A wee spot of cross country practise.....

Hooray the rain has stopped! Swampy field will hopefully dry up! Yesterday in all that wind some of the fence between us and the dorks BLEW DOWN!!! FFS!!

Me and the Brack were quire happy to come in this morning and we were in for a super treat. Big deep straw beds in the stable! A-MAZE-ING! When we were tucked up with some lovely hay TW disappeared with Ruby dawg to do some poo picking. Me and Bee had a lovely relax and let our tootsies dry off, they were all soggy and muddy cos round by our water trough is like a bleddy bog!

TW came back after about an hour and Ruby tried to pick a fight with that big Enzo mutt. Dawgs are sooooo lound and annoying! Soon there was just us and TW left on the yard which was nice : D it doesn't happen very often. She was sat in the tack room drinking tea and eating some kind of sweety things, greedy guts! She said she didn't feel very well again and was trying to decide if she could be arsed to ride today. Blemin lazy daisy! Anyhoo all of a sudden she got her mojo back and in a sudden scurry of energy she started buzzing round me getting ready to go.

Weight tape - check! Today I'm about 411kg maybe a wee bit less which means despite all the extra hay this week I've been having has all been used up keeping me warm. Brrrrrrr! Tacked up super quick and off we went (lazy beggar didnt pick my tootsies out - shoddy horse owner!). I stood nice so she could hop on but then I was off to eat the grass...hehehehe oops!

Off we went down the drive and before TW could argue I was off left up the street hehehehe. Had a nice march on but the street was a bit busy. I kindly hopped on the pavement to let a couple of silly cars past and then we were on the wee bridlepath.

Jeez it was slippy down there :( my hind legs were slipping and sliding all over the shop. Them big ponces were spying on me which I didn't like, I crept really sllllooooooowly past them and then we were on the nice grassy flat bit was good. I kept suggesting that we could turn right and pootly illegally through some big fields but TW was mean and said no. RUDE! We were gonna go straight on at the bench bit there was a naughty dog walker with a big thing that looked like it wanted to chase me so we went right instead. TW asked if I wanted to trot but I ignored her cos I'd got no energy for faster today. On and on we pootled and then we decided to have a muck about. It was GREAT FUN! We kept sneaking through holes in the hedges and going up and down wee slopy bits , we sneaked in and out of the field a few times and managed to scramble up a really steep bit. Passed a lovely ditch for jumping...maybe later in the year ; )

Me and TW were pretending that we were at Badminton Horse Trials or something, was fab! But all too soon we were on our way home, past the dorks and the girls (think that new ginger one fancies me), up the slippy slopey bit by Zoe's hay then back into the village. As we got into the village we met a nice lady who was complimenting me on my lovliness!!! She was interested in my sore EPSM stuff too and offered me an apple....couldnt believe it TW let me have it!!!! I nearly fainted! I kept it in my mouth for ages but then chomped it up, DELICIOUS! TW popped off me and we had a lovely stroll back to the yard for more hay and then grub.

Lovely day! Really hope Bee can come out with me tomorrow :)
