Today was a lovely sunny day. TW was up early and off we went to the stables. I'm still not keen on that scary skip thing that's appeared though.
Quick hoof pick out and hay net then we were off on the nobby box. Eek. Had a big poo before I got on the ramp today.then two more big poos as we were driving.
It seemed to be a really long drive today , on the motorway and everything. TW got lost which was a pain but we eventually got to our destination! Poolsbrook park! Fab! Even better my friends Tess and Raf were there too!
Off we went on a lovely hack. We crossed bridges over water and bridges over roads. We saw benches and swans and statues and buses and dogs and all sorts. We even had a little jump over a ditch! And we even got to canter ( I sneaked a few extra bits of canter in too! Oops!). It was absolutely FAB!!!!!
We were out for two hours I think and I was a bit warm at the end so I got my pjs on and had some hay while TW and chms drank tea. Then it was back in the box and back home. Shattered! It was soooo lovely. Hope we can do it again soon.

Bad weather blues
Rubbish weather! I was meant to be going to Shipley park today with TW but its been windy and rainy :(
We had a nice day in the stables though, had some good brushing s and cuddles although TW worried that maybe my hocks were a bit warm. After a rest me and frank went back to the field and I wrestled with Brack and did some lovely cantering about while TW poo picked.

Wrestle mania
Today we were meant to be going out for some endurance training but TW couldn't make it so we had a day in the field instead. It was really windy!! We didn't mind though. We had some brekky and then all snoozed while TW poo picked.
After a little cuddle from TW we trundled off to the water and had a drink. Then I had a great idea. Wrestling!! Me and Bracky did sme boxing and some ankle biting and then he hung onto my rug and I dragged him round the field. Woohoooo!! Followed by a stampede round the field led by frank. Great fun.
I'm looking forward to finding out more about endurance stuff though, I'd like to have a proper job to do.

New chum
Today was a lovely day, cold but sunny. I wouldn't have minded a day in the field but TW had other ideas. I had some hay and then it was on with franks fleece and onto the box. It's been a long time! We were both a bit nervous I think.
Off we went and an hour later we pulled up somewhere new. It was a lovely house and some lovely stables with a nice lady who has treats! For a little minute I worried that TW was going to leave me there but then a cob called drum appeared. Aha, hacking time.
Now I thought that as a baby and as a guest, my chum Drum would lead the way but he had other ideas. So off I went with drum following. Sometimes it was scary and I had to stop. We saw loads of horses and ponies , wierd men, dogs and runners and rubbish. And of course a stinky bench. We went on a road and saw a flag and some wreaths of poppies. Then we went into some woods. It was lovely and peaceful and drum went back in the lead.
All of a sudden we landed almost on top of a shoot. Eek. We turned round and set back the way we came. Let me tell you there was an awful lot of shooting!! Round we went, back over the road, down a lane to see more horses and then eventually back at drums house. Phew. I was tired. It's rather hilly round there. TW had a quick cuppa and then off we went in the box bak home , I ate some hay and then it was pink ruggle on and into the field. Shattered.
Looking forward to seeing my chum drum again.

Tea day
I've not seen TW since Tuesday which is sad. Today she appeared and the field was rather wet. We all ignored her but she came and caught me and frank. It was still windy though.
At the gate TW let us both go while she locked the gate behind us . Oh dear something spooked frank and off he went and I followed. Barged past TW I to the field and round we went. TW trudged round after us. She wasnt best pleased.
Frank had been charging round the field all night and was a bit stressy. In the end TW gave up and me and her went in together which was nice.
After some nomming TW and I went on a little hack around the village. It was nice , she sang all the way round which wasnt so nice. I was a little bit hesitant at times but we got through it together. Afterwards we shared a cup of tea and roskos mum came to visit. Then I had a load of hay and a snooze in Bracks stable while TW went for grub. Excellent.

Cup of tea
Someone has broken the fence. TW wasn't best pleased. The fence along the wooden fence was broken today, tape was everywhere and a post had been broken. Somehow the energiser had detached itself from the fence. Oh dear. Eol and Chaz have moved into the long grass in their nice big field. TW thinks this might have something to do with the fencing but apparently not.
Frank and I had to come up to the yard today. It was soooooo muddy and slippy. But at the yard we got to take our rugs off and have a little brush. Then the farrier man came. Goodness he does scare me. I hoped that he would just do franks but nope he wanted to do me too :( I tried to hide in the stables but TW made me come out. Rude.
He was nice to me today though and as a distraction TW gave me one of Zoe's carrots. Nom. When I'd eaten that she shared her cup of tea with me. Nice. Not so bad then.
When he'd gone I hoped we would get to stay in our beds but we had our rugs back on and got chucked out into the mud. Boo.

Awwwwww
Today I was hoping to go to a Xmas pleasure ride. But the roads were icy so it was postponed. So TW arranged for Harry to come over to us for a hack. But then this morning the roads were icy and the sun was sooooo bright it was hard to see on the roads. And the bridlepath was all rutted and frozen.
So TW came down to the field in the sunshine and took our rugs off for a while while she did some poo picking, Bracky said he can't remember the last time she picked so much poo. It's a shame we didnt go out again but it was nice all together in the field.
