Violated

Today was a funny one!

A lady came to see me and Frank. I went first. She examined me with a camera thing that notices heat. She said I was looking good but that there was possibly an old injury to my stifle as TW suspected. So I had some lovely laser treatment and massages. I was so relaxed that I let everything dangle loose. Quick as lightning the lady grabbed by bits and popped out a few beans!! Omfg! Te lady and TW thought it was hilarious. I was mortified. My bits are never coming out again.

The lady said that I'm probably having some growing pains too and showed TW some ear massages to do. That was nice. I do enjoy my treatments but this lady was a funny one! I think we will be starting work again soon. Which will be nice.

Oh

I got left in the field today even though I volunteered to come in. Boooooo.

Bum high

TW thinks I'm bum high again so I had a day off. We all had some time in our beds nomming and frank had a plod. Bracky and Frank were very naughty baxk at the field. Poor TW.

Good boy

I was having a lovely sunny snooze in the field this morning when TW arrived. Lying down, snoring. TW tootled over and sat down and cuddled me while I snoozed. It was lovely. Eventually she got up and said her and frank were going in and I could come if I wanted to . So I did. Brack had to stay behind again as Oliver was coming to borrow his room.

At the yard we settled down with our hay while TW popped to the shop. Then she picked out my feet and tacked me up. My saddle and the sheepskin numnah. On she got. Off we went. No arguing. TW was pleased. She said lovely things all the way round the village to me. It made me happy. TW thought I was moving a little bit sticky but she thinks that might be because I'm feeling shy again as we havnt done much solo stuff recently.

Back at the yard and frank went off with Zoe and Olver. I snoozed. It was nice. I've been very good today.

Shout n growl

TW came up this evening. It was lovely to see her. I started marching over followed by frank and in we went leaving bee behind.

At the yard ZM and RM were around. TW tied me up and whispered that she really really wanted me to be a good boy today. Tacked me up in franks saddle and on she hopped. As soon as she said go I baxked up. OMG she opened her mouth and the most awful noise came out. ZM was laughing and said something about the exorcist? I stopped in my tracks, pricked my ears up and marched out of the yard. As soon as we were on the drive TW was saying all sorts of lovely things to me which was nice we just walked a few metres to the lamppost and she hopped off and we came baxk. And I got a bowl of grass soup. Yum.

She says we will do little and often for a while to see how we get on.

Teenage tantrum

TW was up early today. After a few days of drifting she was back on a mission. All good. Me and frank went in.

I got tacked up first, stood nicely like a good boy. Then decided I didn't want to leave the yard on my own. TW panicked. I did some nice reversing. All over the place. TW didnt want to smack me because she was scared of what I'd do. Ha! ZM stood and watched. I backed up near the stables, near a car and near the muck heap. Ad grabbed a mouthful of tree for good measure. Then TW opened her mouth and out came the most awful bellowing. OMFG. Off I went.

We went through the village, had a wierd moment on the bridlepath when I shook my leg about ( left hind) but carried on. Down to the bench then behind the hedge and back. Teeny trot to check for lameness. All seemed ok. At the top TW wanted me to stand still. I fidgeted. She shouted. I stopped. She got off.

Oh and did I tell you she sang all the way today? Something about Mr Bot you'll be in a pot? Rude! TW thinks I'm probably just having a little teenage moment but we will stick to short walks until the thermal imaging lady comes she reckons. I did some lovely trotting and cantering in the field for her later on.

Nip

TW overslept this morning so she didnt appear til tea time. Lots of grub, a big drink, some posing and then I decided I wanted some cuddles. It was lovely. Then I nipped her nip. Oops. She ran away laughing that I was naughty!

Freedom

This morning I didnt get time to graze but had extra grass soup. Nom.

This evening I had more grass soup with bute number 7. Then it was time to go back!

I stopped for a quick graze by the gate and then off I went. Marching super fast. TW struggled to keep up. Nostrils flaring keeping moving. By the tree I did a lovely piaffe. TW liked that. Ten we stormed to the field and in I went.

Kisses for the lads and then competition time. Off we flew, galloping, bucking, twisting, turning. TW was half horrified and half in awe. Touch wood my bad leg was ok when she left.

Grumps, walks and Iggs

Still on box rest. Had a graze in the school this morning and again this evening. Went for a tiny in hand walk this morning. Played with Iggy pup. TW said I'm contrary because I'm grumpy and keen to get out of my stable and then stand ready to come in when I want a drink or grub.

