Fun in the sun

TW was a wee bit poorly today so decided to work from home. When she felt a bit better she arrived at the yard and said for a great me and frank could come and have a munch in our beds and get our tootsies have a dry. Lovely plan. Only frank decided that he wanted to go for a hack too. So he did. And then I decided I wanted one too. So I got one too.

As soon as TW got on I was marching through the village like a pro. It was a bit soggy and nasty going down the bridlepath but we survived. We just went right at the bench for a short one and then did loads and loads of trotting. TW said I needed to be very brave and learn how to look after myself in the slippy mud so she gave me a loser rein and we bowled along with me concentrating really hard. It was tiring. I heard a noise and TW heard it too but we couldn't work out where it was coming from. It was three dogs off their leads with two ladies. One was the big huge wolfhound. He started coming from behind the hedge and his owner shouted to warn us. S we turned round to face him and he ran off. It's only a dog I don't see what the fuss is about?

Off we went and eventually went behind the hedge where it was really soggy but with some nice bits.  So we practised cantering and trotting very carefully and very slowly even on bits that we weren't sure about. It was great fun. TW laughed and said that I obviously like going fast and that we can't canter every time we go out. As a compromise we did more more cantering but very collected and on the right leg . TW practised moving me about while we were slowly cantering too.

At the bench TW wanted to go in the other field and donwhatbher and frank had done but there was a  spy with a dog so we just trotted and slowly cantered up past Zoe's field on the bridlepath. At the end of the bridlepath the man from the house made me jump out of my skin!!! Phew! It made me wary through the village and TW said I looked like a banana!!

When I was back in bed me and frank had a lovely big bowl of food each then I got my blue mw rug on and went back to the field. Big drink of water and then it was time to trot off and wrestle Brack! Lovely!
