-12C and counting

There has been no let up in the freezing temperatures here in Cereste, some days it does make it up above zero, but not every day, and not for long ! The horses seem to be managing well, I have never seen Gigi with such a thick coat.

Furry Gigi

And am I imagining it or are her sand cracks disappearing ?

Time will tell, I've seen this before, but never with so much distance between the coronary band and the sand crack. With the sub zero temperatures the ground is of course rock hard, and this has taken its toll on both of our horses feet, and Gigi is a little tender footed. Flurry's hinds were protected with PHW wraps, but one of these has worn through at the sole and is now sitting on his hoof like a donut !

Worn thru PHW
It'll need some powerful cutters to remove it ! But it is still on the hoof and not pressing into the coronet.

So with all the bad weather and no riding to be had, we console ourselves with food, roast quail with a honey sauce, Carmargue red rice, and the first of the broad beans from North Africa via LeClerc in Apt ! Recipe in our Recipe section.

  1. Wow, it's cold over there!

    Glad the horses are coping well and you have some yummy food to console yourselves with! That quail looks delicious!

    We were so disappointed that the match was cancelled last night but it was madness to be trying to play at 9pm on such a cold night in the first place!

    Murray's French cousin is visiting with us for the weekend - we had great fun ribbing her over it!

    take care in the that cold weather,
    Clive & Murray

    1. Great disappointment here too, we only put the TV on just after nine (French time!) as we had non Rugby guests for dinner, to be met by NO RUGBY.
