Extra breakfast

Human was her usual early self. She came to my field and didn't bother cleaning it, just collected me and off we went.

I went in my room for a wee munch before getting dressed to set off on the longest ride we have done since last summer.

Human wanted me to take her to the riding school so she can book a lesson for us. She checked the weather forecast.....not too hot, no rain and off we went.

Onto the not so busy today for some reason road

Onto the quieter road isn't so quiet today road

Onto a stable estate for humans......oh heck the heavens opened, hail, big ol' fat rain, the lot. Human and I were both soaked to the skin....I thought you said you checked the weather forecast?

Onto a short bridleway

And destination reached the riding school.

Human hopped off, she had forgotten to bring a headcollar or lead rope so the very lovely Katie held me while human popped into the office to book us a lesson. Next Fri at 11am. I am going to be pooped. Long ride there, have a lesson and long ride home again.

On human got and we set off for home. All in all it took us 1hr 50mins from leaving the yard to getting back. Pretty good I rekon. Human only wanted me to walk as she wanted to see how long it took us. When I am going for a lesson I don't need to be tired when I get there. That was fine by me.

When we got back I got a double breakfast. Human said I had earned it by being my usual perfect self. I had worked very hard for her. Who am I to refuse when you put it like that human.

On with my nightie and back out to my field. She sorted out a clean bucket of water and cleaned my field before heading off home leaving me to re-fuel ready for another day.

My saddle needs altering. I have lost weight and it's a bit wide for me....get it done soon human please. Note I never once complained...I don't do complaining. Well not often anyway.

Nice bit of rain

Human was her usual early self. She did her jobs round the field and we walked in together.
I went in my room for a wee munch then got dressed for riding. Oh my goodness and it's raining too.
We went in the school for a bit then a quick once round the village to finish off. Was very pleasant.
We had just got back when who should arrive but Nuggets human. I love to see her and hear how my boy is doing. Do you know he will be 7 next week. My how time flies.
I went back to my field and the humans went off to the garden centre for lunch.

Crikey it's busy today

Human arrived bright and early today. Fabulous. I couldn't wait for her to get to my field so stood by the gate. She brought fresh water to top up my water bucket. A quick clean of my field and we were on our way back to the yard. It's another lovely sunny day, not quite as hot as it's been in recent days so I wasn't suprised when out comes the saddle and stuff. I went in my room for a wee munch first then came out to get pampered. I got brushed, my mane plaited up in a running plait. It helps to keep me cool if it's off my neck. Some stuff on to stop me itching, perfume to keep the flies off and finally got dressed to take human out. Off we set. Oh right the triangle ride it is then. The road was very busy. Human was quite relieved to get off that road and onto one of the side roads. Although who should we meet but some huge tractory type thing with flashing lights and very noisy. It slowed right down for me which was nice. On the way home back on the busy road we could hear an emergency vehicle speeding towards us. Human tensed up.....she is a numpty as if I would do anything. It was an ambulance. As soon as it saw us it slowed and turned off it's sirens. Why do we always meet these vehicles on corners so they don't see us 'til the last moment? Back to the yard and in my room for some well earned breakfast. Human faffed about cleaning out a bin for TW so the rats don't eat the boys feed. Spirits human came in my room while human was there and they had a wee chat then started hugging. Very strange behaviour for my human I must say. Human seems to have sorted out the problems of getting the headcam straight now. Just the date/time stamp to sort out and we are good to go. Best bit of course are my super duper mobile ears. On with the nightie and perfume and back out to my field. Bye human.

Fabulous

Human was super early again today. Dropped hay off to the boys and came to me. She cleaned my field but didn't top up the water.......most odd as I have got through lots as it's been hot again. Very strange...

Off she went shouting, "See you later".

Aha........she is coming back later on, we are going out with Frank and his human. Brilliant. A nice day lazing in the sun, followed by taking human out and looking after her. What could be better.

Will have to write later of our adventures

Frankie and TW weren't able to come out with us so I took human for a fast and furious ride on our own. We trotted and cantered most of the way with bits of walk in between. I had a cheeky (with permission obviously) munch on the way home. The sun was shining but it wasn't too hot. Human was riding like she knew what she was doing which is always a bonus. Shame about Frank but there is always another day.
Can you see the hedge parsley peeping out of the side of my mouth? Busted. I was a-munching. I was looking at TW coming down the road with buckets of food. Not for me sadly.

Beating sticks

I sort of got my wish today. Human arrived very early. She dropped some hay off to the boys on her way to my field.
A quick clean of my field and two containers of water needed to top up my water today.....well it has been very hot here...and in I came.
Great I thought I can take her out for a wee plod, that will make her feel better. But no. I only got to do some running round in circles in the school for a while.
I tried very hard to look my best and do whatever human asked when she asked. She didn't have the very long beating stick with her today, couldn't find it. So I just went from what she asked me verbally. I thought it was a nice touch. Oh no need to worry anyone the long beating stick isn't for beating me with, she just waggles it about to give instructions. It makes her feel all important I think.
That was it. Had a nice bowl of munch for breakfast and then back on with the nightie and perfume and back out to my field.
I have heard tomorrow I am going to take her out with Frank and his human. I do hope so.

More time please

Human was super super super early today. Nearly the middle of the night for goodness sake.
She wasn't looking too good. Sorry human but  you weren't. She's been leaking again. This is never a good sign. I stood and gave her some magic Zoe cuddles. I know this usually has an effect.
Human cleaned my field and topped up my water although it didn't really need topping up I appreciate the gesture.
That was it. Off she went on her not so merry way.
I have a request please human. Can we spend a bit more time together before you go dashing off? I don't like it when you are here and gone like a flash. Breakfast was nice.....that carrot was HUGE.

My favourite visitor

The Grandfoal. Oh yes. She had been for a lesson at the riding school and popped in with human on her way home.
It's really hot and sunny here. I am getting through lots of water. Human kindly topped up all my water so will be ok until tomorrow. Actually there is more than enough for a couple of days. Human just gets her knickers in a twist worrying about me running out. It's never happened yet I might add. No matter how hot it gets I would never be able to get through a full bucket (actually its a dustbin) full of water in a day. Doesn't stop human worrying though.
I have tomorrow off as well. Human, the Stallion, YMF and her Stallion are all off walking up in Derbyshire. I am glad I am not going I think it's going to be way too hot.
