Hills

TW says her leg is feeling a bit better today so off we went in the box. Frank was not happy. We went to a place called Beacon Hill and met a nice girl called Nell and her human. We had a lovely ride. Round trails, through fields, past cows and calves and sheep. Mostly walking , a lovely canter. Then we went out onto some roads, through some villages and into a wood, past a fire and saw a huge buzzard.

It was really hilly , TW said its good for my bum. Phew! Afterwards we went home, I had sme grass and then went back to the boys for my grub. Frank was mad at me, I don't care.

Poorly TW and the bad Oliver.

Tw finished work early today as we had a pleasure ride to do. But she felt sad and poorly and lay down in the field for a bit. Goodness that was scary! She eventually felt a bit better so up to the yard we went and off to the ride. Exciting.

We were meant to be riding with olive and chums but at the ride TW spied another chum who needed company. Tack on and off we set, another lady asked to ride with us. That was fine. She had an Oliver. The Oliver had a red ribbon but the lady said he didn't kick she just didnt like horses up his bum.

Off we went, past a scary gate , onto a road and then onto the field edges. Trot trot trot. We trotted on and off for miles. It was fab. Me and my endurance bud at front, Oliver behind. For a wee moment Oliver got in front and the lady said please go past us again. So we did. Bad Oliver swung his bum and kicked TW square on the thigh. Ouchy. She was sore. She thought she would be sick. Couldn't speak much. But then she decided she was ok and off we went again, trotbtrotbtrot.

It was a gorgeous route. Mostly trotting, a bit of walking when TW was tired and a couple of amazing canters. Ten miles altogether, TW was chuffed. I was starving. Quick wash, back home nd to the field for a roll. Perfect. TW said she was glad bad Oliver didnt kick me. I agree.

Wheeeeeeeee

I wasnt sure I could be bothered to leave the field today. I'm glad I did though. Me and TW went to visit olive and flea for a lovely hack. We did some nice road work and practised bending left and right. Then we got onto the fields and trotted for ages and then had a couple of lovely canters. I wanted to go fast but TW said steady so that's what we did. It was fab!

Back at the yard I had a natter with Rosko and some haylage before we headed home. Then we all spent some time together in the field relaxing before TW bought us grub. And frank double barrelled me. Nobber.

Little one

Today's been a windy and sometimes wet day. TW came early and me and frank went in and had a bowl of grub. Frank did some work and then it was my turn. Back in my lovely turquoise Bitless bridle. We did some circles and some trotting and some tea cup handles and some stopping. TW said I was very good. We even practised the gate. It was short but sweet.

The anchor

It was a muggy warm day today. Me and TW headed off in the box and landed at a pub called the anchor. I was having a little nom when that Olive arrived. Then Harry arrived. Excellent. Boys day out. Off we went.

Today we hacked down tracks, through fields and along busy roads. It was tiring. TW didnt have her sticky so I didnt over exert myself. There were loads of flippin cows about. We had a few little trots and towards the end had some little cantery fun. Very pleasant.

Baxk at the pub I got on the box and slept while the peeps nommed. Then it was back home, I marched Bach to the field and had some lovely rolling in the dust. TW was impressed with my rolling. She thinks I might need clipping again. Oh bugger.

Willow

I was hoping to have a play with TW this evening. THe weather had other ideas. It was super muggy and the flies were rotten.rubbish. TW bought us some grub though and some willow from a tree. Nom.

Hoveringham

Today me and TW went off in the box to some where called Hoveringham. I do like my sport endurance rides, lots of friendly people and horses and grass to nom. It was lovely and sunny and we had an 8 mile stroll with two nice mares called Rosie and Lady and their family. There were lots of cows and quite a few bikes and lots of gates. And some bridges. TW likes bridges. She always says look out for the trolls. Dafty.

This ride was nice and peaceful , just had a few teeny trots and canters. I was sweaty by the end under my saddle so when we got back to the yard I had a nice bath and massage. Lovely. Back at the field I did a big roll for TW and then trotted and cantered down the field to show I was feeling sprightly. She does worry.
