Chatsworth Off and It Rains More

It has rained and rained, Castlemorton Common is now the soggy boggy common that we used to ride on when we were young children. I can't remember when it was as wet as this in recent years. The ponds are full to the brim and are great fun for water schooling and washing the horses legs off, although my tack needs oiling after getting so wet so often.

Icon was due to run at Chatsworth advanced on Sunday and that is off as is almost every other event in the country. BE have compared it to foot and mouth year 2001. Its not as bad as that, at least we can hack out and go to show jumping and dressage competitions. The only trouble is not knowing, I keep getting horses trained and in top gear to do an event and then its off. But its worse for those who have spent 12 months organising these events. So disappointing for them.
