Horse ride

We haven't ridden the horses for AGES. Mainly time is the issue, but partially the weather and their feet.
We planned to go out this morning early before it got crazy hot, Then Rosbif was born. We spent some time looking at him then decided to go anyway, hoping that Buttercup and him would sort themselves out while we were gone.
We had a pleasant ride - although a bramble attacked me. Yes I put Summer Fly Cream on it which is yellow. It is apparently a soothing antiseptic which is meant to discourage fly strike. We use it on the animals, what is good enough for them is good enough for me!

There were quite a few trees still over the path from the winter snow storm that brought down loads of mature trees. We had to take the saddles off to get past this one

We just had to dismount past this one. Unfortunately there was another one just beyond it that we could not get past. But ok in the end as we took and interesting and new route hom through the trees.

The dog came too

The horses enjoyed a lovely cold shower when we got home
