In the spring we had a big oak tree come down at the yard, then also felled another one as it was rotting and decided to chip them in my corral. It was lovely to start with
But with rain and warm weather it soon rotted into nasty muck, fetlock deep in places
So today I had a digger in to sort it as I was fed up of slopping through it and jess hated going in there too
It doesn't look loads better but it is, all the stuff that was holding the water is now gone and we are back down to pretty solid sand, at least that drains quickly if we do have tons of rain I also put rubber mats just outside the stable so even if its bad they have a dry area its nice to be rid of it.
We had a very productive day, also fixed fences and replaced a rotten old gate post, and generally pottered about in the positively spring like weather
