Just showers now - rained on and off most of the night. Has given the ground a good soaking. We should get out on a ride today.
Ok a bit more of a photo record. The house... looking from the horse paddocks up to the house - can clearly see I am not a gardener!! Best part about the property when we came to look at it - no garden.

The arena - amazing thing - never had one before. Certainly makes schooling more enjoyable!!

Horse paddling pool - the latest addition. With Max and Ayla going barefoot using the Strasser method, this sure beats going 1km down the road to the creek each night. Have only used it once - then the rain arrived and have not stopped since. Wish I had known earlier that a soak pit was a drought breaker!!

Horses seem to like it ok - certainly happy to stand in it. Lovely to have a few serious horse toys available. At the top of the picture you can see part of the round pen - another lovely tool to work horses with. Mostly don't have trouble catching these days - they learn pretty quick that they will end up in the pen from anywhere on the propery without me raising a sweat - they sure get a bit hot - then they figure it all out - love it!!
Ok the girls have given the word - rain radar says clear patch happening - we are off for a hack!!
