breathe

TW was a bit sad when she arrived this morning. She had seen an old blog on facebook from 4 years ago when we had ridden on the busy 60mph road on our own and gone for a sunset hack. She wants to do that again. It was so windy that we just ate hay and had some cuddles and then she gave up and went home cos the rain started. We were all sharing nicely though so that pleased her.

Later on the sun was shining and TW re-appeared which was nice. Mikka and Misty and Bracky were snoozing and we were still picking at hay. TW said she would really like to have a little ride on me but I said I needed to doze instead. Jez said she would put her halter on but then she went to sleep too. TW got really sad.

So I got my tack on and out the gate we went and on she got. It was so bleddy windy. TW said I could graze which was nice and then we did some steps. I was spooky and looky. TW said we would just stand and breathe and graze and then walk some more. She sang to me which I like even though its crap.  I did my super alert giraffe impression and in the end she got off and we walked up and down the track together chatting. My tootsies are maybe a bit sore which isn't good.

Anyhoo back at the mounting block and TW got back on. I'm doing very well at standing nicely. The saddle thing slipped a bit and I wouldn't move. Finally!! TW realised that when i nap it's cos she's wonky and I'm scared she's going to fall off! She straightened up and off we went and then I did a ginormous spook. She's not scared of spooking at all it's wierd. She's scared of spinning and running but I don't think I've ever done that? That's Jezs trick. She jumped off and tried to see what had scared me. So I ran off towards it to show her, down the track that we've never been on before. It was quite good. I snorted and giraffed and snorted some more. Eventually we went back in the field and I nipped Lyra for being annoying.

Lyra and Mikka decided they needed lots of scratches and cuddles and Mikka got TW to take her rug off. Pair of attention seekers. I went back to sleep to dream of days when TW was brave.
