I am hungry.
Nice and early TW bought three bowls of grub to the field. One for me, one for frank and one for Brack. Well that's what Brack thought. The third bowl was really for me so I positioned myself so it was by my feet while I had my head in the other bowl. Silly Bracky! TW tried to warn him. My kick got very close I think.
After nomming grub TW bought me a WHOLE bale of hay. Frank and Brack shared the slice left from yesterday. Nom.
Did I say I'm hungry?

6 weeks
TW says we have 6 weeks to get fit. Hmmmm is that BOTH of us? Could be interesting.
Today we went off in the box to a place called Elvaston Castle. It was lovely and sunny but super windy. Lots of my friends were there but we met up with Harry and his owner. Excellent! TW said we would have a slow plod about. So we did. Then she worried that there was something wrong with me as I wasnt whizzing about. I thought that's what she wanted? Frank said well played though as he reckons I might get a) a rest, b) more food and c) a massage. Interesting.
We mostly walked and had some trots and a couple of nice canters. We followed blue arrows around two loops. Quinny did it twice with his gang. At one point the wind was so strong that a tree went crack and then dropped a big branch. Oops! Me and Harry weren't bothered though.

Good day
After a rainy night , today was sunny. It's warmer too although Brack says there's more rain due. TW came and put me and frank into our beds and I got to have a lovely nom while TW and Frank went out with Zoe and ZM.
Now, when they got back TW wasnt sure what to do. Rest, lunge or ride? She quickly decided to ride and said we could practise our trotting. Nice. I was feeling nice and relaxed today and TW sang to me which helped even more. We just went down the bridlepath and when we got to the bench we started trotting, we trotted all the way along, turned round in trot and trotted all the way back . It felt good. At the bench we turned right and trotted some more, I was nappy as it was the wrong way. TW made me do it anyway. Trot all the way down the first bit, trot back then trot along the last field. Lots of trots.
TW says we need to build up our trotting. I think she needs to get fitter then. Back at the yard I had some grub, ate some neem, got covered in neem and fly spray and then went back to the field with frank. Lots of fun.

Take two
We had another evening hack tonight. This time with Zoe and ZM. Archie and a man made me spook , TW got cross. I didnt spook after that. TW was happy. We had a lovely tootle down the little bridlepath, did some wiggling from side to side and even had a few little trots and canters.
TW said I felt better today. My new supplement has come from mr Hilton herbs. It's yummy.

Spooks
TW decided as it was a nice evening me and her could go for a nice relaxing hack. Lovely. I stood so nicely for her to get on, she was chuffed to bits. Unfortunately there were some nasty dogs making horrid noises in the village and that set off my spooky threat system. I had a couple of rattly spooks in the village and then off we went down the bridlepath.
Trot and canter along the hedges, TW wanted to trot I wanted to canter. For some reason I ran into the hedge twice and scratched my eye. Ouch. We did some lovely cantering though and then TWs legs got tired. But we decided to have one last lovely fast canter. And I spooked again. TW flew through the air and plopped on her knees in the field. I stopped and had a nom while she sorted herself out.
Off we trundled to the bench, TW got back on and we cantered back along the hedge. I was pooped. TW was a bit sore. Ten it was baxk to the stable for a nom. On the way back to the field TW touched my chest when I wasnt expecting it and I did another huge spook. Oops. SHe poked and prodded me all over but couldn't find any sore bits but she did find another two lumpiness. I think they are fly bites. Yuck.

Check up
TW keeps examining me . Wierd. She keeps asking me if I will be ok to. There is alot of poking around under my rug, today she was practically lying down nosying. Very wierd. I obliged by letting everything hang out. That made her chuckle I think. Frank says the herbal remedies will be appearing. Any moment now. Hope they taste nice.

Polos
I was having a lovely snooze today, lying down in the hay bed and nibbling when TW and frank left the field. I couldn't believe it!! What about me? I was sad.
Later on they came back and I got my ruggle off and had lots of kisses. TW said I needed a rest after my busy day yesterday. So I spent some time nomming and snoozing . Frank and brack were spooking and being scared at something in the hedge. i wasnt interested. It was pleasant enough. After a while TW took me to the yard for some grub , squuezing oast a huge big skip trasnporter thingy. no bother. a nice big vet man came to see me. He looked at my sheath and said I might have a sarcoid. It made TW very sad. If it gets worse i will probably have to have some cream from Liverpool to see if it will make it better, she said it might do some damage to the area around the sarcoid though. That doesn't sound nice.
To cheer us up we had some snogs and TW gave me some polos. That was nice. Then I went back to my field and back into my ruggle. I didnt want TW and the polos to go. Bracky said she needs to go to look at sarcoids on the Internet and to find special supplements as she likes doing that. Frank said I'd done a good job in worrying her, he said he hopes I'm ok. I'm sure I will be.
