Boss

Today was interesting. I was meant to be having an early fast hack but the wee muscley dogs slave ( aka Boblet) let the new puppy into bed at 5am. So TW was on a go slow. And then she sped up so we were back on for the hack!

It was icy cold at the yard but the fast one turned me out in my rug. And then tried to stone Sebs owner to death. Or something. Thats a bit mean I thought. TW arrived and back in I came and got down to some serious haylage nomming while TW inhaled rescue remedy like it was going out of fashion.

TW said we could try the new old saddle again today. So we got dressed up, TW jumped on and we strolled up the track. TW has lost her glasses btw. So she didnt notice the fire behind the hedge. I did though! Took a few minutes to convince me to get past that bugger.

Met up with Jiggy and off we went, feeling good and had a nice natter. Had a few jumps at nobby eejits but all was good. On to the bridlepath, I had a bit of a cheeky trot. Oof. Not sure everything felt ok. Tried to have an official trot behind Jiggy and something felt wrong. Jiggys mum said I wasn't lame, TW thought it was the saddle. Bugger! Said hi to the deer and pootled a bit further. Stopped and looked at TW. Time to head home methinks. Jiggy went one way and we went the other. Now lets see how brave we are!

Back past the deer no bother. back down the steep bridlepath. TW got off and we walked together, I tried to push her off the cliff edge but she told me off. HA! At the bottom she popped on a wall and got back on. Fine by me. We crept along the road with TW wondering whether I was ok to be ridden.

At the main road she was going to get off and walk but we decided to have a little go and see how we got on. She was so nervous. It was ok though cos I looked after. Off I strolled past the butcher and the crazy house, past the parked cars and dodging drivers. TW sang some songs and I suggested we could always walk on the wrong side of the road on the path if she was that scared. She said not though. Rude!

Eventually we got back to the track to the yard so TW jumped off. It was the longest road work we had ever done on our own. She said she was so proud. So I spooked at the fire and nearly knocked her over. Oops! She still let me have a munch on some grass though before chucking me back in the field. Good job Im the boss.
