Girls girls girls

When TW came to the field today to get me I thought maybe she was going to put me in my bed for a few hours for a nice rest. I was sleepy from yesterday's hard work. But I was wrong. Quick brush, brief nap and then into the box again!! I couldn't believe it.

When we arrived I was a bit confused. It was a different yard. There were lots of nice horses about but I don't want to move!! It was ok though, I spotted my friend Kez! We were there for a hack.

Today's hack was a it different to normal. I was out with three girls! Three lovely but rather opionated girls. Kez, Margot and Tamara. How posh?? I had to stay at the back which was annoying, I also had to stay out of the way of girly kicks. Me and TW had sme wrestles over this. We went round the lovely park, walking , then super fast trotting...I wanted to canter soooo much. Sometimes Kez managed to canter ...she's so fast! Margot did sme lovely bucks hehehe.

I was pooped when we got back but it was such a lovely day again! I love new friends and new hacks. I hope we go back soon.

Keep on Rolling baby

Today I learnt a great new thing!! Smetimes when leading me , TW doesn't pay a great deal of notice. Particularly when we are in the top section of the field and she is waving at frankie who is in the bottom part of the field. I think she was a bit shocked though when the lead rope went tight and she turned round just as I flung myself on the floor for a lovely big muddy sweaty role!! It was amazing!! She laughed though. Maybe ill do it again.

We had a lovely day today though. It was lovely and sunny so me and TW pootled off in the box to Blidworth woods. It was a bit strange when we got there. There were something called doggers in the car park. Not doggies although there were some of those too. TW swore and said the stupid dogger men should feck off back to work and she would set Boo on them if she could. Wierd!

In the car park we met up with two Lucy's and a Tom pony. I loved him straight away. Tom and one of the Lucys and me and TW set off for a lovely sunny hack. I decided I cold be the leader and stomped round the woods like I'd always been there. We walked and trotted and trotted and cantered. Toms Lucy shouted advice to TW to help us be better in balance. It was hard work but we loved it. We did fast trotting and slow trotting, went on mud and tracks and yellow roads and sand!! I loved the sand. We even rode through a pylon. I was really brave and TW was proud.

Towards the end I was fair pooped, it's proper hilly there so I had a cunning plan and stopped for a group of kids so they could stroke my nose! Excellent. I hope we can do this again sometime!

Back at the yard TW checked the weather forecast and chucked me out with no rug. Amazing!!

RIP Deano

Today is a very sad day. TW came to the field this evening and said that My favourite aunty Steph had lost her lovely ginger Deano today. He had an accident yesterday out with the bloodhounds and his leg was too poorly to be mended. TW was very sad. I gave her lots of nibbles which made her smile and cheered her up for a bit. I also tried to nip her ankles and grab the Velcro on her boots. She stayed and cuddled me for ages and then went home.

I hope aunty Steph is ok. Run free at rainbow bridge mr Deano xx

Happy 2013 !

TW said we had to start the new year as we mean to go on. But then she realised that although it was really sunny that it was super windy. Hmmmm. So we were both really brave and went out anyway.

Down through the village where the villagers were all starting to meet for their New Years walk. Down the bridlepath which was slippy and soggy. We saw a jogger man and I tried to run with him but TW said no we had to walk. Rubbish! Past the bench where it got even muddier and slippy, I hate it when it's like this . TW had hoped we would go all the way along to the next village and along the last bridepath but it was too soggy so we turned round and started back.

We had a couple of trots homeward bound but the ground was a bit deep and I wasnt keen. Plus my bridle was annoying my nose a bit. TW says maybe I can have a bigger one to see if that helps. Back through the village, it was getting scarier as the wind was rotten. TW said I had to be a very brave boy and she would keep me safe. I had a little stamps spook at two ladies who snuck up on me when I was eyeing up the scary skip but that was it. TW was very proud. So was frank when I got back.

Back at the yard I had a lovely big bowl of grub with frank and then we went back to graze in the field. The boys are letting me be part of their gang a bit more now. It's good especially as there's lots of grass! TW wants us to have a busy 2013. Should be good I reckon.

Stables are for relaxing

Stables are for relaxing you know. I wish someone would tell frank that. When we are in he spends the whole time watching TW and trying to get her attention. He's a right fidget. I just like to stand at the back of the stable and doze. It's lovely.

Today bee stayed in the field again and me and frank came through the windy village with TW. It was nice and sunny but a little scary. Especially the feed back under the car that rustled and blew about.

We didnt get to ride today. Instead we both did some running in circles. Frank went first. Him and TW think its boring but he did well and was very happy when he finished. TW wasnt sure if I knew how do it but as soon as the long rope thing came out I remembered. I did some walking and trotting in circles. TW said I looked lovely. I liked that.

Then I had a doze and we saw some visitors who gave us carrots. They were only tiny people and TW thought I might nibble them. Oops. I've got a different rug on today. Franks stinky blue LW. My new amigo rug wiggles about abit apparently .

Windy spooks

Today I thought I might get a nice relaxed day in bed as the weather was looking awful. TW had other ideas though. Firstly she rode frank round the village, he was very chuffed. I tried to hide at the back of braks stable and thought she might forget me but no I had to go out too.

We pootled round the village to. It was windy. Really windy. And rainy. TW said its good practise and we need to be brave. So I spooked getting off the drive. Oops. And then I spooked at the little scotty dog. But it was all ok. At the top of the village there was a scary piece of conifer bush flapping about in the middle of the road but the kind posty man moved it for me.

I was glad to get back in my bed and fell fast asleep. I've got a new rug on in the field now, a LW . It's not so good. TW wasnt impressed with it . Oh dear.

Thank you Brack

So I'm living in the big field now. There's lots of grass which is nice . And lots of hedges for shelter. Everything is mostly going ok although eols is being a bit bossy. He doesn't like it when I try and stand with frankie. That makes me sad. Well only a little bit. I'm just watching and waiting and working out how to fit in,

Bracky is looking after me. When Eol chased me away a few times today Bracky came over and stood with me and we had a little wrestle. Frankie stands in between me and Eol sometimes too to try and keep him away from me. Bracky showed me how to do a big buck in eols face too. TW is a bit worried as Eol has been nasty to other horses in he past but I'm sure it will be ok. There's plenty of room for all of us at the moment.

TW came and stood in the rain in the field for ages with us and I had lots of cuddles. It was lovely. Tbh I like peeps just as much as I like horses alot of the time. Silly Chaz kept trying to get in on the act but she mostly ignored him as it was my time. I liked that. She also marched over to Eol and made him move away from her. He went and hid behind Chaz. I liked that too.

Shame we didnt do any work today but TW says smetimes we all need a rest day. She also said that maybe it's better to stay in with the boys today and try and get settled. Maybe tomorrow will be a work day but the weathers not looking good.
