up in the hay barn to groom her. She seemed quite happy with this arrangement and enjoyed a happy half hour munching.
