Edumacated

Today was really good fun- we pretty much spent it at the yard with the ponies. One of the other horses at the yard was leaving, having just been sold and her field mate was getting a little anxious. This combined with the fact that Jasper and the other new arrival on the yard both seem to enjoy squeaking at each other made it quite a noisy place to be.

There were a couple of minutes of drama as we helped retrieve a walker who had fallen and broken their ankle (probably) at the end of the field but aside from that things were mostly peaceful.

We brought Joe in and gave him hugs and grooming, took Jasper out for a little walk up the hill again and I had a lesson on charming Zorro by the end of which I had a few strides of trot where I managed to keep my hands down and my heels down at the same time. Quite an achievement!

Tonight it's raining and windy. sleepsy_mouse is worried that Jasper will blow away.
