natives v arabs

Sorry I've not blogged for a few days. TW got so germed up that she confiscated the laptop and sulked for a few days. We only really saw her for hay visits and a few cuddles. What a mardy bum!!

Anyhoo, today she was starting to feel a wee bit better cos she had a big sleep. She came up and gave us hay and Boblet set to work hammering wood on the fence to try and stop the dawgs straying too far away. TW decided she could do some stuff.

First she took Jez out of the pot which is never easy cos Jez is a supreme foot planter. She gave her a nice groom and tacked her up and attempted to ride up the track. But Jez was too scared. So they tried to walk up the rest of the track in hand. Jez wasn't keen. So they came back to the yard and had a little wrestle and ride about. TW was pleased.

Then Mikka had a nice groom and went for a wee walk and was very good apart from jumping at the lambikins. TW was very pleased. Mikka was very cuddly. I went to sleep.

Next Dill had a brush and a tiny ride. TW was pleased. Boblet was slightly worried as Dilldred threatened to bog off but TW laughed and it was all good. I snoozed some more.

Then Lyra practiced leaving us. She was slow and steady so they also practiced turning round. Then they did tying up. Lyra was very good but she still doesnt like picking her feet up. TW said the arabs are easier than the chunks, I have no idea what she is on about. Oh!! And they all got carrots. I did not. Bracken knew TW was on a mission today and spent the whole day hiding from her. I've got a runny tummy a bit but I still feel ok. I was meant to be on a pleasure ride today, I'm looking forward to some regular work.
