Down came the rain.....

Firstly, can I just say that I cannot believe that it's Thursday. Already. AGAIN!!!! Grrrrrrrr!! TW will be back at work soon :(

Twas awful windily this morning so TW kindly bought be and Bracky-noo up to the stable yard for a wee shelter. Brack was his usual spookily self which was amusing. We both seemed to be walking ok which TW was pleased about but she reckons my back looked a bit more boney today. Must work harder!!

After a quick cuppa TW vanished with Zo's owner but tbh we didnt care cos we had some yummy hay and it was blemming raining! Yuk! They were gone for ages and both looked very pleased with themselves when they came back.......

TW then picked out my hooves, I didnt want her to do the right front again but in the end she offered me 2 linseed lozenges in exchange...that seemed fair enough so I decided to let her do it. She says my tootsies look good but thinks maybe that front one is a wee bit thrushy still so she got that annoying tea-tree sprey out again...oooh its cold!! My cresty bit was a bit more floppy today which pleased her :)

After faffing about with me for a bit she took me in the school and we did a bit of boring lunging, only 5 mins on both sides which is fecking plenty. Had a few tiny trots but they were a bit uncomfy, was moving nice eneough in walk though. Me and Bracky then had some grub! Yum! Today we had extra stuff in it - vit e and selenium juice and some BRAN!!! TW had our field analysed by someone called Sarah at

http://shop.forageplus.com/

and she's made up a special feed plan for me and Brack. TW hopes that if she gets the minerals and bits right that we might be healthier and hopefully won't have such sore tootsies, that would be nice.

She then gave me some more yummy hay from that nice Timothy man and took Brack back to the field. Ay up!!! What's going on then???

Well that cheeky focker!! I found out what was up when she turned me out after she'd done the poo picking!! She'd only bleddy gone and moved all the leccy fencing!!! That ickle mynci!! I couldnt believe my bleddy eyes. Instead of nearly half a lovely field we've now got an incy wyncy track running round 2 and a bit sides of the field. Cos she'd turned that get Brack out first he'd made a good start on the extra bit of grass she'd given us! HOW FECKING RUDE!!!!

I heard TW chuckling as I whinnied in disgust at the new field lay out, I then trotted and cantered down to the bottom of the field as fast as my lovely cobby legs would carry me. And then the bleddy heavens opened! Aaaaargh!!!!

Ponies in the sun!

Eeeeeee that worrier is a lazy bean! As a sensitive EPSM boy I'm meant to be ridden every day but she decided to have ANOTHER day off today!! Them boggers next door had broken some of there lecy fence, hope they get told off!!

Me and Brack let her off though as
1. it is a lovely sunny day
2. she bought us some yummy brekky
3. and moved the fence posts to give us some grass

Very kind!! Our track system thing is starting to take shape too which means I walk about a fair bit too. Silly bean moved some posts out which was lush - nice long grass for nomming and then she did some poo picking. Nowt silly there you might say, well that is very true. Problem started when she had the bright idea to start moving some of the other posts in. "Seems sensible enough" you cry, well yes of course. Move some posts at the bottom of the field out to give us more grass then move some of the others in to protect some of the other grass.....

Bracky nudged me as soon as he saw what she was doing and whispered " silly bogger doing that while we're here", we had a wee giggle together and before you know it , it was all going wrong!! The tape started coming off and everytime she moved a post in the whole line went wonky!!! Hehehehe! Me and Brack being GOOD BOYS of course went strolling up to her to invesigate.....Bracky was well excited cos one false move by TW and we could have been out in the WHOLE FIELD! YEEEEHAH! She waved a bit of tape about and sked us nicely to be good so in the end we mooched back down to the long stuff and let her get on with it!

While TW was trundling about the field I could see her pulling faces at the grass (she thinks its growing again - I'm sure shes delusional) and sneaking sidey glances at my belly! Cheeky focker thinks I've put weight on! OI LOVE its not be who's scoffing ferrero rocher whatsists is it?? Once upon a time me and Brack would have eaten owt but we're more picky now...the fact that there is lots of grass in our field is neither here nor there! We need more!!!

After she'd finished wrestling with the leccy fencing she hopped over our gate and back to the car! Cheeky bogger was only taking them fecking staffiosa dawgs for a walk instead of playing with us! The stoopid iggy one went and rolled in a lod of fox shite!! Hehehe STINKER!!! Serves you right!

Before she left she jumped back into our field and kindly gave me and The Bee some yummy hay. We did a little trot to show our appreciation and TW commented that we were both moving nicely : D

I'm hoping me and Brack might get to go out together tomorrow.....
