warm

Today there was a lovely warm morning. We ignored TW for a super long time today before coming up for hay-fast and random pics. She noticed that there are more and more green patches appearing on us from the spirulina.

Anyhoo, TW wanted to sit at the yard all day but she had work to do. So she gave us some scratches and sat for a wee while. Jez told TW that life is too short for fecking about and she needs to get her arse in gear and get riding.

Later Boblet told TW he had noticed all of the packages that keep coming for us that she doesn't even open. he threatened to take charge of the finances, TW told him to crack on. I reckon Boblet was scared.

burdock

So TW and the cripple arrived a bit later than we would have liked today. We were grazing obviously when they arrived and the girls wanted to blank them in protest. I was like feck that shit I need my hay-fast so off we trouped and got stuck in to the good stuff. I am most impressed with the continued hay supply , it's nice for my tummy I reckon.

Anyhoo, TW was unpicking the wind knots again when a little green car arrived with a lady in it. The dawgs were tres excited. TW and me had a dance about cos I wasn't massively keen on being caught however when she muttered the magic words "you're a dick" I relented and went up to see the lady. Wowzer!! She had boxes and boxes of shizzle.

So this lady was a pharmocognosy dude. Boblet wasn't convinced but everyone knows he's a heathen. The lady had different oils and herbs and stuff for me to self select to heal myself. Awesome. I liked this game.

So we started off with the violet stuff and I nommed it down. I told TW I was still upset from when I colicked cos I thought I was going to die and she was so sad. I remember lying in the field panting all exhausted while TW sat and cried and held my head. That made TW get wet eyes. Then I sniffed and licked various things. The lady knew I had tummy problems and emotional issues and was well prepared with her kit. 

I mostly nommed mint and seaweed and sniffed oils. TW said I wasn't fussed about licorice so I ate shit loads. I also chucked a couple of buckets of water over the lady, spat at TW and pulled great faces. Apart from when the lady tried to photograph me. Then she got out the burdock. OMFG it was awesome. I ate so much of it. I bet TW buys me some later. Lunatic tried to steal the seaweed. Dilly could see I was nomming and tried to draw attention to herself by kicking the gate but I ignored her.

Then the lady said she would offer me some oils to help with emotions. Meh. Not so fussed about that, I don't know if TW can handle it. I sniffed some bits and then she offered me the stuff for separation anxiety. Fuck that shit. I turned my back and ignored her til it went away and some herby stuff reappeared. No trauma therapy til I feel safe dudes.

Then we finished and I went back to the field and nommed some hay the others had left. TW wanted Brack to have a session but he refused. Silly bugger. I reckon he might like it. TW and the cripple that is Boblet mooched about a bit more and then they fecked off and we carried on grazing. Not a bad day.

Pain

So this weekends learning seems to be that boys cannot manage pain as well as girls. This is the conclusion as we have not seen Boblet since yesterday due to his poorly back. TW has concluded due to his whinging that he has done himself an injury similar to when she last plopped off my back ( Zorro style) but apparently Boblet wakes her up at 1.30am screaming in pain and requesting reiki while TW had to suffer in silence.

I did take umbrage to this as she is not to mention falls and she apologised. I'm also not convinced that boys are wimpier than girls however I can't say that out loud in case I get booted.

Anyhoo, we have only seen TW today. This morning she was focused on untangling wind plaits and spraying mane and tail juice everywhere. I was a very good boy but again wet weather makes my tummy grumble. When she came back later she somehow convinced Brack to get a headcollar on and have some fly spray. Me and Jez and Mikka had some perfume on too, so did Misty. TW tried to get a bit on Lyra but she freaked out a wee bit. Dilly was not interested.

TW is worried about pony lice at the moment so has been on an ebay spending spree for de-lousing stuff. The difficulty will be getting the de-lousy stuff on the ponies that need it. We have a lady visiting tomorrow to bring some lotions and potions. Apparently Boblet said that TW "does spend some money on alternative shit", I think hes just jealous.

Ribs, dandelions, pips and eggs

Boblet has broken his ribs. Again. This time he did it pretending to be an acrobat and slipped while jumping up a wall. He is in a lot of pain. TW is being a good nurse and taking care of him with a special treatment regime. So today he had to stack 50 new bales of hay apparently to make him feel better. I'm not sure it worked!

