Pleasure ride

Dear me I'm tired today. It was an exciting day indeed. TW was up early which was nice. Before long we were off in the box with ZM , it seemed like we were travelling for ages. We finally arrived at a farm type place I think. There were other horses about, it was exciting. I thought we might be going hunting. There were no hounds though. That's a shame. We waited around a it and them a nice mare called Carla arrived and off we went. It was lovely, apart from the stoney bits. We did 9 whole miles!!! It felt like more I think. We had sme lovely canters and saw all kinds of wierd and wonderful things. Eventually we got back to the farm, we were so happy Carla and I both shouted out. Then it was back on the box for a snooze and some hay while TW drove us home. I'll sleep well tonight I think.

Favourite

I think I might be TWs favourite today. Bracken says I'm to be careful or frank will bite my bum. I don't think he minds really though? We have a new routine at the moment which confuses me. I've had so many changes. In the mornings we have hay and feed and he fence gets moved out and turned on. A tea time the fence goes off and we get some long grass. It was really hot again today and the flies were even worse. I got picked to go for a little hack with Zoe which was nice and I let TW pick my tootsies out with less fuss today. She spent some time messing mith my feet and thinking about my legs today. She said she thought I was a bit stiff. I think my feet are just a bit sore and it was too hot. Frankie says if I play it right I can pretend I have something called EPSM , he says it's quite useful. I'm not sure what he means.

Spooky Tuesday

The nice worrier lady came up early again today. She was a bit mean though I think. She gave us ha which was nice although the boys say this hay is no where near as nice as timmy hay whatever that is. She then proceeded to move lots of fence posts to take away the grass. And then she turned on a fresh battery. That's just mean. We spent the day relaxing but there was certainly less food than normal. TW came back a tea tme. I was pleased to see her. She checked frank over and then decided to take me in. That was nice. I was pleased. A bad man had parked a car and trailer near my field, he was angry at TW. I don't know why, it was scary. We went to the staBle and then had a battle to pick my feet out. Oh dear. That wasn't nice. TW said some bad words but I think it was mostly because of the angry man. Today I was a bit nervous , from the nasty man and his trailer and grumpy TW. I was very good when she tacked me up and off we went. My feet were abit sore today I think. Down the little bridlepath. It was nice. I did some shootings ting but TW just laughed, she was very relaxed today. We had a few little trots but I wasn't so fussed, I had to kee my eyes open for scary things. We went nearly all the way along and then behind the hedge. Beejeezus!!! Sorry for the bad language! There were two big tractor things. I stood. I stared. I wiggled abit and wondered if I could spin and run. TW said no and just sat there. Eventually I trundled past with one eye on the tractors and one leg ready to run. After the tractors we had a small canter and then we went back up towns the village. Frank and Brack were watching us from their hill by the water. I managed a big spook at a bird and then TW banged her head on a tree and spooked at that too. Then at something else. My poor legs were going everywhere! Then we walked together back to the stables , I had a quick munch of hay and then back to the field for some long grass. The angry man wasn't there this time. I was glad.

Munching Monday

Yesterday was a quiet day I think. So was today. Today it got HOT too. Wierd! TW came up early this morning. It's nice to see her. She seems interested mostly in frankie again today. I'm not sure why. He seems fine to me. Brack said to get used to it and she's dun-ist and prefers the gypos . I don't understand him most of the time. I gave TW a shoulder barge t make sure she didn't forget me. She came back at tea time. How lovely. But she wanted frankie again. While she was at the gate I surprised her by trotting at the gap very quickly. Bracken taught me that one. She was going to take me in to but couldn't reach my head collar. So she left me. I shouted . When they came back I went to her for a kiss but wouldn't have a cuddle. I was a bit miffed with her. She gave us some grass though which was nice.

Quiet day , poorly frank

Today was a mostly simple day I think. Which was nice. TW came to the field, I went for a hug and then wondered off when I realised she wanted to catch me. She caught me anyway. Bracken laughed. The weather was rubbish and frankie was feeling poorly which was a shame. TW decided to take us all in to the stables, all together. That was interesting. Bracken wanted to kick me, I think. He's a grump. We grazed a bit In the school then went to our beds for a rest and some hay. TW spent lots of me with frank as she was worried bout him. After a while we went back to the field and the track was open all the wa rond the field! Wow! We spent the rest of the day eating. I like eating.

