So rude

Human was early today. She took a while to clean my field. Serves her right for being so lazy yesterday. I have no sympathy with her.
I came in only today human actually bothered to see to my hooflets. I got brushed today as well. Now I at least look like someone cares about me.
I was a little shocked to see Norm the lovely lovely saddler man (http://www.equinebowensouthafrica.com/) on the yard. He was there to sort out Rosies saddle. Then he went to take a look at Brack and Frank. Finally he asked to see me. I don't need my saddle sorting it's barely been used since I he was last here but he came to visit anyway. He was soooooooo rude. He said I have gained loads of weight. Rude, rude, rude.
I might forgive him a bit as he put his lovely healing hands on me, I felt myself starting to nod off. It does feel so very nice.
The good news is my saddle still fits ok, doesn't need anything doing to it. Human used that nasty tape thing and says I have gained loads. Dare I tell you how much I weigh? Oh go on then it's only nice humans who read my ponderings isn't it? 451kg. In oct just going into winter I was 411kg. Oops. It's winter. Everyone knows horses lose weight in winter. I think human is getting her fingers caught in the tape or reading it wrong or something. Goodness knows why I am supposed to have gained when I am being starved. I don't even get any hay in my field, only grass and that meagre bit of breakfast. The company says I should have 1kg of dried stuff soaked a day. Human gives me just 100gms. She says I only get that to put a vit supplement in. So you can see I am being starved can't you?
Since August I have got through just 9 bales of hay. To give you a comparison Nugs human gives Nugs and Indy about 30 bales A MONTH between them.
After he had gone I had a wee munch and a rest in my room before going out with Rosie to our field.
