tracks increase exercise

Saturday today. TW was meant to be on a course and letting Boblet look after us. She didn't go, tired or something I think...

Anyhoo when she arrived with Boblet and the dawgs we were stood by the gate and she knew straight away something was wrong. My rug was all wonky and my leg straps were wierd. She came rushing in and tried to sort me out but I said I needed some hay to make my tummy better first. \So she opened the hay stable and I started nomming while she took off my rug. I'd got to warm in it and had rolled and rolled and got it all muddled up. Stupid rug. She then took the girls rugs off too. My tummy was a bit gurgly again so I had some yeast and so did Dill.

Next she put nets up and had a wrestle with Bracken again as he tried to stop her walking down the field with his net. She found bopping him on the bum with it worked quite well. Then she did some mucking out and sloped off for some breakfast.

It was a lovely sunny day today. No sooner had she gone she seemed to reappear, this time with just Boblet and the lunatic. They walked about a bit in the sun while we still nommed. When they came back Misty told TW that she wanted to go on the grass track. TW opened it and quick as you like Misty was in through the first paddock and into the second before TW could shut it off. We all followed super fast. Apart from Dildred who was nomming hay still. TW shook her head and her and Boblet set about taping round the second track. We galloped about and bucked a bit and eventually we were where we meant to be! TW was relieved.

Boblet said they might as well clear some rubbish as we had uncovered loads of crappy haylage wrappers left by naughty people. TW jumped on the back of his quadbike and off they went followed by Lunatic. I couldnt bleddy believe it! She's my person not Boblets!! I stood and stared and glared, I could tell she felt guitly. When they got to the rubbish she noticed that we were all running into the first paddock track which made her happy. Until she came back over and realised we had gone straight through the track fencing and were happy in the middle grazing!! Oops!!

TW was a bit sad and tired by now. She didn't know what to do. Lyra and Mikka could see she was sad and went up to her and gave her a kiss and said they would be good girls. So she opened another part of the fence and they stepped back on the track where they were meant to be. TW moved me next and then Jez. Brack moved himself to avoid being caught and then Misty followed. Phew! She was relived and so was Boblet who was getting a bit sick of fencing I reckon.

Off they went to get the battery and zappy thing and Dilly mooched down to see what was going on while we all grazed the nice track. Boblet put down the battery and had a cuddle with Dill and was confused when she stompled off. Then she started running down the track, TW was so pleased cos she wants the track to give us more exercise. But Dilly wasnt keen and just ran through the fence and into the middle! Oh bugger! I had to look the other way. Misty went running to see if she could get in too but they were too quick for her so she just galloped round - she likes the track. Boblet said bad stuff to Dilly when they got her out!!

Misty then started a stampede around the track , a super fast gallop. It was amazing! But at the bottom we split into two groups and went in opposite directions and when we met again at the top I thought TW was going to be sick cos me and Mikka ran into each other - her legs are not as chunky as mine!! We did some more galloping about and TW said she was shattered and going home for a nap. Oops!

After her nap she came back to check we were all ok. Me and Jez were back on the hay and the others were on the track. The weather was getting wild again so she rugged Mikka and Dill and took some pictures and buggered off again. She said she won't be back til tomorrow. I bet shes wondering if Dilly will go through the fence again now she has a rug on!!
