So tired

Human was here early again this morning. Odd she had Rosie's headcollar with her as well as mine. Human dropped them on the floor and went off to clean my field.
She got stopped by a dog walker, the lady with the two choccy labs. Rosie had been tangled up in her rug. The lovely dog walker had made her dogs down and stay while she attempted to sort Rose out. The dog walker knows nothing about horses so didn't want to do any straps up or anything. Rosie just sweetly stood quietly and let the dog walker sort her out. I swear Rosie goes looking for things to cause problems.
Frankie's human turned up just as human finished cleaning up. She went and got Rose and we both came in together. We went in our rooms. Frank was already in his. Brack had refused to come in at all preferring to stay out and eat grass. Sensisble boy.

Human got me dressed for riding and we only went out on our own. Human wasn't rigid or tense today nor did she have that death grip on the reins she had yesterday. We only went round the village and back. It was nice to see some glimmer of the old relaxed human on board.
I went back in my room, odd though I didn't get undressed. Just had my reins tied up. All became clear. Rosie's human came to get me. Frank and Rob were ready with their humans and we all set off together.
Now I have had my shoes off. I found it quite hard work. A combination of nasty stones and being unfit (we won't mention the extra weight I am carrying). I came back all sweaty. I found it very hard going especially on the way home.
Human waited with Rose on the yard until we all got back. She gave me some fresh hay and my rather late breakfast with a carrot in it. Yum. I got my lovely fleece on that helps me dry off. Human only threw a towel over my neck. I looked like I had been in a sauna. Luckily I she didn't take any photos of me looking really silly.
When I had dried off Rose and I went back to the field to practice our synchronised rolling routine. I think we are getting better, more co-ordinated.
Human says I can have tomorrow off. I need it after today. I am so tired.

  1. lol oh bless I wish your human had taken photographs of you with your towel around your neck Zoe. You might have looked like you were ready to enter the boxing ring! I am pleassed you had a nice meander around the village even if it wasn't with your human, but you were out with your friends.
