New chum

Today was a lovely day, cold but sunny. I wouldn't have minded a day in the field but TW had other ideas. I had some hay and then it was on with franks fleece and onto the box. It's been a long time! We were both a bit nervous I think.

Off we went  and an hour later we pulled up somewhere new. It was a lovely house and some lovely stables with a nice lady who has treats! For a little minute I worried that TW was going to leave me there but then a cob called drum appeared. Aha, hacking time.

Now I thought that as a baby and as a guest, my chum Drum would lead the way but he had other ideas. So off I went with drum following. Sometimes it was scary and I had to stop. We saw loads of horses and ponies , wierd men, dogs and runners and rubbish. And of course a stinky bench. We went on a road and saw a flag and some wreaths of poppies. Then we went into some woods. It was lovely and peaceful and drum went back in the lead.

All of a sudden we landed almost on top of a shoot. Eek. We turned round and set back the way we came. Let me tell you there was an awful lot of shooting!! Round we went, back over the road, down a lane to see more horses and then eventually back at drums house. Phew. I was tired. It's rather hilly round there. TW had a quick cuppa and then off we went in the box bak home , I ate some hay and then it was pink ruggle on and into the field. Shattered.

Looking forward to seeing my chum drum again.
