Anky's been a bit uncomfortable this last few days. I've gone to get them in and she's been standing in a stretched-out way. She's eating, but she looks miserable. Having said that, they all look a bit miserable, we've shut them out of their favourite field, the grass is a bit sparse and it's raining (not sure that bothers them as much as it does me). So, is she really miserable or am I just thinking that because I worry about her so much? I don't know, but today I felt the need to change her routine a little. I so much want to see her enjoying life and a spark in her eyes. I've done nothing with her because she's too much of a worry for me health-wise, and also I thought I'd just leave her be and concentrate on the youngsters.
I took her for a walk up the lane, let her eat some grass on the verge and then into the school. I wanted to see her moving - she was ok, but a bit crabby behind - tightness, discomfort - I don't know. She's lost weight this winter and looks a bit poor, that's a worry too. I may do a little light lungeing with her several times a week to see if I can loosen her up a little - or I may not - I may change my mind by tomorrow.
Took Remy for a walk too, it seemed to be the day for it. He was looky but fine. Ten minutes in the school in-hand and then back down the lane home. Our neighbour stopped in his truck to chat to us for a few minutes and Rem was pretty relaxed about it all.
Anky's got to me today, I take it to heart, can't help it, I just want her to be happy.

Hi there Di!
I've been missing and come to find you worried..I'm sorry.
I don't know what's up with her but we had a few days warmer days and now it's freezing again...my mare is trying tom come into season...she has not been drinking much and looks tucked up.
I hate it when they are off...even just a little ~
Hope she enjoys a little work and the hand grazing always does make them happy!
Post Script...Liking the fancy, purple, misty background...really pretty!
