Well I thought I would be starting my endurance season off with a nice 18km around Woburn. Something I was actually super excited for after seeing the wonderful tracks on Bella Fricker’s stories. But alas the ice and snow meant it wasn’t safe for the ride to go ahead. It also meant that I didn’t really have any at home alternatives either because I couldn’t get the lorry off the lane from the yard, vehicles had been getting stranded in both directions all week, and although I had a moment of madness where I considered hand gritting a whole mile, I decided against it.
The school was also frozen solid but was actually flat with a soft layer of snow still on top so I decided to do some groundwork and raised poles instead. I really wanted to give Estrid a bath, but decided it was a bit cruel in sub zero temperatures so I settled on giving her a good groom, massage and stretch.
I have only recently managed to convince her to take food from my hand so baited stretches have been impossible so this was an ideal opportunity to start her stretching training.
