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.

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!
