And lots of it. Again. Guess thats what it is all about living in the sub-tropics. Over the couple of days surrounding Christmas we reieved just over half a metre of rain (+500mm) - so very glad we live on the side of a hill! So far for 2010 we have recorded 3663mm of rain - over 3 metres year to date. That's a lot of water!
While all the paddocks are wet, the drainage is excellent and constant so the horses are not actually standing in water. Except of course there is the generic mud-pit happening at every gateway of each paddock where the horse stand and meet each afternoon and wait, patiently for dinner.
Riding and training right now has pretty much come to a stand-still, but with the excellent training country and formed rolled roads its generally only a day and we can be out again after rain. Being Christmas figured the horses could have an extra couple of days break but will resume training soon. Keen to get back to riding...and Endurance!
