We've had three lovely autumn days, a good frost in the morning then a pleasant bright day. Yesterday we went down to the Cowper Day sale at Kikby Stephen, over 400 horses entered, mostly black and white cobs. We didn't watch many go round the (can't swing a cat in it, even without the addition of twenty people in it...) ring but the prices were much better than I expected. Nothing grabbed us so we headed off for cake. No doubt that winter is approaching fast though so we are starting to dig out rugs and pop them on, some rugs had to be carefully folded and returned to the pile as they were in use!! The broodmares and foals also have haylage, they were pretty chuffed about that, eating for a good hour then bouncing around the bottom of the field in a happy dance. I watched it from the banking on the stack yard, its much more cheering when you can't see the divots flying!
