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 :)

naughty Bracken!! and a freezing hack
Awwwww Bracky pants wuz naughty!!! When TW got to the field , she shouted "Frank, where's Bracky?", the little old bogger had got out of the strip and was standing by the big boys fence! Surrounded by loads of grass!! NAUGHTY!!
I walked all the way up to meet TW and then we walked together down the field so I could show her exactly what Bracky had done. Tut Tut!! She was surprised that I hadn't gone with him, how rude!!! I then walked back up with TW and then she took me to the yard and gave me some lurvely hay! Nom nom!
Poor TW then had to walk back to the field to sort baby Brack out, she caught him fine but he then had a full on paddy galloping and bucking round the field. LOSER!!! Soon enough he was in the stable eating abit of hay ...GREEDY GUTS!!! That belly wuz full!!
No messing about again today, she sure can be determined when she's poorly! Feet picked out (yeah yeah same old story with that front yin again), tack on (saddle seemed to be sitting better today) texts sent to let peeps know where we were going...and then we were awf!! Brack shouting as per normal.
Today TW wanted to go over the road..I on the other hand wasn't sure and offered to just walk round the village instead. Or on someones garden. TW said thanks for the suggestions bud but keep going! Rude!! My little legs were creeping rather slowly this morning, TW didn't know if this was cos I wa stiff / sore or cos I felt a bit lazy or scared on my todd. In the end she gave me a wee kick! OOF!! She hardly ever does that :( I pulled a face and jogged forward and before you knew it we were on the main road, turning right then onto the bridlepath.
It was a lovely sunny day but bleddy freezing! I felt more confident than last time so there was no napping and we just dondered along together in the sun, it was nice! Every so often TW practised standing up in her stirrups taking her weight off my back - feels wierd! We agreed that her stirrups need shortening to do it properly!
Down the grassy tracks, left round the wierd buidlings where I spotted a man walking round the field with a stoopid spaniel! BOG OFF!! On and past the house and then I considered turning up the other path..TW laughed and said " we're not allowed up there" so I got back on track. We were makng better time than last time we did it I think : D
We kept on going, I liked walking on the verges today, passed a Sainsburys van , up the little steep bit ( in walk) and round the little graveyard bit. TW then asked me to walk up a bit of the grassy bridlepath...this was further than we'd ever been before! Hmmm! I was a bit scared but I managed it, just up to the first hedge, we'll go further next time.
Turned round at the hedge and then OH JEEZ! Stupid dog alert. There was a big stupid lurcher thing bounding about just in front of us. Its owner got it on a lead thing but the stupid fecker lay down as I got close to it. Feck off dumbass you're not playing with me!! We got past it though and through the big much heap and back on the track.
Going back the wind was awful cold, TW's eyes were streaming (as was her snotty nose!) so I did a grand job of looking out for scary things. I was marching along lovely! Back through the space station nonsense, bast the demon bench...I could hear the monster before I saw it. TW knew too and tried to make me go wide to see what it was round the corner. EEEEEKKKK I jumped sideways ( I always make sure I catch TW before she falls off). JEEZ LOUISE!! It was just a stoopid fecking little dog and its owner litter picking! "oops a daisy" said TW, who was mightily relieved a) that she hadn't fallen off and b) that my spook didnt take us both over the edge of the ditch!!. Nevermind..onwards and upwards.
Kept on marching, did some more standing in her stirrups nonsense then I could hear summat behind. I'm very good like that, I always let TW know when I can hear something (her ears aren't as fab as mine) and to be fair to her she always listens. It was a runner and a dog so we turned round to face them and pased us they went. Some more marching and the stupid dog and runner are coming back towards us. I sensed something was up and TW knew it too. CHEEKY BLEDDY MONGREL only growled and snapped at me when he went past. RUDDDDDDDDDE!!!!!!! Just what you want when you're nearly on the main road, in fact it was the same place where that dog tried to eat me and Brack a few weeks ago! Grrrrr!!
Onto the road, back to the village where TW jumped off. Passed Rob and rider who were heading out (lazy gets!!) then back for some grub! Bracky was pleased to see us but TW soon chucked him out in the field (she likes to think he'll eat the grass before I get there!).
I had my hay and my food with my PJ's on while TW sat in my stable trying to get warm, Bless her she was absolutely frozzling. Her parents popped to the yard to do a bit of DIY but TW was grumpy and poorly. Tut tut! Anyhoo, soon it was time for me to be turned out in the field too. Brack was stood dozing when I got there, I went and stood at the top of the field then TW made to start running down the field...Didnt need asking twice...yeeeehawwwww off I cantered down the field, past TW and down to Bracky pants to eat the new grass! Lush!! Best make the most of it cos I think there's mutterings about muzzles going on....

Making plans for the new year........
The worrier was up in the dark this mo which is unusual for a weekend! She said she had to spend the day with her grumpy husband today. We don't see the grumpy man very often (Bracken has met him once I think and I've seen him 3 or 4 times), he thinks horses are only good for betting on or something! Heathen!!
Anyhoo, up she came with our brekky and even she noticed how narrow our track looks in the dark! It was a bit drizzly mizzly this morning and a little slippery! She said that we were looking well though (couldnt say the same for her....she had her PJ's on under her tracky bottoms and was all sniffly and snotty!!! Gawjus!!) and gave us both some cuddles.
While we were eating she told us that we were going to do something called a PLEASURE RIDE in April!!! Bracky pricked his wee ears up straight away. He says he's done things like this before and they're good fun! Hopefully we can do this one
http://www.sportendurance.co.uk/bookit/bkiteventwriteup.asp?eventno=000353
but we all need to get fit and healthy first. I'll not get my hopes up but it would be lovely if we could go to some new places next year (2012!), I think it means we have to travel in one of those boxy things though. Hmmm not so keen on that!
TW put us some lovely mr timothy hay out too and promised us we would get some more later! Ooooh thats good! She gave us a wee bit of grass too! Yum!
See ya next year xxxx

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.....
