Flooded!

The photograph shows our gallops on Friday morning following a night of torrential rain. It is the first time the gallops have been under water. The photo shows about a furlong where the water has run off the field and hasn't been able to drain away. Fortunately the Gallup was okay on Saturday morning apart from a couple of soft patches which meant it was unsafe to use. It is a very frustrating period with all of the rain but safety is our prime concern and hopefully we will be back to normal next week. With the gallop out of action we have been using the arena to exercise the horses and although it is an Olympic size (60m x40m) we can only trot the horses.
