The weather has calmed down now and everyone has made it through perfectly well.  While the Icelandics were eating their breakfast, I took off their rugs.  They were dry and floofy underneath and probably glad to see the back of them.  No one is a fan of rugs but sometimes they are a necessity.

It was no joke struggling back across the hill with three large rugs and 3 buckets.  I lugged telling myself that rugs would be a very last resort for these three but I was glad they had done their job so well.

All the Shetland ponies went outside for the daylight hours as per their usual routine.  I was left with the most revolting filthy little boys bedroom to muck out. It was disgusting so I powdered it with antibacterial bedding powder and told myself to attack it at a later date.  It can drain a bit while I decide what would be the best treatment.

And then I set to work creating a new stall for the old ladies at the end of the shed which will give their stall a bit of a rest too.  They pee a lot.

The old ladies knew I was working in the shed and were trying to catch my eye as they wanted back inside so I ignored them.

The others were looking for grass but they were happy to be outside again.

Fivla giving me the evils!