Saturday fast day

Errm evening peoples. Today was mostly a nice day I think. TW lady was up early, I was pleased to see her again so went wondering over to her. Brack and frank didn't though. I only wanted a hug but she wanted to catch me. O dear. I sort of wandered away when I realised that but she followed me so I gave up. Bracken rolled his eyes in disgust at me I think. He's a bit rude I find. There were all kinds of scary things in the hedge today and I didn't want to leave he safety of my friends. TW lady was very nice but said I had to go with her. Oh dear. I tried to convince her but she said she's the boss. That confused me I think because that's not what frank and Brack say. I did a few spooks and stopped a few times but eventually I made my way to the yard. Normally when we get to the yard I get into my bed but today TW tied me up by Bracks stable. It was fine. She gave me a brush which was nice and then picked my feet out . I'm not so keen on that. I think I find it hard to get my balance. She says we need to practise more. She started to tack me up, I didn't like the bridle going on again, the man the other day said it was because I didn't want to be ridden. That's not true. I think maybe it's because I'm a baby and my teeth are coming through? Anyway, today I had franks bridle on and that felt nicer I think. Off we set, TW said I felt a bit lively today, I shouted lots so she talked to me which is nice , it helps me feel a bit more relaxed I think. We went down the bridlepath, she had to tell me to slow down a few times. Oops. Zoe and I shouted to each other which was fun. At the end I had a little spook at the bench but TW helped me stay calm. Today we turned right and kept on going. That was nice. There was a lady with a whistle in front of us with two dog things. I relaxed a lot more and started to try and grab some weeds, that's not allowed apparently. After a while we turned round and I was allowed to do some trotting!!! That was lovely, I didn't need a kick or anything. TW lady was pleased. By the bench we went behind a hedge and did some more trotting and then we had a canter! That was lovely. I didn't want to stop but TW said it was best not to do to much yet. Trough the hedge we went then back to the yard, I got into my bed and had some lovely hay and grub and played with my lickit. I'm not really sure what it's for but the more I rub my lips on it the more I think I like it. TW lady sat with me in the stable for s bit which was nice and then I had a snooze. Later on I went back to the field for some grass. I think it was a nice day.

Rain and rest

Today was a quiet day I think. The rain keeps coming down . I thought it was meant to be the summer? I'm sure the weather wasn't like this back in Ireland? TW came up in the morning with a HUGE bag of hay for us. I went over to have a munch, I was a bit hungry. But the wind was blowing and I felt a bit scared I think so eventually I went over to the others who were eating grass. I think I would have liked a day in bed today, maybe I could do that to tomorrow? There is a good thing about the rain though, the flies aren't so annoying. We only saw TW once today. That was a bit sad, I hope she comes back. Brack says she's like a bad penny , always turning up. I'm not really sure what tha means though. Frank just laughed and said Brack can talk. Well of course he can or how would we chat to each other? They do confuse me sometimes.

Lesson day.....

Today was a strange day I think. Strange but nice. TW came to the field early and don't look like she was going to that work place. It was raining and horrid so I made the decision to be brave and marched past frank and Brack to see her. Phew! It was ok they didn't care. Into the stables I went to get dry. I think it's nice in the stable. There's always hay and straw. I didn't get to stay in there too long though. TW put a lovely new purple head collar on me and took me round to a Horsebox. In the Horsebox there was a huge great net of hay! Wowee!! On I got and started munching. Off we went in the box , I was a bust scared I think . I thought maybe I was moving house again. But it was ok. We went somewhere called a riding school. It was fun! There were ponies and cows and geese and people who admired me. TW tacked me up with help from Zoe's mum and we went into a nice arena thing. A nice man stood in the middle and helped TW ride me better. It was very interesting I think. ZM took photos, I like having my photo taken. After a bit I got untacked and back on the box for more hay. Off home we went,that was a relief! Then into my stable for sme nay and food and a lovely snooze. What a nice day.

