The tropical weather is one thing but the tropical insects are really interfering with my work and my riding. All of the horses are totally distracted by them. Jack and I took refuge in one of the inclosures but were still inundated. This morning Anna was given temporary relief by the trusted scarf and then enjoyed a really good brush for only the second time in her entire life. All of the Forest ponies are hanging out by the ponds or the water trough.
