We've been chilling a lot again recently. It's been nice. But a bit boring. On the plus side the weather has started to get sunnier. It was baltic today but nice and bright.
After she mucked out today TW sat in the field and enjoyed the sunshine. I marched across the field towards her. That made her smile. So I bit her leg. She wasn't so keen on that. Wierdo. I had some scratches and cuddles and TW bossed me about a bit. Then Jez wanted to join in so I ran her off and bit her too. TW didn't like that.
After some more chilling TW and Jez had a play on the track and pootled about bareback. Me and Bee shouted and tried to put Jez off but she ignored us. Then it was my turn. TW did some brushing, I tried to bite her but she got mardy. Then my tack was on. And Ruth appeared. Ewwww lesson time!
I worked hard today. I need to be less wibbly wobbly and TW has to make sure she helps me. We practiced up and down and round the drive, started and stopping. Then we did a bit on the ground. I'm such a good boy. TW meh she's not so good but hopefully she will get better.
We had a lovely say sunbathing and then TW shouted us for bed and off we cantered into the barn. Lovely hay.

cu next tuesday
yesterday was a rest day.
Today was a business day - trimmer and physio on an icy cold but sunny day.
jez went first with Trimmer Debs. She was being a bit of a nelly and stamped on TD's tootsie and made her say a big feck word. TW said she preferred the C word (don't we know it!). Disgraceful!
Then it was my turn so I decided to be a super good boy and show Jez how it was done. TD was really impressed but TW wasn't that focused. So I chewed her coat and nudged her a bit and then to make a point I kicked her. In the C word. She was shocked. TD was in stitches. I remained nonchalant.
In the afternoon she came back and had a poddle on Jez. She was a very good girl and TW was pleased. I needed a big groom but the physio lady came early so we both had our treatments. It was very nice. I need to build up my quads and Jez needs her toofy-pegs filing. TW then tried to get us in the barn and we fecked about quite alot again. Cu next tuesday!

Out
Today is Sunday. TW was up surprisingly early, chucked us out and sorted the barn. Then fed us a huge bowl of grub. Nom. She kept muttering something about going out.
Anyhoo, after grub I had some grooming. She wouldn't let me bite her back though. Jez and bee stood the other side of the fence grooming too. Total groomathon. Then I was allowed to mooch about and graze. Awesome.
Down the drive I noticed all of my tack was in the carpark. Wierd. Next thing a trailer appeared and me and the Ginge got on and off we went! Who'd have thought it? TW was impressed with my loading. Not so much with me and the Ninge nipping each other before we set off. pah!!
When we got off it was Shipley Park. Nice. Nibble of grass and hay and tack on. Off we went. Me, the ginge and a big ginge called Charlie. Marching on it was lovely.
We passed walkers and dog runners, traffic and houses, fricking scary ponies and even PIGS! I really hated the shitland. We were following blue arrows, I tried to make sure I stayed at the front as much as I could and TW thought I was very brave. I had to walk and trot off on my own at one point while the Gingers held back so they could have a big canter. And then later on I turned left while the boys turned right to do the long route. I shouted a bit but marched along nicely while TW sang to me. Awful. Towards the end TW got off cos she knew I didn't fancy walking past the zip wire. it was nice to cool off.
back at the trailer I nommed some grass and chatted to some old friends then it was back to the field. My dudes had missed me. It was such a lovely sunny day with some great boys. Then it got cold and started snowing so TW missed her nap and came and put us in he barn. Excellent.

brave
TW was shattered when she arrived at the yard this morning. Shattered and freezing. She's very fat you see so is trying to exercise more in the mornings. I don't think it's going so well...
Anyhoo, we went out in the field and found the sunshine. Then we had some grub. Lovely. Bracky and jez found some new sunshine and TW said we were off out. Excellent. Fuzy passed us but W said we didn't have time to ride with him today.
Tack on and treats in pocket and off we went. TW said we would walk to the top of the drive and take it from there. But there were some scary black bin bags on the drive. They took some getting past I can tell you. I did a wee bit of running about but we got there eventually. Up to the op of the drive and I felt brave and so did TW. So we turned left and I stomped up the road. TW was so pleased.
As we got nearer the turn off TW could see there was a van that wasn't there before. she tensed a bit. And looked behind her. And saw the bleddy huge wagon that was there. The wagon man stopped when TW waved at him and waited til we turned off the road and the nice council men turned off their engine when they saw us. That made TW relax. We strolled round, dodging bin bags and dog walkers and then when we got to the downhill it TW jumped off as it was a bit slippy.
We walked together down the track and then up the road. TW was a bit slow so every so often i bit the back of her knees to speed her up. I think she liked that. Back at the field I did some sun-bathing and Jez had a lesson. When TW came back in the afternoon she wanted some cuddles. Jezey wanted to chase Luna . So cuddles were limited. So glad it was sunny.

striding out
In the last week or so we have mostly been eating hay and going for walks in hand with TW. It's been nice getting out and about , I reckon there is some good hacking to be had near us.
Today was different. TW was feeling super lazy and really couldn't be arsed. She chucked us out and mucked us out and gave us a bucket of chaff each to eat in the slightly less muddy mud. Nom. Then she had a burst of energy and hauled me and in and brushed my crusty mud off. Jez and Bee were disgusted!
Then came the tack, all good. It was bleddy windy again. TW had a big purple sparkly wand. I suggested she put it away. And she did. very good. On she got and I did a good Jez impression and tried to whizz up the track but TW said no. So we sauntered to the gate and I was allowed to nibble some grass. NOM.
Holy mother off god! A ginger thing appeared. Hacking in company? Me? I will have a bit of that action. Off we went up the drive. TW said we will see how he goes and if I need to I will get off. Feck that. Right on the road and up to a place I've never been before. I did some super stomping. TW was so pleased. I did no spooking or silliness or owt. Went in front sometimes but mostly me and the rusty boy were side by side. He did almost try to bite my ass on one occassion which scared TW as she didn't see and thought for a minute I was going to buck! As if!!
We did the whole loop in about 30mins, TW was impressed. Back in the field I rolled and rolled just to make her worry a wee bit. Then in the afternoon Jez and Tw walked together round the loop. It was blowing a gale but they could still hear me screaming my head off for the whole hour they were out! Ha!
