The sound of cogs and spindles

Last night was so horrible that rather than Small going out for the night we decided it was fairer for Donk to come in. He was a bit shivery but cheered up a lot when he found a haynet and his velvetty summer coat dries up ever so quickly.

It's probably the first time he's been in a stable for a good few years. Certainly he had a bit of extra energy when he went back out, helped by the fact he was first pony out to the field in the morning.

We've had a couple of days with Donk now and he's settled down a whole lot. He's continuing to be a gentle and pleasant horse to be around.
