All hail ( hairy) Mary

Today was a very exciting day. I had visitors. I waited patiently all morning, mooching between our three stables and then stood waiting expectantly in the yard. Then, we heard the sound of hooflets on the drive. They'd arrived!!! TW was pleased to see the humans too.

My special visitors were Hairy Mary and Storm her big adopted brother. Storm was a last minute replacement for my best bud Rosko who's having a break. Storm was a good enough replacement. Hairy Mary and Storm are my biggest buds yet, HUGE even! Not ponies! Off we set through the village, I was front for a little while but HM soon overtook. Girls!!

Down the bridlepath, waved at Zoe and her human and then on to the village. The big dudes stopped to coo over Molly munchkin , I was not impressed. Over the busy road and then trotty past the petrol station. My that Mary is brave! I was impressed. TW was very impressed by HMs rider , she would love to do what sue does! Humans are funny creatures.

Along the road we marched , right past the donkeys and nice pony who shouted help, up the hill where it got windy and then into the woods! They were lovely. The humans liked the blue bells. I've seen lots of bluebells lately so frankly wasnt so fussed. Wierdos. Winding through the woods we went, had some nice trotties and then at the end we turned round and came back with me in the lead. Lovely! Storm boy pulls some funny faces at me so when we were baxk on the road I ran past him and made TW kick his butt!! Hahahahah!!

Before we knew it we were back at the yard,  7 miles of fun with my new big buds. Loved it! Their box is weird though, it looks funny. I hope I can ride with the big buds again, they're very well behaved and march fast which I like. HMs Sue has another bud too, his name is Solly. TW says he would get on well with Bracky.
