my dearest Franklyn,

Sorry for hijacking your blog but I'm sure you're far too busy munching hay to be bothered. I just wanted to tell you that maybe you could try really hard not to worry me every now and again as frankly Frankie I have lots of other peeps to worry about too., ( Frankly Frankie...did you like that? Bet Brack will find that funny).

It was lovely to see you as always today, you're both obviously starving!! I noticed that you're standing s bit funny at the moment, not sure if it's the cold or maybe due to your escapades at the start of the week.

I wasn't so keen on receiving a text this afternoon telling me that your fence wasn't working as you were leaning on it again. Why is that? Can you explain how when I drive from Doncaster to the field ( which is quite a long way) that the fence is working perfectly fine..hmmmmmm. I was impressed with how quickly you both ate the extra bowls of fast fibre I gave you, I'd love to say you were happy to see me but I think that might be a lie. It was lovely when you started to walk towards me when I finished testing the fence....until I realised that actually you were just reminding me that you were ready for your hay. Down to earth with a bump!

Brack however continues to mostly ignore me....maybe occasionally you could take it in turns to try and make me feel a wee bit wanted? Or do I need to drop your feed and muzzle you both? I find that seems to make you happier to see me ;)

BTW there's more snow forecast, I'm sure you'll both be gutted if we can't ride for another few days. You did see a bit less sparkly eyed today but maybe you're just cold and bored of the ice. I would rug you but it makes you too hot, awkward boy.

See you bright and early
