Competition

TW, Boblet and the dawgs arrived together this morning and the sun was shining. TW got us a nice big bale of hay and we nommed and nibbles yeast.

Boblet says that Madam Lyra is getting too big for her boots so needs do a bit more something. TW chucked my muddy blue rug down on the ground and waited. Lyra was watching out the corner of her eye. Headcollar on and then a slight wrestle away from the hay. Lyra was intrigued. Wierdo. She stamped and pawed on my rug a few times and then walked over it and said "piece of piss", had a scratch and went back to the hay. TW was impressed.

Next Mikka did a teeny bit of stuff, she was keen too. Jez obviously wasn't and eventually had a smacked bum threat and then all of a sudden she realised she could be a good girl too. Not without scaring TW that she might have lammi though. Yeah cos that's the reason she plants her feet! Good work Bella.

Anyhoo, TW was feeling confident by this point and I was nice and relaxed so she took me up to the stable where Boblet was playing with his quad and tacked me up. No bother at all. I let her get on when she dropped her stick and then I decided I was too scared to leave the field. Bad move. TW and Boblet had a row cos he said he was too busy to help her. Lordy she screamed some bad stuff at him. I was even more scared after that! Not really! Boblet eventually walked out of the field and I followed him nicely all the way up the track and we practiced stopping and starting. Boblet reckons I've lost my confidence and need some practice to get it back.  Then we turned round on our own and started back up the track but the nobby horses who act like they've never seen horses before started twatting about so we came back and walked up and down by the stables instead for a bit. It was all good. TW said I was a very good boy and blew me some balloons up for a treat. That was nice of her. No-one was bothered about the balloons apart from the dawgs.

Next her and Dilly pootled about all over, nice and relaxed. Dildred works well in exchange for mints it seems. Even when Lyra knocked a barrow over to scare her she stayed cool. me and the arab girls were so jealous of the mints and Dilly even got some grass too ffs. Boblet says maybe TW could ride Dilly more if she is being good. Gah!  As soon as Dilly was back in the field Mikka said she wanted another turn so she went out and had a saddle on and did some grazing while TW drank her pop. TW bought Mikka today, I reckon Mikka was pleased to know she is staying with us forever. Cos when she tried to batter me in the field and TW got in the way she restrained the kicking and biting . The noises still made me and TW shit ourselves though. She must love TW i reckon.
