I’m very awkward in my approach to the weather- when it’s wet and cold, I moan, and when it’s sunny and hot, I moan too. There’s a window of a few days when I say that the weather is truly lovely…so, why is the sun a reason to moan?
I was very into the sun when it first appeared after its winter holiday but, since that time, the ground has become rather solid and as we’re on clay, it’s cracked too. When I ride in this heat, I seem to let the horses get away with, well, I wouldn’t say murder, but I feel bad pushing them when they are sweating as much as I am! The ground’s an issue for faster work and jumping because of my concussion based concerns, and I burn, like bacon, when the sun appears and I am unprepared!
I also have a thought that keeps whizzing around my head about the hay harvest for 2011- what’s it going to be like if this weather continues? Will hay cost more than this year? Will it be as difficult to get hold of?
I’m not sure of anyone’s capable of predicting hay harvest and the weather. Well, OK, forecasters have a good go with the latter- but I’m sure you know what I mean. What are your thoughts- when do I need to learn how to raindance?