Anyhoo, today I have mostly been nomming dandelions. And I had a bit of yeast today. We have all been nice and chilled, mooching about but we are all super itchy. Misty had lots of scratches but the rest of us weren't fussed. We would rather rub on the fence and annoy Bobley some more.

After the hay delivery (the hay man asked Boblet if TW had punched him and broke his ribs...) they went home and we mooched about some more. Then they came back and TW offered round some agnus castus pips while Boblet and the lunatic hid chocolate eggs. Misty loved the pips and ate loads. Dilly wanted pips but didn't really need them she is just a guzzle guts, Mikka liked them too. Jez just pulled faces at them and Brack said they were vile. I ate a few though, they were sort of tasty.

A bit later and the kids arrived with their new red truck. The bigger two ran about collecting eggs in Mikka's bucket with Boblet while the wee one sat in his truck and shouted Jezey. He is pony obsessed. When they headed back to the yard we all had a mini hooly to beat them to it and lined up so they all had to parade through us. They didn't mind though. Then some walkers came and said nice things about us and gave the girls some cuddles while I slept. The baby was not impressed as he says we are his ponies. A bit later they all went home and we went back to sleep after the big boy and Boblet gave Misty some cuddles. I think TW has forgotten about riding again. Nightmare.

scratches

TW had lots of time today but mostly she wanted to sleep. We mostly felt the same. We were waiting round the gate when she arrived with the dawgs and pretended we were hungry. Then we took it in turns to knock the barrow over with all the supplements in it. I think we did a good job of winding her up. Im not bothered about supplements at the moment but Misty is still loving the yeast and Dilly will eat owt.

Anyhoo, she chucked us hay out and then took some to the shelter for Brack who was hiding from the midges. Then she chilled for a bit with the dawgs while we munched. Well until she realised that daft iggy had gone wondering off on his own. Lordy that was some shouting early in the morning!!

After that she put the dawgs away and offered up some scratches. Mikka was feeling better today so had loads of scratches all over. Then Dilly had a go but me and Jez weren't fussed. Misty had a little scratch and then decided she preferred to nip TW's hand and Lyra was busy nomming. So eventually TW made her way to the shelter and spent ages with the Bee. I want to get out and about on some rides soon but I don't think TW can be arsed at the moment. So rude. She says I need to be confident at home first. . Gah.

long day

Hay is no longer a priority, so when TW chucked it out for us we came up had a nibble but we weren't massively fussed. TW tried to catch me but I fecked off so Jez and her had a tootle about and then I agreed to have a go. TW made the mistake of dropping her stick cos we were just walking up and down the yard so I pretended to chuck in a wee buck just to test her nerves. She just gave me a mouthful though, Gah!

Anyhoo, Dilly didn't want to be ridden and we all trundled off to get the grass. A bit later the osteo lady came and Misty, me and Jez had a treatment. My TMJ was tight. Mikka wasn't in the mood so she sacked her session off. Then TW bogged off for some grub.

A wee bit later she reappeared with the dawgs and they all had a big run about while we kept nomming grass. Then a bit later the kids appeared and then eventually Boblet rolled up and they had a picnic and some water fights and random stuff. The baby one was shouting for Jezey again and thinks Misty is Iggy the pup! Dafty. He's been a bit scared lately cos Boblet reckons I bit his fingers so he gets confused cos he loves us all loads and panics when we get too close. So I'm staying out the way til he feels better.

Eventually TW left and we set about finishing the rest of the hay. Nom.

gnashers

We were grazing when TW arrived this mo. We were almost not bothered about the hay. Almost but not quite. I thought I might get a little bit of riding in but TW was all tired again. Jez told her that her energy was wrong and she should go home so TW went back to bed and we nommed the hay in the wind.

Anyhoo, she came back after lunch time and we were all nomming down the bottom of the field. TW chucked us some extra hay out and walked down to tell us it was there so we all trundled up and did some more nomming.

Then the dentist appeared.

I got my head down and nommed. I did not need my pegs checking. Mikka monkey went first. She pretended she was going to be a monkey but was then a really good girl. Then Jez had hers done and TW was very proud of her. Dilly was not so keen and Brack completely refused. Dafty. She's coming back in 6 months so then it will be my turn again.
