Brave bot, scary tractor

I enjoyed my night in the stable. Frankie taught me a good trick, throwing the water bucket around. It made my bed soggy though. Oops. It was nice to have a rest but my bed ended up as wet as the soggy field. Oh dear! We all had a little graze in the school which was nice, then after brekky I got tacked up and off we set. I was excited as we went towards the main road but we headed up the hilly road! I've never been that way before. TW sang to me which was nice and we marched along together in the sunshine. It was lovely. The cars were being very good and giving us lots of room. TW said it was the double hi viz that helps. Anyway all went well until some sneaky cows on the other side of the road gave me a shock. The next thing there was a HUGE monster coming towards us. OMG. It was a tractor thing with a tank and all scary bits. As soon as TW saw it she took a big breathe as she remembered some scary stories about tractors that roskos mummy had told her. I marched up to it , span round and cantered down the hill. Well I started too but TW lady asked me to stop. So I did. We went back. I froze . Skipped about a bit. It was really terrifying. The farmer man pulled grumpy faces at TW. She pulled sad faces back and asked him to turn off the engine. Eventually he got bored of shaking his head and jumped out and said he'd lead me past it. So he did. I thought about spooking at the motorbike behind the tractor thing but TW said tha would be pushing me luck. Off we went, turned onto a stony track, I didn't like it as I could see more tractor things in the distance. TW said I'd got to be a good boy so off we went again. Down and round the track, past the house , by the space centre . There was lots of scary stuff there but TW let me stand and look at things until I got bored and then we marched past. On the grassy bridlepath we had a wee trot but tbh I was shattered. I was so pleased when I got back in my stable and finished my breakfast. Frank and Brack went out to the field first and then TW and the little dog had some tea and biscuits. TW sprayed me with fly stuff and purple spray on. Y ear . GAH! Hate it. When I got to the field I made sure I had a lovely roll , knocked the scabs off my ear then marched over to TW to show her. She just laughed. I did a bit of skidding about to get to the hay and the settled down with my buds to munch. Phew. Busy day.
