An interesting day

Today has been hectic but really good fun. A month or so back life_of_tom and I visited allezbleu's yard on the way back from the Jackals event so I could have a bit of a play with her little cute pony Jess. She seemed quite happy with what I did that day because when one of her friends at the yard was having trouble with her mare allezbleu suggested sleepsy_mouse and I could maybe come over and visit with them to see if we could help. We chose this afternoon as a good time to go over so I've been checking the met office every five minutes for the last few days because I'm always excited to go and meet new horses and I was hoping someone would forecast some not rain for the afternoon.

As we knew we were busy in the afternoon we ended up trying to cram most of a day into the morning, so I did a bit of work with Zorro and we did a bit of riding bareback in the halter. We also did a little bit of playing at liberty, which sleepsy_mouse got on video. It wasn't textbook but with him snapping at me, grabbing at moutfuls of grass on the go and me swinging away with the halter to try and persuade him forward it is pretty funny. I swear I have the most insubordinate horse ever. He's a pleasure to ride though, always a pleasure to ride.

After that we went to fetch our lorry back from the repair place. Oh yes! After only four months the horsebox is back on the road. In a day or two it will be back on eBay. That is enough of that!

Then sleepsy_mouse brought in her Small pony and they did a bit of riding in the school. Just ten minutes, but it's great to see him able to work again and to see the smile on her face when he is.

Then it was off around the M25 to visit a mare.
