WINTER


" The North Wind doth blow and we shall have snow. "


The weather vane on the stables predicted as much yesterday, and sure enough we woke to a light covering of snow on the fells this morning. It certainly feels as though winter has arrived.


The progress of the ridden horses continues well, Confetti has completed her six weeks initial backing and has been turned away to consider the experience until the New Year, while Bunny is attending working hunter clinics and showing us just what a talented jumper our 'dressage prospect' is ! Accordingly we may have to consider a slight change of discipline direction for the Rabbit.
