sunshine

The sun was shining nice and early this morning and my tummy was feeling a whole lot better. I had some yea sac again and some of the other mycosorb stuff. Misty had some too. She doesn't like being groomed sometimes like me.

Anyhoo we did the hay thing as usual and TW figured out cos she was up so early she had some time to hang around so thought we might have a little pootle togther. So she tied me to the wall, gave me a little brush and tacked me up. For some reason my girth wouldn't do up. How odd! But TW had a rummage and found the girth extender thingy and then we were good to go. She had an idea that we could try to get on the road today even though we havn't been past the haylage bales for ages. So like a good boy scout she put on her high viz and I had my proper bridle on just in case.

Normally she gets on behind the car cos sometimes I find it hard to go past it and past the wierd trailer thing. Today she was feeling brave and we got on in front of the car. No problem. Funnily enough my girth needed to go up a million holes when she got on...not sure why that was.

 We walked straight past and onto the track. For some reason TW had decided that she could remember how to ride today. She patted me lots and did lots of deep breathing and made me stop and start and move left and right. Sometimes I got scared but she didn't worry and we kept on going. Near to the end I wanted to turn back but it was quiet so TW said we should go onto the road. So we did. Stopped to let a car past then popped into the drive down the road, turned round and came back. TW was very proud.

Back down the track and the wind was blowing. It sounded like the roof was going to blow off a shelter in the field next door. Normally that would have made her get off cos she was scared and I was scared. This time she turned me around and we went back up the track and she said if it was still noisy next time she would get off. it wasn't. So we stopped and started and backed up a bit until we were back at the start. I got lots of pats.

Back in the field she put my stuff away and then jumped over the fence. TW asked me for a kiss like we used to do. I gave a kiss and she skipped off all happy.
