Today was a sunny day. But really freaking windy. TW bowled up to the yard with Boblet and the ratbags and promptly tied the Pig to the caravan so she could see to me. Excellent. It might have been a nice day for riding but the field was far more inviting. Out we went, through the mud and before TW could shut the gate thing I was down on the floor. Rolling. In all the mud. It felt fabulous!
She tootled off with the pig and they all had a play in the field. They are so weird chasing after tennis balls. Poor Iggy piggy has to stay on his big long lunge line for being a fecking cow chasing barsteward (so Boblet says). TW did let him off briefly while they tired him out on the hill. heheheh, chubby puppy. I bet he would write an interesting blog!
After the pups were pooped ( well Iggy was pooped and Boblet was too cold) they all trooped into the caravan and TW came back to give me some cuddles. I followed her about the field a bit and she was really chuffed until she realised I was doing the face pulling behind her back again. Oops! Then I got chased round ( not really as she's about as fit as Iggy piggy) and we got down to some nice muddy scratches. My fur is starting to come out,spring must be on its way. Apart from the fact that the gritters were out at bed time. FFS.

Glow in the dark
More drizzly mizzly weather today. No turnout. Thank god for huge stables and big nets of haylage. I'd rather be out today though its really mild.
TW bowled up with Boblet and the Lunatic about 10ish which was nice. I fancied some scratches, TW fancied trying my new bridle. In the rain. And wind. Bitless. Fabulous.
The new bridle is so bright and pink it should glow in the dark. TW loves it ( Mr Stuart made it) and to be fair it is super soft. I shut my eyes while she put it on to ignore the brightness. Neither of us could tell if she got it on the right way or not but it felt good. The flower hackamore thing is wierd though.
As soon as she got on she regretted it. Head down and nom nom nom. Boblet didn't know where to look. Some negotiation followed which didn't involve the sticky coming out of the car and off we trundled, nice and relaxed. TW was impressed. She wanted me to follow Boblet but the Lunatic lagged behind so that didn't work. And when they did come past us TW soon realized that maybe I was going to follow them and not listen to her. oops!
We practised stopping and starting , all good. Boblet said "are you going to go round the field?", TW replied " no thank you darling" or something to that effect that included lots of F type words, laughing and general rudeness about my inability to respect a flower on my nose in a wide open space. We had a little trot or two, all good. Boblet and the lunatic went and hid in the caravan and we had another go, even better said TW.
Then I got to graze and went back to my stable. i wanted lots of scratches. TW gave me a few and then went. Bleddy rude.

Twice
It was sunny today. How awesome is that? Out with the Brack-man and Seb. Seb is wierd though, he just stands by the fence eating the hay nets and neighing to go back in. Me and Brack on the other hand spend the day mooching about and grazing cos no matter what other people say there is grass to be had.
I was having a nice relaxing nibble on the green stuff at lunch time when I heard a shout. Dear lord I nearly had a heart attack and jumped a mile in the air! Goddamn TW standing at the fence looking cheery. I didn't run over to her immediately, me and the Bee just stood looking haughty and glaring at her but later on when she had sorted out my new cupboard we went over and had some cuddles which was lovely. She can't work out how Bracky is so rotund while I'm getting thin. I didn't tell her that the cows let him out every night and he stuffs his thelwell chops with lovely long grass before heading back again early doors. Wee barsteward.
Anyhoo, after a lovely day in the field TFO got me and put me in my stable. Holy mother of god there was a huge wooden monstrosity in there. It was fecking terrifying. I snorted and sniffed and stomped about. And then I got my feed and promptly forgot all about it. Ha! and blow me if TW didnt appear again with Boblet and the heathen hounds in tow. Which was amusing as TFO had her hounds from hell with her. Game on! Sadly TFO's terrorists seem to have realised that the Staffiosa plus Luna pup are lean mean fighting machines so there was no blood shed. Bracky was most disappointed.
I got some snuggles with TW while Iggy-piggy got tied to the caravan and then off they all tootled. It was light til nearly 6pm tonight too. Now that is frickin amazing.

RIP
TW didn't manage to make it up to see us today. She had a funeral to go to. Her lovely Auntie Maur passed away recently from nasty cancer and everyone went to pay their respects. I had never met Auntie Maur as she had given up on seeing TW on horses after she watched a lesson when TW was little. I think it was yet another occasion when TW fell off , landed on her head and had concussion. It happens quite regularly. Its a shame as I would have liked Auntie Maur and I'm sure she would have liked me.
Fortunately TW managed to spend time in church without bursting into flames so I'm sure I will see her soon.

nibbles
TW popped up to see us again this morning but didn't have time for riding as she had been drinking tea in bed with the dawgs before heading out for lunch with ZM! Bleddy goon! She really needs to get her priorities right I think.
She grumbled about a bit as I was in my stable again staying away from the mud. We had some cuddles and scratches and then we had a donder about while I nibbles some bits of grass. The fuzzy shitland pony saw me and did a dance to get my attention but I ignored it. TW is obsessed with grass at the moment and comparing fields hehehe its funny. There were bleddy flies everywhere too! Good lord!

happy birthday
Happy birthday TW!
Its been a big soggy again so I had to stay in my stable this morning. It was also baltic and super windy. TW arrived mid morning looking cold and confused. She couldn't find her hat, then couldn't undo the bolt so Jiggys mum had to help her and then she lost my girth. It's not helped by the fact she still can't find her glasses hehehe.
Anyhoo, eventually my tack was on ( back to the treed saddle) and we braced ourselves against the wind and strolled up the track to wait for Jiggy. Up the road , met up and off we went. Windy windy windy.
TW thought maybe i was a bit sluggish again, I think it's cos im starving! I could do with a bit of that big bale of hay nonsense that I use to have! Nom. We pootled along then a car sped at us really fast. TW gestured to slow down, he just waved and sped on. TW and JM did a synchronised sticking up of their fingers at him. Such classy birds!!
We strolled up the cliff path and round some tracks. Down roads and tracks and bridlepaths and round about. It was lovely, nice and relaxed. Poor Jiggy wondered why we were so slow I reckon - he wants to try lugging TW round for a change. 2 1/2 hours we pottered about , got sleeted on and rained on and every now and again I managed to get a cheeky nibble of grass. Yum. TW thinks my tootsies might be a bit sore too. Loads of worrying for her to do!
Eventually we got back to the yard and I had some nibbles and some kisses and scratches. TW had a quick chat to Brack too and while she wasn't looking the bleddy cows tried to trash my tack! Feckers!

bleddy cold
it was bleddy cold this morning. TW came up with the wee muscly dog and debated having a wee pootle but she felt on balance that she would prefer to have time for sausage sarnies and cups of tea with Boblet. Fair enough. Have I mentioned it was baltic?
We had lots of scratches and cuddles in the field while the wee muscly dog ran about being a nob. Talking about nobby dawgs I think there was a dog related incident at the yard even earlier than TW's arrival. Tut tut I wouldnt never behave like that....Bracky on the other hand...well who can say?
After we had some snogs TW headed off for a walk with Seb and his mum who were practising their bitless shizzle. I might get my bitless groove on again soon, especially now spring is nearly here.
