grub, splat, poison

Today was another early visit from TW but no early riding.  She needs to luck her ideas up. I had my drugs and a handful of hay nuts and then we all tootled into the barn field. TW was surprised that we had only eaten half a bale of hay overnight cos she thinks it looks like theres not much grass. There is a new mare near Rusty for a few days, she jumped up when she saw us but we ignored her. And waited for TW.

The barn got ready and TW gave a shout and we all ran in. Hay cobs and mint and equishure and yeasty supplements. Nom. I gobbled it all up. TW was pleased and I let her give me a nice brush. we do enjoy the days inside. Its nice and cool and comfy in the barn.

TW left us to it and then went to poo pick. She found some wormy bits in the poo which she guessed was mine. Yuck. Then she headed home.

Anyhoo, she arrived back about 4pm and let us all out and fed us. She has also started putting some licorice root in a bowl, I ate some yesterday but bracky ate it today. Then she decided we could have a pootle. Tack on , on she got and I marched up the track. She was so pleased, we even managed to unhook the gate but couldn't quite get it open so she jumped off.

There;s a lot of grass in the field. I wanted to eat it. I stood near the wall though to let her get back on but she was a bit nervous in case I moved off. I didn't move off. But she launched herself so hard she flew right over my back and landed on the floor. Splat! What a twat! I'm glad she wears that body protector. Second time lucky and we headed off.

In the field I was a bit sticky. stopping and wiggling a bit. And trying to eat grass. We got up the two fields but I didn't feel as good as I had on the track and did a wierd stampy thing which worried TW. At the top she got off and we walked back together. She thinks maybe the wormer is making me a bit sore. Back on the track I ate a load of oak leaves, That worried her some more. But then I scoffed hawthorn and cleaver and she preferred that. She has my muscles seem lovely and soft but my tummy is still not quite right. Plus she thinks I'm walking a bit wierd on my front feet. I'm not sure if I am though. But I know she went home and bought some more supplements and feed.
