I have to check the horses each morning as we have a timetable conflict. We bring them in early for breakfast and by the time I'm ready to work them they're lying down having a kip! They're obviously partying every night!
I went down to the stables this morning to find Remy up and eating hay, so returned complete with tack only to find he had a watery half-closed eye. It doesn't seem to be serious and on checking this evening, seems to be much better, but It was pretty hot with lots of flies this morning, so I didn't think it was fair to work him.
So, on to Bonbon, and I took her up to the school for a lungeing session.
She's a girl with attitude and she showed it today, shaking her head, squealing and at one point legging it back to the gate. I'm pretty easy-going with her ( some might say too easy going) usually, but, unfortunately for her, there were two girls with attitude in the school today ( I'm a big softy really), and after a little téte à téte she settled down to some calm and attentive work. I was pleased with her and she came back to the yard pretty chilled.
I think our kitchen order MAY be ready by the end of the week, I really hope so as I'm getting sick of having builders around the place ( they're great and they're doing a good job, but enough's enough) and I want to go collect it all before next week - it's going to be the final piece in finishing the appartment. My mum and dad arrive in just under 3 weeks and it has to be ready.
Just learned that my cousin has terminal cancer - I worry for my aunty and uncle, it'll hit them hard.

hehehe that's girls for you! Attitude :))
Got a chuckle out of this! I always prefer that they get the goosies out while being lunged and not when I'm upon their backs! :)
And what the heck - sometimes a girls' just gotta kick up her heels and squeel a bit, right?
It's hot where you are?? We're still waiting for temps to warm up here. Temps in the 60's F and grey skies with occasional spring showers. Aahh, it does make everything vibrant green though!!
Hi C-ingspots!
Bonbon's only just 4 so we're just starting her and I'm pretty easy on her most of the time. She does have attitude though so sometimes I have to let her know it's not allowed. We bred her so know her well enough and she's a sweetie really.
Yes it's pretty warm here, we've had an unusually dry spell for so early in the year and realy could do with some rain now!
