You can definitely tell that winter is well on its way. For one thing, Galahad now frequently comes in from the field covered with mud and I have swapped from using a body brush to a dandy brush.
The fields are holding up pretty well so far but there is still enough mud to cover a pony!
Another sign is that Cookster is now wearing these stirrups.
My sister likes to ride in her wellies when the ground is muddy and these make it that bit safer to do so.
I on the other hand am still sticking faithfully to my jodhpur boots.
They might be falling apart and they definitely need replacing but until it gets cold or very wet I will be wearing them!
