Here comes the rain...

Well I woke this morning to the sound of pouring rain outside the window and honestly didn't want to get out of bed. However I dragged my sorry self out from under the duvet and headed to the yard where the field looked dramatically flooded and the horses were not as eager as normal to get out the stables! Plus I know as well as the next person this is not a one off day and Winter has well and truely arrived.

So to help you get through the dark, wet and cold months ahead (we love it really!) here are a few suggestions....

Keep warm this Winter with the Katrine Fleece. Perfect to wear under your waterproof coat out hacking- great fit with long sleeves and it's long in the body.
Orginally designed as an Apres Ski boot, the Snugg will keep your feet warm and dry at the yard or out walking to dog.

Use layers to keep warm - wear these knee high socks under your jodhpurs on those icy mornings



And dont let your hair get ruined...keep it covered from the rain with this Messy Mare Beanie...

And when you're all mucked out, you've finished getting drenched whilst hacking through the bridleways, plus you have a cold face from galloping in the wind...treat yourself to a luxury hot chocolate in your Messy Mare Mug. Bliss.

Hillside Shire Horse Sanctuary!

During our trip to Norfolk, we set out along the Coastal road to West Runton to visit Hillside Shire Horse Sanctuary. It was a beautiful drive and on arrival we were thrilled to find so many rescued animals at the centre. We were greeted by Shires, a Suffolk Punch and two cows in the field next to the car park! The shires were very friendly and came over to say hello, such gentle giants. We also soon fell in love with the miniture shetland ponies which looked even smaller than normal next to the heavy horses! The centre also has a number of other farm animals including pigs, lamas, donkies, rabbits and sheep. It's a great day for the kids but us adults enjoyed it too!!! Having read about so many of the cases, we were again unfortunately upset to see details of so many mistreated animals yet encouraged by the hard work at the Santuary. We had a particular soft spot fot the beautiful Bess who was dozing in her stable in the sunshine whilst waiting for the farrier to see to her. Here she is looking very clean!

In addition it was also great to meet and greet the RDA (Riding for The Disabled) ponies at the centre! If you are ever in the norfolk area I would fully recommened the centre as a great day out for all the family. Please do check their website for opening days and hours.