Annoying

It's annoying that I'm still on box rest.

It's even more annoying that Iggy kept harassing me.

It's very annoying that when I tried to make a break for freedom TW had already shut the gate. Gah!

I enjoyed all my grub though.

Visitors

On day two of box rest frank and Brack came to visit. Frank bit me which was rude. We grazed in the school and I had a nice groom. In the day time I was in Bracks stable then TW came up after work for a quick graze in the school then into my bed. Nom. Grass soup.

Day 1

TW arrived super early this morning. 5.30am. I was ready for her.

I had a graze in the school and a little groom then she sorted the rooms out and went to see frank and Brack. Then she came back and I went into Bracks bedroom for the day to rest my legs. Lots of people came to check me which was nice.

Later in TW came baxk and I went baxk to the school for a graze and a roll and a cuddle from TW. She sorted out the rooms again and I went back into my room. She had made grass soup for me. Nom. I slurped it good. And off she went.

Bed rest

TW came up early because she was worried. So I did some trotting for her and got an apple reward. So then I did some flat out galloping for her. It felt awesome. She looked confused.

Later in she came back and took me in, did my tootsies and let me graze in the school. A vet arrived with a student. Hmmmm. TW told him about my poorly bits. The big vet man poked and prodded me and said I didn't seem sore. Then TW had to trot me up and down. They said I was sound. TW was more confused.

Next, we went into the paddock and lunged. Vet said walk first, I couldn't be arsed so just trotted. The vet said I lunged nicely. I trotted on both reins. The vet said very occasionally I did a tiny lame looking step on both reins but he thought it was because of the lumpy ground and TWs lunging. She was pooped.

Then it was Flexion tests. Yuck. TW was scared. The student tried to do the flexing but he was crap. TW was worried I was sore but the vet knew I was being cheeky. So he did the last one, I stood like a statue. TW sniggered. The student went red. They said I was sound and the vet gave me an apple. He wondered if I was a highland cross as he says my head is like a highland. That's good, TW loves highland ponies. He says my body is like a connie. Lol.

The big vet says I should have a week in bed with some pain killers just in case something has been tweaked. He said I have a good back but can work on my schooling now I'm getting older. He says better muscles will help. TW said boring. Naughty TW!

I went back in the school and TW went food shopping. She made my bed and put me grub and treats. Then I got tucked up and off she went. All alone. Hmmm. Hope my buds are ok.

Lame

Today I'm properly lame. TW is upset. I'm grumpy and sore. I'm swollen above my hock. Brackys getting on my nerves. Franks going to have all my fun. I hope it's nothing serious.

Wet

It's been wet today. We've eaten all the hay.. When TW came up after work she fed us and opened up the whole field as she didnt want us wrecking the top of the field. I think she also wanted to see how I was moving. So I did a lovely trot down the field for her. She's been worrying all day. Braxky says I might get a good rest out of it. Maybe she will ride him for a bit....

Not happy nappy

We all came in together today which was nice. Frank went out first, then I wanted a go. TW brushed me, did my tootsies and tacked me up all nice. On she popped. All good. Asked me to walk. Nope. I backed up, turned round, backed up. We wiggled and wobbled. I got myself onto the grass for a munch. TW wasnt happy . Neither was I. I swished my tail.

TW jumped off, moved the saddle back a bit and tried again. Same thing. TW jumped off again and we walked through the village and down the bridlepath. SHe clambered on at the gate , I tried to go home, she said no so we had a wee walk down to the bench. Behind the hedge I wanted to trot so she let me. But something's not right still. We tried again a few times. TW thinks the right hind leg is still a bit dodgy but shes not sure why. She jumped off and we grazed our way bak to the stable.

Back at the yard TW removed my tack and took me in the nice paddock for a little lunge. She thinks I was moving nicely but on the right rein I looked a little bit grumpy. She gave my leg a rub then we all had some grub and pootled baxk to the field. TWs folks came to visit too. I scared her Dad by following him about. It was funny. I hope TW gets me fixed soon, she thinks its just poorly muscles I think she's probbaly right. It's a shame.

Check up

TW is slightly on strike at the moment and I'm still having a little rest. So today we all came in and saw mr Tom the toothy man. He loves me. I didnt need anything doing which was nice. I did some polo stretches with TW and had a brush. Not bad.