Chewyday

Hey again, just me Tom again. Thanks errrr for popping by again. Today was a bit of an errrrr funny day or something I think. TW lady didn't appear this morning and that worried me a bit. She normally comes up every morning I think? The boys laughed and said she was probably just being lazy or something. They tease me quite a bit I think. Another lady popped by to see us though which was nice , she have us some hay and got frankie from the middle of the field where he wasn't meant to be. That was a bit funny I think, Brack cackled his head off when the lady had gone. It was a nice sunny day again which is good but the flies were even worse today. Frank said I need to grow my hair and that will help. But I wouldn't be a punk then would I? Hmmmmm. TW appeared at tea time , we all so happy to see her. Frank and Brack trotted round the track but I cantered round with a big smile on my face! We all had cuddles and a bowl of food and then she gave us some grass. I'm glad she came back . Frank said I have attachment issues or something and said that in his opinion TW is always there even when you don't want her to be. I'm not sure what he meant by that though?

Monday

Hey everyone Me again, frank said I could borrow his iPad wotsit again , he even le me go first today :) mmmmmm I'm not really sure what to write but frank says it gets easier so I'll try my best. I always try my best I think. It was a sunny day today which is nice although I ermmm don't really like the fly things that come out in the nice weather. Bracky says you can get some sprey and special rugs and things errrr but I don't think I really need them....but I'm not really sure? I'll just follow what they do I think. Is that right do you think? The worrier lady came up early today. She was dressed funny. Frank says she goes to someplace called work to earn money to pay for us errrrrr I don't really understand what that means but it must be true cos frank is very clever and has known the worrier lady for longer than Brack and me. She put out some slices of hay and gave us a quick cuddle and checked the fencing. It's nice to see her. The boys tell me that she has a little routine but I'm not too sure what it is yet? Errrr I find it a bit confusing really cos I've moved about a bit recently. It's ok though, I don't mind. I think it would be nice t stay here for a while it seems nice. I think. Mostly today I did some eating and sleeping and rolling. And tried to keep out of the way of franks teeth. They can be sharp! Him and bracken bite each other all the time but they never bleed. That's wierd. Is baby skin more sensitive do you think? TW lady came back in the evening, it was quite late I reckon. We were all stood snoozing in the sunshine. She gave us a bowl of food each and some grass and hay. Is that wierd? I'm not really sure why we get some many options of food here? I don't think all the other horses I've known get so much choice, I think maybe we re very lucky but frank says TW lady is just very particular about who we eat. Bracky said some rude words about her and said maybe she should worry about her own diet, I don't think that's very nice , is it? I think she seems nice, she gave me lots of cuddles tonight, I would like to spend more time with her but I have to stick with the boys or Bracky takes the Mickey out of me and frank gets grumpy. She prodded me a bit today, wibled my Mohican and spent time touching my feet.....it was wierd. She was obsessed with my white foot. Frank rolled his eyes and said thas why we call her the worrier. Best go now, frank wants to write his blog. Bracky doesn't have one , he says it wouldn't get past the censors or something because he would swear all the time. That's a bit rude I think. Night night x

Ellloooooo

Evening all, Errrrrrrr. Ello. I'm. Errrrr tommy. Mr Squire. Bug Punk Thug. Errrrrrr. I'm a bit ere sleepy , I'm only a baby you see. Hmmmm,m.....what was I saying? Oh yeah, I'm Tom. I'm mostly Irish. I came over the sea a couple of weeks ago and now I live in the Easty Miderlands. Or something. It's nice I think. I've got some horsey friends, sorry pony pals. Lots of people seem to like me. There's a little black dog who hangs around a lot. I think. Maybe Ive dreamt them . I sleep a lot. I think. So anyway. Errrrr. Not really sure what to write really? Today I have mostly been eating grass. Amd sleeping. I went for a walk over the busy main road and along the bridlepath with the person I see most. Frank calls her the worrier. I'm not so sure about that. He way she was shouting at bracken today I think I'd call her something else. But that would be rude...... The walk was nice. Saw some horses. Ate some grass. Ate some weeds. Had a hug from a strange running man. Came back and went to sleep. I liked it. Had a lovely kip. I like sleeping, did I mention that already? Soooo......erm . That's me. Tom. Maybe we can chat again sometime? Or something. Freaks going to help me make this story thing all snazzy. I think. Night night.
