Hack attack

Today was an interesting day. I took my meds like a good boy and then off we all went out into the field for brekky. It was bleddy scorching at 7.30am. Far too hot for the Bee who wanted to hide in the shelter. There was some nice grass to be nommed which is always a bonus!

TW pottered about and then came to catch me. No bother! I had a nice groom and chilled in the sunshine and TW was impressed that I let her groom me all over and did no nipping or grumpy stuff. The Dave man from the yard came along to see us and I tried to ignore him for a bit as I was trying to be a good lad but eventually I gave him some attention. He's not a bad sort but I'm trying really hard to be a one human horse at the moment (well at least when TW is watching).

Anyhoo, then I got my tack on and TW hauled her fat ass onto my back. I stood rock solid. She was so pleased. Then we pootled down to the main yard. I was a bit unsure tbh but we made it down alive. Waiting for us was Twi the racehorse. She makes me chuckle, she's a different kind of girl to Jez i reckon. Jez likes wrestling and squirting and eating (probably like TW says brack but that's a bit rude!) while Twi is a more glamouress lady with a nice line in face pulling and tail swishing. Ha! Girls!!

We set off through the fields and Mr Dave kindly did the big gates, then onto the trail. It's lush on the trail. I even managed to open a few gates myself! TW was so proud!! We did a new hack today down to the canal and then along the river. I really wanted to trot. and really wanted to bite twi's bum to annoy her. TW wouldn't let me do either. Meany!! It's right steep round by us now we are in Derbyshire which apparently is good for me. Hmmm. TW practised teacher Ruth's stuff again today - love the elbows in rule cos I get to have the longest reins ever! Hehehehe. I managed some straight stops though :D We did 90 minutes with absolutely no problem at all although I did have a few sticky moments at the start until I managed to poo.

Back at the yard I had a visit from lovely trimmer Debs who did mine and Jezs tootsies. I was a very good bot. we even got to stay out tonight - TW says we will come in for a few hours in the day from now on to help our tummies and feet.
