What a weather! And this was what one called 'summer'? It was raining for almost a weak now and if it wasn't, then it was still cloudy and cool. On one hand, the meadows at Halfmoon-Stables were as green as they hadn't been in years, on the other hand some of the horses had to stay in their stalls and went to the indoor riding area for training. Not even the humans were motivated enough to take one of the horses, that were only used for pleasure riding, to have a nice trip through the forest. Of course they needed some fresh air, but none wanted to leave the stable, so they let them walk some rounds in the indoor area and brought them back to the meadow or the stall, depending on what they knew the horse enjoyed most.
Sam sighed and looked out of the window, as she sat in the office in the main building, working on some bookkeeping stuff and planning their next trips to upcoming events. „That's not summer,“, she said and pursed her lips in displeasure, pushing some folders to the other side of her writing desk.
„I know.“, Viktor answered and shrugged, he sat next to her on another desk and went through the working plan of the staff for the next weeks. „All of them were hoping for a nice summer and now it looks like autumn outside.“, he said and looked at the plan in his hands. „They are not as motivated as they should be, we might have to talk to the staff about that, we can't fall behind with the training, there are some competitions to come...“
Sam nodded and looked at her husband. She could understand, why the staff prefered to stay inside instead of walking around, being all wet after some minutes of training, maybe getting a cold... Training in the indoor riding area wasn't as funny as the training sessions outside, and the outside area was bigger too. Beside that, the expensive Thoroughbreds and Trakehner stayed inside when the weather was that bad, there were only a few horses, that did not care about such a weather, but after long workouts, they could not bring them out again to avoid illnesses.
„We need to find a way to continue the training of the young horses. Especially the racers, there's not too much time after all...“, Sam said and looked out of the window again. „You know, Redneck, Lyschko, Him, they seem to enjoy the weather. The Linderhofer don't have any problem with rain and some of the others run around in the rain too. We should bring the Throroughbreds and Trakehner to the meadows for some time, so they can run around and have some fun, we can take them back inside afterwards, but if the weather stays like that, we will need to give them some freetime outside...“
And there was still the hope, that the weather would get better during the next few days. As soon as the ground was dry, they could continue with their normal training, by now, it was just too slippery to take the young horses to the training fields.

I felt like drawing Redneck And because I listened to "Screamworks - Love in Theory and Practise" by HIM today, I felt like drawing Him too The weather... This is not summer. In Capetown, it was winter and we had 25°C and now, back in Germany, it's cold and rainy and everything >__>
Well, let's hope the weather gets better soon!
