- What to do if horse eating bed...
- Best fly spray horse...
- What to do if straw stuck in finger...
You know the sort of thing.
Well, if there was a search engine for horses, I'd be typing:
- What to do if person won't stop watching...
- What to do if trying to eat and person calling name...
- Grooming...how much normal?
- How to stop human bringing everyone to meet you...?
Today, we've been on a longer walk. Sian told me she'd been brave and told her friend who lives on the road up to the woods to look out for us in the morning. That meant she had to add an extra bit onto our hack - the final bit before we go into the woods! Sian said once we get into there, they'll never get us out again as the woods will be some of the best rides - until we venture to the beach. I don't know what this beach thing is but it all sounds pretty exciting!
I came across a few scary things on my travels this morning. A very colourful place with lots of things that spin and sway! I wasn't really sure what it was but Debbie said Rocky doesn't like parks either... Sian said we will walk past again another day and told me there really isn't anything to be frightened of. Then we found a funny drain! I'd been pretty confident around the rest of them but this one was making a funny noise. I tried to stare it out but it carried on whooshing and then I made myself jump! Sian said I'd given her a fright and then got the giggles! I'm sure we will meet again and this time, drain, I will get the upper hand!
Yesterday, I decided to make a squeaking sound when I walked. Debbie said it was my legs rubbing together so Sian decided to buy me some boots. She thought they might help me going down hill sometimes too. I tried them on today. If I had horse google, I think I'd type "how to tell human to stop buying matching items..."
Boots and flares are in aren't they?
I think Debbie likes my style!
I was pretty impressed with Sian and Aunty Lynne tonight as between them they managed to brave getting me in without waiting for Debbie to amuse the other horses with hay as she plays 'run the risk' across the field with a hay net. Syd was having a day in his stable today so I was pretty happy to come in but then Sian let me spend some time in the courtyard while she moved me back to my original stable by walking backwards and forwards with wheelbarrows and forks and such like. I think I made her jump because when she came back round she couldn't see me but I was hiding around the corner sleeping!
Hi! Can I go to my stable yet?
Finally, about 7:30, after putting me in my stable and watching me like a hawk, clearly worrying like mad that I might eat my bed, she finally closed the stable door and left with Debbie. I didn't really notice that much as I'd just found my salt lick that was hanging in my stable and was having a good old lick of that.
Then, just as I was chowing down on my net which was rather soggy (I guess she's decided to start soaking everything), you'll never guess what happened. She came back again! This time she brought Damien back with her. He came striding over saying "hiya mate!" but I was a bit too busy. I couldn't help noticing the fact that he looked a little disappointed then but he asked Sian if it was a good thing that I didn't keep coming over. Did it mean I was 'settled'? Sian said 'yes' but I wasn't so sure if she wasn't just trying to make him feel better.
Damien was very keen to help out and kept asking if there was anything he could do. But, actually, I'm pretty sure Sian was spying on me to make sure I wasn't eating my bed. I wasn't - I've realised these hay nets aren't half bad! So she watched me with her hawk like eyes as I ate my net and then played with my treat ball - is there a reason she seems to be breaking the treats up into millions of tiny pieces? I bet she's skimping on those crunchy treaties!
