muddy munchkins

I've not been able to blog for a while as the munchkins have stolen the laptop to watch peppa pig. TW hasn't been hanging around too much cos the weather has been shite and she's been busy. Too busy even for us to have a day in the barn when it was pishing it down. Today we were muddy. And hungry.

She came early with the pups and I had meds and we got brekky and hay. Then we did some chilling. A bit later she came back with the munchkins. The baby munchkin seems very happy outside, I snuffled him with my nose and tried to grab his sleeve. Not sure that was allowed. The middle munchkin was feeling brave today and had a sit on Bracky and then had a tiny ride on Jez and me while Boblet held her on. Then she fed us which was lovely. Everything else is adequate. Bit dull but nowt to complain about yet.

more rain

Today we have mostly been eating cleavers. And singing in the rain. TW was up uber early and then came back in the evening to poo pick. But she said it was too soggy boggy so has left it for another day. TWgave us buckets full of clivers in the morning and then the kids picked me loads at tea time. Rusty the ginge has moved to the other side of us too which is interesting..the Sno-Po is not that impressed...

bad brack an good me

Today has been sunny, I didn't spit out my meds and I ate my brekky. We hadn't eaten all they haynets but she still chucked us a nice fresh bale on the floor. All is fine and steady in the field. The grass has started to grow a bit on the strip too so that's a bleddy bonus.

Later on in the day TW came back with Boblet and his family of munchkins. Brack was bad and has zipped under the leccy fence and was nomming all the long grass. TW was not impressed. The muesli bribe worked again. They fed us hay and cleavers and the biggest munchkin was feeling super brave and sat on Jez and ME for the first time, all on his own. He is referring to us as "his" horses....

rejection

Since TW moved the fence posts there's not been much grass to eat. When she arrived this morning we were starving, waiting for her at the gate. I spat my drugs out and kicked over my brekky with all the supplements and then ate Jezs food instead.

TW is slacking a bit at the moment and doesn't seem to have much time for doing things with us. We've decided we will give her a week more to sort it out and then we will mutiny.

softer

The new reduced size strip does not have much grass. So when TW arrived this morning we were so pleased to see her cos the hay had all gone. She fed us and filled up the nets and did the daily vaseline routine. It was another sunny day but not quite so hot but the flies were still shite.

Anyhoo, I'm only having 1 scoop of equisure at the moment cos the tubs getting low but I seem to be doing ok. Trimmer deb said i was much softer. I resisted kicking TW during the trim so that was good.

Snooze, flies and therapy

Today was a hot day with shitty flies from the start. 1/3 tube of drugs and a snooze. TW had plenty of time for riding but instead chilled in the field reading and doing jobs. It was nice and laid back. Apart form the bits where me and Jez kicked shit out of each other. We reminded her that it was important to be mindful and to breathe slowly. She needs a lot of reminding. Then me and Bee got out of the field cos it wasn't shut too properly. She got so mad she thwacked me with my leadrope. Now that wasn't very mindful was it? And it certainly made catching us a damn sight harder. Ha!!

She stayed for ages and then tootled off to see the dogs.

She wasn't gone long when she reappeared and gave me and Jez a brush. And decided that she was worried bout Jezs weight. So started.to move the fence posts to give us even less grass. Bee was faster than TW and got onto the long grass faster than a really bleddy fast thing. She was SO mad!! She stomped down the field and made three bowls of feed.. Me and Jez went flat out down the field and got to nomming. Bracky ignored her.

TW shouted and said bad words and had bad thoughts. And said bad words and shouted. Brack just grazed. After what seemed like an eternity he finally realized there was grub and he galloped flat out down the field too and she tricked him into the bare bit. Oops!!

So now we have less grass in the shelter field and the gate to the barn field is shut too.  Fortunately we still have hay.  Then we all did a therapy session and I was a really good boy.

more rain, mud and a snooze

So today is the first day of summer. And it's been absolutely pishing down again. The mud is swamp like and it's a chilly bean at night so we are scoffing loads of hay. TW likes that.

Today we had riding plans but the wet and the mud was not appealing. So we ate our grub and she did some nice hay nets and then bogged off. Jez is absolutely filthy!

TW came back mid afternoon and we were all still happy so she sat by the wall. And slept. Twonk. She started her training today - she went for a nice walk this evening and then had 3 beers on the way home. MvH will be entertaining....
