A regular sight at the moment they must be eating as much mud as grass, even the fields at the Remount Barracks near Melton Mowbray are not in their usual pristine condition, most of the horses have coats on to reduce the amount of grooming needed

Thanks for these comprehensive comments Peter. Much appreciated. These horses have access 24/7 to a large barn with food and hay etc in, so they must be quite happy to be outside.

Wet and muddy, yet a lovely horse image Keith

Thank you Jaap..........glad you like it.

Schön,dass es dich rausgetrieben hat lieber Keith,warm anziehen und die frische Luft wirkt Wunder,das schaut ja nach einer Grundreinigung des Pferdes aus,aber es ist auch sehr tief dieser Boden,da zeigst du sehr schöne Entdeckungen von deiner Runde und ich hoffe sehr,dass sie dir gut getan hat ,nur nichts übertreiben die ersten Tage nach so einer Grippe :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,liebe Grüße Güni :))

Thanks Güni............it was really nice to get out.

Glad you like the photo and these lovely comments are always appreciated. The horses have access to 24/7 to a dry barn so they must be quite happy to be outside even in the wet and mud..!!

Enjoy the rest of you day...........best wishes, Keith.

Hi Keith looks like it wants a good hose down,
Best TOZ

Ha, ha............that would certainly freeze it to death TOZ. The horses have access 24/7 to a large barn, so must be happy outside, even if it is wet and muddy. They certainly look healthy and well fed.

Main image clearly shows how much rain it has been having and the PIP is amazing with the hairs from the manes.
We are waiting for more exterior images..good sign Keith

Thanks very much Judite............and I'm pleased you like both the main image and the PiP. You're very kind.

Enjoy the rest of the week.

People care more for the look than horses ;-) seems the hair in the pip is from the checked one?

But - if they are too long in a mud paddock it is not good for the health of a horse. No dry spot to lay down, mud and water is not good for the hooves...
On the other hand - a few hours out is better than all day in the stable... not only true for horses
:-))) Get well soon!!

very nice

P E A C E F U L Wednesday!

They are looking for the best grasses that might grow on the soaking wetland. The bad weather has made them look like bums...

I hope you dressed warmly
