TW lady was poorly today so had some time to spend with us. She gave Frank and Brack some timmy hay and then took me to the yard. It took quite a while to get me out of the field as I was scared by the big blue monsters. TW told me a secret, ITS HAY!! All of a sudden I wasn't scared any more!
Up at the yard she shut the gate and let me wander around on my own. It was nice. I ate some grass and some weeds and then went to my stable for some hay. Lovely! Then I got tacked up and off we went. TW had a grumble as I tried to shoot off down the drive as soon as she was on board. She needed to do my girth up she said. Sorry!!
When we finally got onto the drive the nasty dog barked and made me jump. TW said a very bad word and someone tapped on the window. I hope they weren't tapping at us? I don't like naughty dogs and it made me scared for the next five minutes or so. That wasn't nice.
We just went down the bridlepath again and this time did right at the bench. We had a superlong trot and then another super trot. TW was tired. I wasn't. We went through the hedge and had another trot. I think cantering is nice, TW agreed so we had a lovely long canter too, her legs were tired and she was a bumpy sack of irish spuds. Its fine though, she sorted it out and I'm strong. We had another canter and then we both had a rest. TW said trotting is important if we are going to do some more of those nice pleasure rides. That will be good. I nodded and said cantering is important for when we go HUNTING!!! She just puffed and said I was half tank , half machine. I think it was a compliment.
Back at the yard I had some hay and TW talked to the grumpy farrier man about hunting. He also made a comment about Frankie pulling a gypsy cart, TW said a bad word to him. Back in the field we had lots of grass and hay and I enjoyed bossing Brack about. Its hard to jump out of Franks way in the slippery mud though.
Ive cut my leg btw.
