Would love to be able to work my ponies this morning, but were stable bound until the thaw, ground is solid and the roads are like ice rinks.

Turned mine out this morning but not able to ride as road/lanes still covered with snow and very icey. Fingers crossed for Saturday.

Lorry plated with nothing needing to be done, thank heavens but can't get enough riding done on the novice so may not do the show this saturday. As there is not any working in area I think it may be to much for her to cope with just a 'riding in break' and expected to cope with people lunging in the same area. If we can't make it we hope all go's well and good luck and have fun.

With the forecast for more snow and icy roads and having to travel from the other side of Somerset, I've decided not to go this time. Not prepared to take the risk.
I'll look forward to making it to a future show.
Good luck to those who brave the weather.

Best of luck to all who are going.

More snow in North Devon this morning, still hoping to come to the show on Saturday but it will all depend on whether i can get the lorry up the lane here, steep hill!!! Not sure the farmer will be too impressed if i have to phone him for a tow!!!
